I have read about that, but he did try to make the movie of the game at least like the game. From what I read, he kept certain plot points that were relevant to the game such as the Mansion incident and even though there would have been changes,  Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine would have still been main characters. Now here's the more fucked up part, the part you know, Capcom rejected the script under the premise that it was nothing like the game at all. Now I am no expert at Resident Evil. I have played only a few games of the franchise, but let me ask you something, was there ever an Alice? Were Chris and Jill just throwaway characters in the sequel? The latter of which was what pissed me off about Anderson's version. He seemed to simply slap them on there because they were in the game as if he didn't even know how important they are. As for a political message,  RE had one simple one, don't screw around with Nature, because you do more harm than good. The T virus in both the movies and the game were made as a means reverse death it wasn't ready, it got loose and no matter what rather than trying to cure it or destroy the infected, they try to control it instead. That's a Romero message even without Romero.

As for King,  the reason why his characters run into the bad side of religion all the time, is because he puts himself in the shoes of every main character he writes, if it's happened to him it's happened to his characters. The Shining was one of many books that served as a wake up call for his alcoholism for example. Now with that said he doesn't downplay the good sides of the relgions either. Sue Snell's mother is Christian, not to the extreme's of Margaret White, but despite that she is one of the few characters in that book that never used it as an excuse to hurt anyone. John Coffey and Paul Edgecomb believe that God gave the former his ability to heal people and Paul even asked John what should he say to god in regards to killing one of his greatest achievements. There was no malice to it at all in that one.
