They were developed almost simultaneously, and in a way, it was very liberating for us, because the first thing you will see from the fans is that they want a direct adaptation. Well, the good news is that they do. It’s a very well done adaptation of the first two games. So for us, it was like, ‘OK, well, they’re doing that, now let us go and forge our own path.’
So it’s not a coincidence, it was designed that way and the idea is that, you know, these two things can exist side by side, again, because the whole movie is exploring our world. That doesn’t mean we’re going to share actors and things like that, that becomes more complicated. Obviously, his Wesker is not young Lance Reddick. But, you know, that was a choice that Constantin made with the goal of maximum development.
