Resident Evil became a very successful movie franchise, moving from video games to the big screen. But a horror master, most known for inventing the modern zombie genre, almost got his hands on it. Brandon Salisbury directed a new documentary, George A. Romero's Resident Evil, available on digital and on-demand today. It examines how close Romero came to realizing the project, what went wrong, and everything in between. "George A.

Resident Evil Was Okay, But With Romero Could Have Been A Classic

Romero's Resident Evil brings to light the enduring mystery and the ambitious spirit that could have redefined the franchise's journey into Hollywood.
I am a sucker for this kind of thing, and I devour anything I can about Hollywood what-ifs, and this is a big one in horror circles. I remember seeing little news bits about this project in video games and horror magazines at the time. When the first Resident Evil film trailer came out, I was disappointed that Romero did not direct it. The franchise went on to gross $1.2 billion dollars worldwide, so they did something right. But we could have had the greatest video game adaptation of all time. It was right there. You can findd out the whole story by watching George A. Romero's Resident Evil, available digitally and on demand today.
