ROMERO'S UNMADE RESIDENT EVIL MOVIE</strong></p><p>In 1998, Capcom hired the grandfather of zombie cinema to adapt RESIDENT EVIL, their blockbuster video game series, into a feature film. Romero had his assistant record himself playing the games and would then study the footage, crafting a script that held to the heart of the first game in the iconic survival horror series.</p><p>Adam walks us through this fascinating script and helps us unpack why this adaptation was ultimately canceled.
