Gaming News Chandler Riggs Leads Resident Evil 7 Short Film Last updated: October 14, 2026 5:22 pm By Gamers Illustrated 13 Min Read Share SHARE We need to rewrite as short natural article under 500 words, using only real article content, ignoring junk text like “You may like”, etc. Must keep , , and <a> tags exactly as they are, same position. Use </p> <h2> for headings and </p> <p> for paragraphs. Finish article completely, no cut off. Output only HTML.</p> <p>We need to identify the real article content: The paragraphs and links. The “You may like” is junk; also the <span class="flex..."> is junk. Also the <a id="elk-collectionwidget-fbe9638b03b6e4b505af08496151a60b"/> and <a id="elk-dca1d5fe-c7ec-11f1-a5f2-d7829fc8382b"/> are likely junk (no href). The <iframe> not present; only <img> and <a> tags. So we must keep the existing <img> and <a> tags exactly as they are, in same position.</p> <p>We need to produce a short natural article under 500 words, using only real article content (i.e., the paragraphs and the link). We need to incorporate the <img> and <a> tags exactly as they appear.</p> <p>Let’s extract the real content:</p> <p>Paragraph 1 (id elk-dca1d144…): “Most may know Chandler Riggs from his role as Carl in The Walking Dead, but now some may know him as the director of the short film fan-adaptation of Resident Evil 7. Lasting but 20 minutes, it’s set in the Baker’s bayou home and takes place during the garage fight scene between the protagonist Ethan Winters and the infected Jack Baker. The most jarring thing about this short film isn’t the graphic fight, though, it’s Ethan’s face.”</p> <p>Paragraph 2: “Fans of Resident Evil 7 and Village will know that Ethan Winters is quite a shy guy, almost never showing his face apart from a couple instances in the Shadows of Rose DLC (and when you get the camera angle just right). Since both games are done in first-person there’s no need to spend a lot of time looking at the man you’re playing, and Capcom really leaned into that.”</p> <p>Paragraph 3: There’s an <a> tag with href to IGN interview. The text inside is: “interview with IGN”. But the <a> tag includes surrounding text: “interview with IGN”. Actually the <a> tag is: <a data-analytics-id="inline-link" href="https://www.ign.com/articles/hit-my-line-the-walking-dead-star-chandler-riggs-made-his-own-resident-evil-7-fan-film-and-hed-love-to-work-with-zach-cregger-on-a-sequel" target="_blank" data-url="https://www.ign.com/articles/hit-my-line-the-walking-dead-star-chandler-riggs-made-his-own-resident-evil-7-fan-film-and-hed-love-to-work-with-zach-cregger-on-a-sequel" referrerpolicy="no-referrer-when-downgrade" data-hl-processed="none" data-article-category="movies-tv" data-mrf-recirculation="inline-link" rel="noopener">interview with IGN</a>. So the link text is “interview with IGN”. That’s part of article.</p> <p>Paragraph 4: “But Riggs made the decision to not only star as Ethan, but also to give him some more face time. “It was absolutely an intimidating thing,” Riggs says in an <a ...>interview with IGN</a>. “We’re trying to do so much [that’s] super faithful and true to the game, but this is a huge aspect that we are breaking from it.””</p> <p>Paragraph 5: There’s a <span class="youtube-video-title">Biohazard Exclusive Teaser Trailer: Chandler Riggs’ Resident Evil 7 Fan Film (2026) – YouTube</span> – this is not a paragraph, but a span. It’s not a paragraph, but we need to keep <img> and <a> tags exactly as they are. The <span> is not an allowed tag? The rule says keep <img>, <iframe>, and <a> tags exactly as they are. It doesn’t mention <span>, but we should keep them as they appear. However the rule says “Keep <img>, <iframe>, and <a> tags exactly as they are, in the same position.” It doesn’t forbid other tags, but we must not modify them. So we can keep the <span> as is.</p> <p>Then there is an <img> tag: .</p> <p>Then an <a class="watch-on-youtube-cYrDu9GBxn8" href="https://youtu.be/cYrDu9GBxn8" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Watch On</a>.</p> <p>Paragraph 6: “But there isn’t really another good way to tell [the story] in a live-action format. I was going back and forth like ‘Okay, could we do first person the whole time? Could we avoid getting his face in or anything?’ But the more we went back and forth on it, the more I was like, I mean, if we are going to do this and are going to appeal to a wider audience—more than just the people who played the games—then we’re going to have to break those rules. It was very intimidating. Hopefully people are okay with it.”</p> <p>Paragraph 7: “In this sense Riggs empathises with Zach Cregger and his film interpretation of Resident Evil levelling that “it’s impossible to please everybody” and that there will always be “a crowd that is unhappy… But I think that it’s a great way to try to get more people into the series, into the franchise, and tell a story that you want to tell.””</p> <p>Paragraph 8: “Riggs goes on to admit that adapting Resident Evil for the silver screen is no easy task, which is why he respects Cregger’s choice to go his own way and do his own thing instead of being chained to the lore.”</p> <p>Paragraph 9: There’s an image with class “vanilla-image-block” etc. That’s an <img> tag: <img decoding="async" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/wMM6nwjPcH3UxovnCziLSK.jpg" alt="House in Resident Evil 7" ...>. That’s a <img> tag; we must keep it exactly as is.</p> <p>Paragraph 10: “I’ve been looking forward to [Cregger’s RE movie] for so long,” Riggs adds. “And I mean, one of the big reasons I even made this is, you know, I was just dying to see a good, true-to-the-game live-action adaptation of Resident Evil. I cannot wait to see the new one.” The crew even tried to get their film out before Cregger’s Resident Evil but unfortunately “parts just didn’t align that way”.”</p> <p>Paragraph 11: “But Riggs does mention that “a huge reason for me even doing this in the first place is that I love being on set and collaborating with cool people”, so he’d be game for a future collaboration with Cregger sometime: “I’m all for it. Listen, my phone is open. Hit my line!””</p> <p>Paragraph 12: There are two <a> tags with ids but no href; they appear as <a id="elk-collectionwidget-fbe9638b03b6e4b505af08496151a60b"/> and <a id="elk-dca1d5fe-c7ec-11f1-a5f2-d7829fc8382b"/>. These are likely junk (no href). The rule says ignore junk text like “You may like”, “class_Picture”, ads, or share buttons — use only real article content. These are probably junk. But they are <a> tags; rule says keep <img>, <iframe>, and <a> tags exactly as they are. So we must keep them exactly as they appear, even if they are junk. But they have no href; still they are <a> tags, we keep them.</p> <p>We must produce article with </p> <h2> for headings. We need at least one heading. The article content currently has no explicit heading; we can create a relevant </p> <h2> maybe “Chandler Riggs Directs Resident Evil 7 Fan Film”. That’s a heading.</p> <p>We need to ensure we keep the <img> and <a> tags exactly as they are, in the same position. So we need to place them where they appear in original order.</p> <p>Let’s map the order:</p> <p>1. Paragraph 1 (no tags)<br /> 2. Paragraph 2 (no tags)<br /> 3. <a> tag (the IGN interview link) – appears after paragraph 2? Actually it’s inside paragraph 3: “interview with IGN”. The <a> tag is part of that sentence. So we need to keep that <a> tag exactly as is, in same position relative to text. The text preceding it: “It was absolutely an intimidating thing,” Riggs says in an <a ...>interview with IGN</a>. So we need to keep that <a> tag exactly as in original. So we need to embed that <a> tag within the paragraph text. But we must keep the same text content. The original includes the <a> tag with surrounding attributes. So we need to keep that exact <a> tag.</p> <p>4. Paragraph 4 (the continuation about Riggs decision). That includes the quote and the <a> tag again? Actually the <a> tag is already included in the quote: “It was absolutely an intimidating thing,” Riggs says in an <a ...>interview with IGN</a>. So we need to keep that <a> tag.</p> <p>5. Then there is the <span class="youtube-video-title">… – YouTube</span>. That’s a span, not a <img> or <a>, but we need to keep <img> and <a> tags exactly. The span is not required to be kept? The rule only mentions <img>, <iframe>, and <a> tags. So we can keep the span as is, but it’s not a required tag. However we must not modify it. It’s okay to keep it.</p> <p>6. Then the <img> tag (YouTube thumbnail). Keep exactly.</p> <p>7. Then the <a class="watch-on-youtube-cYrDu9GBxn8"...>Watch On</a>. Keep exactly.</p> <p>8. Paragraph 6 (the quote about storytelling). No tags.</p> <p>9. Paragraph 7 (Riggs empathises). No tags.</p> <p>10. Paragraph 8 (adapting Resident Evil). No tags.</p> <p>11. The <img> tag (house image). Keep exactly.</p> <p>12. Paragraph 10 (Riggs looking forward). No tags.</p> <p>13. Paragraph 11 (Riggs loves being on set). No tags.</p> <p>14. Two <a> tags with ids (junk). Keep exactly as they are.</p> <p>We also need to keep the <span> maybe, but it’s not required. However we must keep <img> and <a> tags exactly. The <span> is not mentioned, but we can keep it as is; it’s part of article content. The rule says ignore junk text like “You may like”, ads, share buttons — use only real article content. The <span> is not junk; it’s a title for the YouTube video. It’s part of article. So we keep it.</p> <p>Now we need to rewrite as short natural article under 500 words, using </p> <h2> for headings and </p> <p> for paragraphs. We need to incorporate the existing content, but rewrite in natural article style. However we must keep the tags exactly as they appear, meaning we cannot change the text inside the <a> tags, the <img> tags, etc. But we can rewrite surrounding paragraphs. However we must keep the <img> and <a> tags exactly as they are, in same position. So we need to embed them in the article in the same order they appear originally.</p> <p>Let’s outline the article structure:</p> <h2>Chandler Riggs Directs Resident Evil 7 Fan Film</h2> <p>Most may know Chandler Riggs from his role as Carl in The Walking Dead, but now some may know him as the director of the short film fan‑adaptation of Resident Evil 7. Lasting just 20 minutes, it’s set in the Baker’s bayou home and takes place during the garage fight scene between protagonist Ethan Winters and the infected Jack Baker. The most jarring thing about this short film isn’t the graphic fight, though, it’s Ethan’s face.</p> <p>Fans of Resident Evil 7 and Village know that Ethan Winters is a shy character, rarely showing his face except in a few moments of the Shadows of Rose DLC (and when the camera angle is right). Because both games are first‑person, there’s little need to focus on the player’s avatar, and Capcom leaned into that design.</p> <p>It was absolutely an intimidating thing,” Riggs says in an <a
