Resident Evil creator Shinji Mikami is ‘reunited’ with Chris Redfield

Resident Evil creator Shinji Mikami is ‘reunited’ with Chris Redfield

There’s the cartoonishly muscular Chris Redfield from Resident Evil 5, and the towering version from RE Village, but for me, the STARS frontman exists in one form and one form only – the slick-haired, Zippo-owning live-action Chris Redfield from the original survival horror game. It’s almost 30 years since Shinji Mikami, who would later direct Resident Evil 4 and The Evil Within, introduced us to the world of Umbrella, and the iconic characters from RE1 have undergone a lot of changes since. But even now, with whispers on the wind of Resident Evil 9 or maybe a Code Veronica remake, the herald of housebound horror hasn’t forgotten his original cast – in a seriously wonderful new video, the actors behind Chris Redfield, Barry Burton, and Rebecca Chambers pay tribute to Mikami-san.
