Write On with 'Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City' Writer-Director Johannes Roberts

Written by Final Draft | November 23, 2021
The   47 Meters Down  filmmaker talks the latest installment of the phenomenally successful   Resident Evil  horror franchise and how he tackled it: "I find it quite intimidating at times. There is a lot of pressure to get this right. I'm always wary about making something   for someone, making a movie   for the fans because who knows, really, what they want? So you really just have to do it for yourself."
 
Johannes talks about staying faithful to the   Resident Evil  video games and how he managed to make a movie that was also personal: "I created this movie with love, and it's a very unusual franchise movie in that… it feels like a retro 70's thriller. You can tell my personality in that movie; it's a very quirky, odd, but hopefully hugely scary movie."
