Zach Cregger

I said I didn't want any part of this.

Uh, it is directed by Zach Cregger, who if for some reason you don't know who he is, uh, he very recently did Weapons, uh, which was obviously a cultural hit last year.

Before that he did Barbarian, which just got a physical media release this past week, two weeks.

So it is on 4K steelbook, which is awesome to see, 'cause that came out in 2022.

Yes.

Uh, Gucci interviewed him.

Uh, Gucci interviewed both Zach Cregger and the lead in this movie.

Uh, which y- you wanna talk about the definition of a lead actor in a movie-

But, you know, now we have this movie that just came out, and it's...

Look, man, if you, if you like Zack Cregger's other movies, if you like his, you know, other works with Barbarian and Weapons, and you like what he did there, which I, I did, you're definitely gonna like this.

And I'm right up that alley.

Now, I'll just get it out of the way here in the beginning because I don't wanna wait until the end.

It has been teased for years, and now it's finally happening.

And then if there's anything in, in a reverse effect, a video game that's finally gonna get its, uh, its justice done on the screen, uh, Zach Cregger's Resident Evil.

Um-

I am so glad you brought that up.

And most of the conversation just turned into Resident Evil.

Oh, man.

And, and everything I've seen with the way Zach Cregger's approach to it, and I, I don't know, have you, have you heard anything that he's said or seen any of the little clips?

I have seen the clips.

Okay.

But this one from Zach Krieger, the weapons director, is a total reboot.

It's a new and original story that he wrote.

And it made $8.8 million in previews.

More from Scott Carr.

A relaunch of the Resident Evil franchise from Zach Cregger brought in $60 million in its debut weekend.

Hello? [footsteps] There, there's an emergency here.

Was wondering if I could use your phone?

2026.

Obviously not one of the old ones that suck, but the new one done by Zach Cregger.

Well, you haven't even seen the old ones, right? So you can't say they suck.

I'm just kidding.

A big surprise is the Resident Evil getting 60 million.

I mean, it's a Zach Cregger movie.

I think, uh, it, where...

From where I sit, he's three for three.

I, I'm more invested in other franchises.

As someone who's not invested, I had a good time, and I like, I like Cregger.

I like Zach Cregger's films more than [laughs] I like the RE games.

I'm sorry.

I'm not used to it.

But, so I just came out of seeing, uh, Zach, the new Zach Cregger movie, Resident Evil, which, uh, came out on September 18th at the time of recording.

This is opening weekend.

And I...

In the old pod, we liked Zach Cregger stuff.

We liked Barbarian and we liked Weapons.

And, you know, I couldn't be happier to review another Zach Cregger's movie.

Is it Cregger or Cregger's? I should know this.
