"After we'd been shooting for about a month, the studio wasn't happy with what they were seeing, so they hired Wolfgang Petersen as the new director. ... We reset and resculpted with a new design concept, although it wasn't all that different from Drac's original look, which I always thought was cool. He looked more like an iguana, and dark grey, peppered with small, iridescent patches."
