Write On with ‘Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City’ Writer-Director Johannes Roberts

Write On: A Screenwriting Podcast

The 47 Meters Down filmmaker talks the latest installment of the phenomenally successful Resident Evil horror franchise and how he tackled it: "I find it quite intimidating at times. There is a lot of pressure to get this right. I'm always wary about making something for someone, making a movie for the fans because who knows, really, what they want? So you really just have to do it for yourself." Johannes talks about staying faithful to the Resident Evil video games and how he managed to make a movie that was also personal: "I created this movie with love, and it's a very unusual franchise movie in that… it feels like a retro 70's thriller. You can tell my personality in that movie; it's a very quirky, odd, but hopefully hugely scary movie." Don’t forget to subscribe to the Write On Podcast on iTunes! Now available on Google Podcasts!
