Paul W.S. Anderson's 2002 video game adaptation RESIDENT EVIL (watch it HERE) was a box office success that received five sequels released over the next fourteen years… but before Anderson was hired to write and direct RESIDENT EVIL, genre icon George A. Romero – the man who invented flesh-eating zombies to begin with – had the job, and for more than twenty years fans have been left to wonder, "What if Romero had made RESIDENT EVIL?"
That's why we felt Romero's scrapped version of RESIDENT EVIL was the perfect project to focus on in the premiere episode of our new video series, THE HORROR MOVIE THAT ALMOST WAS!
Here's what this series is all about:
In THE HORROR MOVIE THAT ALMOST WAS we take a look at horror films that went deep into development, pre-production or actual production, to then nose dive and crash & burn. What happened? What went wrong? Did we miss out on some hidden gems, or did we dodge messy bullets? Let's find out!
In the video embedded above, we dig into Romero's RESIDENT EVIL adaptation and share all of the information we have on this horror movie that was never made, but almost was.
THE HORROR MOVIE THAT ALMOST WAS is Written, Narrated and Edited by Tyler Nichols, and produced by John Fallon, with Berge Garabedian executive producing.
