Like the recent trilogy, Jurassic World Rebirth will keep up the tradition of introducing a brand-new dinosaur that rivals the classic T-Rex in scale. This time, audiences will be introduced to a truly monstrous creature that will be a trip to look at, and absolutely terrifying for those who embark on the journey to an abandoned research facility in Jurassic World Rebirth.
During an interview with Empire Magazine, Jurassic World Rebirth director Gareth Edwards discussed the introduction of the Distortus Rex, also known as the “D-Rex.” Described as a dinosaur with six limbs and “teeth galore,” the D-Rex is a mishmash of DNA and presumably failed experiments. The creature, which resembles a Rancor from the Star Wars franchise, was seen in the official trailer for the film. “It’s kind of like if the T-Rex was designed by H.R. Giger, and then that whole thing had sex with a Rancor,” Edwards plainly stated. And that’s the whole point, as its appearance hints at a truly grotesque and possibly tragic origin for the mutant creation.
“It’s a design that I was really happy with. I’d like to buy the toy of it when it comes out. It’s as if another animal has been wrapped around the T-Rex. Gareth wanted us to feel sorry for it as well as terrified, because its deformities have caused it some pain, and there’s an encumbrance to it.”
More to come.
