Many things have been effect by just how well Resident Evil 7 did. Both Devil May Cry 5 and Resident Evil 2 remake are using the engine which makes sense as we might as well keep using something that worked so well. But that isn’t where everything stops as to day we learn that the Resident Evil Movie Reboot is inspired by RE 7.
“Obviously I’m a huge fan of the franchise so to work on that was a lot of fun. And they’ve made six films before so when you come back to that and reboot it, you wanna do something different and not just rehash. For me it was very clear cut that I wanted to go back and make it scary again like a horror film in terms of the classic James Wan style so that was the pitch, going back and looking what made the games scary in the first place so yeah Resident Evil 7 was a bit of a touchstone for my draft. Yeah, exactly, and not to shame the original film franchise that was made, I think that did very well, when you create a fresh reboot and look at the over the top action of the Paul Anderson franchise, it was fun and really cool but at the end of the day, for me as a fan of the original game franchise, I always considered the franchise to be horror at the forefront and action as a secondary feature. So it just made sense to go back to the horror roots.” Director Greg Russo
