According to Deadline, there is a new House of the Dead movie in the works with Paul W.S. Anderson (Mortal Kombat, Resident Evil) writing and directing the upcoming film. Anderson will produce alongside his partner Jeremy Bolt, Sega’s Toru Nakahara will produce along with Story Kitchen’s Dmitri M. Johnson, Mike Goldberg and Dan Jevons. Timothy I. Stevenson will be executive producer.
The plot of the film will be based on the third installment in the franchise, The House of the Dead III, with Lisa Rogan in search of her father and Daniel Curien, who’s the son of the man who caused this mutant outbreak in the first place and who has to deal with the sins of the father. The film will take place in an abandoned research facility where these creatures were hatched, before, as Anderson quipped, “the inmates took over the asylum.” The filmmakers say these inmates are way more capable killers than zombies.
They will pitch the project immediately, with plans to be in production by mid- to late-2025. Anderson is repped by Ken Kamins at Key Creatives & Alexander Lea at Wiggin, Bolt by Alexander Lea at Wiggin LLP, and Story Kitchen by WME and Pryor Cashman. Toru Nakahara negotiated on behalf of Sega. Check out concept art for the film in the next section of the article.
I’m probably one of the very few that actually enjoyed the resident evil films for what they are.(And this is coming from a guy who’s been a fan of the games since playing the original re4 and the gamecube remake of the first re on the wii back in the day.) House of the dead is goofy as all hell Anyway. so I’ll definitely be a seeing this if and when it gets made. Besides, It can’t be as bad as whatever the heck Uwe boll cooked up back in the day. Paul has always been my favorite guilty pleasure filmmaker anyway. The first resident evil film, Avp, and the first mortal kombat were actually pretty for what they are. Anyway I’m done rambling. you all have a very spooky,happy, but very safe Halloween 🎃 🦔🦊
I meant to say pretty good. not pretty. oops. my bad
