Resident Evil Movie Director Reacts To Backlash, Says He Was “Naive” To Think Gamers Would Embrace Him

Comments

1. Dane: that's cute, he said he was naive... does he know how much the budget for this movie is?
2. Sana: can't blame him for wanting to make a film that's not just a direct adaptation. seems like he genuinely thinks the ideas are worthy on their own terms
3. 🐺 Elena M.: it's pretty rich he says he was naive now - didn't he realize what kind of IP this is?
4. Hollow Moth: thought we were getting a real game-to-movie treatment for once though
5. Diazlucas: he thinks gamers are naive now, but how did he think his "reimagining" wouldn't invite criticism?
6. Iron Raven: thought you were bringing something new to the table, not just repurposing an existing game's identity for more views
7. Umbra Signal: naivety's just a nice way of saying out of touch with the fandom
8. Liam: that's actually kind of nice of him to admit he was naive, hope that self-awareness translates to a better film somehow
