‘Saros’ Review, ‘Resident Evil’ Trailer Reactions, and a Recent Release Roundup | Button Mash

And so this is exciting, but we hadn't really seen much.

The Ringer-Verse
‘Saros’ Review, ‘Resident Evil’ Trailer Reactions, and a Recent Release Roundup | Button Mash

We had heard him talk about it.

And now we've just gotten this two minute or so teaser trailer.

The Ringer-Verse
‘Saros’ Review, ‘Resident Evil’ Trailer Reactions, and a Recent Release Roundup | Button Mash

And yeah, I mean, it looks good.

I think that, you know, when we talked about Requiem and Joshua Rivera was here and he talked about the comedic aspects of Resident Evil,

The Ringer-Verse

And how, in addition to being scary, it's also sort of funny and silly and slapstick sometimes.

And Krager seems like the perfect person to adapt that sensibility.

The Ringer-Verse

And he has been clear about the fact that this is not a direct adaptation of any particular game.

The Ringer-Verse

And it's not.

Clearly, we're not seeing Leon or Jill or anyone you would recognize in this trailer.

It's just going on while everything else that happens in Resident Evil is going on.

The Ringer-Verse
‘Saros’ Review, ‘Resident Evil’ Trailer Reactions, and a Recent Release Roundup | Button Mash

And it seems like it strikes the right tone to the extent that we can tell from a two-minute trailer.

The Ringer-Verse
‘Saros’ Review, ‘Resident Evil’ Trailer Reactions, and a Recent Release Roundup | Button Mash

So in Kreger, I trust.

Protagonist played by Austin Abrams from Weapons, which I loved.

Weapons is wonderful.

Even as a non-horror movie guy, there's enough levity in these things that I enjoy them anyway.

The Ringer-Verse
‘Saros’ Review, ‘Resident Evil’ Trailer Reactions, and a Recent Release Roundup | Button Mash

So I think that he is the perfect person to deliver this new way of adapting Resident Evil, a less one-to-one adaptation.

The Ringer-Verse
‘Saros’ Review, ‘Resident Evil’ Trailer Reactions, and a Recent Release Roundup | Button Mash

It's coming September 18th, so we will certainly be covering it here.

The Ringer-Verse

Not long to wait.

Just a couple last points about these adaptations.
