James Wan Not Producing Resident Evil Reboot After All

Despite initial reports to the contrary, James Wan is not going to be producing the upcoming Resident Evil reboot. Wan spoke with Bloody Disgusting and shot down the report, noting that the news was premature at best.

“They announce that I’m attached to a lot of stuff and a lot of them are not necessarily real,” Wan said. “It’s kind of annoying when things come and go, or things never came in the first place. I hate it when my projects get announced. It makes it seem like I’m attached to a lot of things when in fact I’m not necessarily doing so many things. A lot of my stuff just get announced and I don’t want them to be announced but people love to announce them.”

Wan’s next film to be seen in theaters is Aquaman, which is out on Friday.
