‘Hit My Line’ — The Walking Dead Star Chandler Riggs Made His Own Resident Evil 7 Fan Film, and He’d Love to Work With Zach Cregger on a Sequel

Chandler Riggs, best known for playing Carl in The Walking Dead, made his own fan film adapting an iconic moment from Resident Evil 7 — and he’d love to collaborate with Zach Cregger on another movie in the RE universe, if he’s up for it.

Zach Cregger’s Resident Evil adaptation hit theaters in September to rave reviews, becoming the most financially successful film in the entire franchise. Just a month later, Riggs is releasing his own Resident Evil short film further along in the games’ timeline in Resident Evil 7: Biohazard.

Riggs adapted the iconic garage fight between Ethan Winters and Jack Baker in a high-octane 20-minute journey, not for fame and acclaim, but merely for the love of the game. Riggs told us that he simply wanted to bring this moment to life on-screen — but given the timing of his film and Cregger’s Resident Evil movie, we had to ask about his thoughts on how close his project was to Cregger’s big-budget take on Capcom’s flagship horror franchise.
