SEGA’s The House of the Dead is set to return to the big screen again thanks to Paul W.S. Anderson, who is helming a reboot of the franchise alongside Jeremy Bolt. Anderson should be familiar to anyone who has followed the Resident Evil movie series, as he was responsible for bringing Capcom’s zombie series to cinemas back in 2002, which spawned a successful franchise that ended with Resident Evil: The Final Chapter. SEGA’s Toru Nakahara is set to produce the House of the Dead alongside Dmitri M. Johnson, Mike Goldberg and Dan Jevons, while Timothy I. Stevenson will serve as executive producer.

I’ve loved the video game since the ’90s. Back then I was a big player of video games in arcades, which is how I happened upon Mortal Kombat. And pretty much at the same time, I was also playing a lot of House of the Dead. It’s a title I’ve always loved. The IP has grown in strength, and now it’s really cross-generational. I was one of the original players, but now I have teenage kids who also play. That is the real attraction for me, that you’ve got a cross-generational piece of IP. We’re going to base the movie on House of the Dead three, and if you know the mythology that is all about family conflict, amidst the action and scares. It’s about a woman, Lisa Rogan, who’s attempting to rescue her father. And it’s also about 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. Of course, this isn’t the first time that The House of the Dead has been adapted for the big screen. Notorious German movie make, Uwe Boll, released his own film based on the series back in 2003, which was panned by critics and gamers alike. Boll of course is known for helming a number of terrible video game to movie adaptations including Alone in the Dark, Far Cry, BloodRayne, and In The Name Of The King: A Dungeon Siege Tale.
