Zach Cregger's in-development <em>Resident Evil </em>reboot is said to be taking the franchise back to its horror roots and basing itself on the "<em>initial games</em>" in the franchise to do so. If this means the next movie will be adapting the first or second game of the source material, I kind of think that would be a mistake, as audiences just watched an adaptation of those titles with <em>Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City</em>, which merged both the first and second games into one film. While the argument could be made to just have the movie be based on one of those two games, I think it's ultimately better if the movie adapted something like <em>Resident Evil 3 </em>or <em>Zero</em>, which will have name familiarity for franchise fans, while also being different enough to offer something fresh for those only familiar with the films.
