Filming a major motion picture is never easy, but for Resident Evil movie director Zach Cregger, the production was reportedly a period of intense personal struggle due to severe health issues. Cregger recently shared insights into the challenging conditions he faced throughout the making of the film, revealing a taxing ordeal that lasted much of the production timeline.
According to his statements made to The Hollywood Reporter, Cregger’s health woes began early on. For the entire first half of the Resident Evil shoot, he was battling pneumonia, a serious respiratory infection. As if that wasn’t enough, the second half of the film’s production brought another significant health crisis. During this period, Cregger contracted Campylobacter jejuni, an infection notoriously known for causing severe digestive distress, including diarrhea. This meant the director was grappling with debilitating illnesses almost continuously from start to finish.
This demanding experience paints a picture of a director literally ‘going through hell’ while bringing the Resident Evil universe to the big screen. This report is based on information initially published by GameSpot.
