"Part of the inspiration for the look of this guy comes from the book Blood Meridian. There's a character called the Judge in that book who's described as a 7-foot-tall, maybe albino, hairless man, and I love the image of that guy. So this is a nod to one of my favorite books of all time."
"Cregger said his Resident Evil movie won't feature a 'Nemesis' type character that is often seen in the games, but the giant sewer man is, in a way, his nod to the idea."
"Cregger also said he doesn't view Resident Evil as a zombie film, as there are only a handful of zombie scenes. Instead, it's focused on the 'weird creature stuff' that comes from how the franchise's T-Virus mutates the human body."
The trailer for the Resident Evil movie directed by Zach Cregger showcases a shift from traditional zombie horror to a focus on monstrous creatures. The film's protagonist, Bryan, encounters a giant, pale man reminiscent of Baron Harkonnen from Dune. Cregger cites Blood Meridian's Judge as a key inspiration for this character's design. The film will not include a typical 'Nemesis' character and emphasizes the bizarre mutations caused by the T-Virus, moving away from the zombie-centric narrative of the games.
