Originally released on the PlayStation in 1998, the remake will feature new character models. Meaning? Of course, the characters are going to look slightly different. Some fans are feeling the new designs, while others are not.”]
Fashion model Eduard Badaluta was the basis for Leon, which he revealed on his Instagram. He asked fans to enjoy the game!
As website Revil reported, Fashion model Jordan McEwen was the basis for Claire, which she also revealed via Instagram (though, she’s since taken the post).
Music producer Patrick Levar was scanned for Raccoon City cop Marvin Branagh.

Starring Derek Zoolander as Chris Redfield!
Oh Hell No! Wtf were they thinking? What a smug, pretentious looking twat. Leon may be a bit of a pretty boy, but not at “Zoolander school of blue-steel” levels.
