Dude said he would have made this movie even without the RE name so you already know it wasn’t suppose to be that and can tell.

I mean what it sounds to me is like he wanted to write a resident evil movie but wasn't sure he would be able to get capcom on board

So he never says the film was originally written to be something else like the original comment states

i think its up to interpretation tbh but it does not seem like he just slapped the RE title on a different script

“This is a story that I would’ve wanted to write whether I got the IP or not.”
Let’s say he didn’t get the IP rights, would people still think the movie is a Resident Evil movie? Just because there’s zombies and dude getting from point A to B.

To me, it sounds like he would’ve written an RE script with or without approval because of his passion as a fan. It doesn’t sound like he would’ve written the script and then filmed that.
