Resident Evil: A 2,000-Pound Creature Made the Sewer Real | Collider BTS

In this Collider interview, writer-director-producer Zach Cregger and star Austin Abrams reveal what went into making Resident Evil, from months of nocturnal filming to slippery stunt work and the logistical headache of maintaining snow between takes. Cregger explains why footprints alone could create major continuity problems and recalls having only a handful of attempts to capture a difficult cop-car rollover.

Abrams also discusses the physical risks of performing on slippery ground, while the pair remember one especially impressive practical creation: a roughly 2,000-pound, life-size puppet used for a sewer sequence. Cregger also explains how he approached the movie's music during production and how that process differed from Weapons, which was scored before filming began.

For more on the Resident Evil behind-the-scenes process, practical effects, stunt challenges, and Cregger's approach to filmmaking, watch the full conversation.
