Director Zach Cregger said he suffered from two illnesses during production of Resident Evil. Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, he said he had pneumonia during the first half of the shoot and Campylobacter jejuni, which causes diarrhea, during the second half.
Cregger said his poor health made it difficult to feel in command of the production. He credited the heads of his departments with helping him manage the shoot and singled out star Austin Abrams for his efforts. More details are expected as the story develops.
