Apparently, Zach really wants to capture the feeling you get when playing the games – that tense moment when you’re low on supplies and dread going into a new area, but you absolutely have to. That’s what he’s aiming for with the movie, and honestly, as a fan, that sounds incredible. He wants us to feel that same anxiety and anticipation!
