Hm, true, but if he were to put more effort and budget into Castle of the Dead, the development may take longer. After all, on returntozombieisland.com, he states that he has a six-day shoot at Burgruine Münzenberg on September this year.
Unfortunately the budget difference is too high.
The House of the Dead (2003) movie had a production budget of
$12 million.
In contrast, "23 Years Later — The Castle of the Dead" had an estimated budget of
under $1 million.
On the other note, Paul W.S. Anderson's upcoming, official reboot of the House of the Dead video game has much much larger budget ... $50 million.
