Zach Cregger, director of the new Resident Evil adaptation, claims he will respect the franchise lore while taking creative liberties.

Instead of a lore-accurate adaptation, he's aiming for a fresh, atmospheric take that channels the feel of the games rather than their specifics.

Resident Evil reboot director Zach Cregger is a big fan of the video games, but doesn't plan on totally adhering to the established lore.
