Cregger Crafts an Original Avatar for Resident Evil, With Abrams Showing the Way

Zach Cregger explains he created an original character for his Resident Evil movie instead of retelling Leon’s story, using Austin Abrams as a relatable ‘avatar’ who navigates a nightmarish Raccoon City as a medical courier. The film, co-written with Shay Hatten and featuring a cast that includes Zach Cherry, Kali Reis, Paul Walter Hauser and Johnno Wilson, adapts the 1996 Capcom game and opens in theaters on Sept. 18.
