Hope you like video game adaptations, because we have yet another one on the horizon. Sega’s The House of the Dead is set for the big screen, with Paul WS Anderson to write and direct.
Anderson will also serve as a producer, alongside his partner Jeremy Bolt. You may recognise Anderson and Bolt’s names. The duo have also worked on adaptations for the likes of Mortal Kombat (1995) and Monster Hunter (2020), as well as multiple Resident Evil films.
In addition, Sega’s Toru Nakahara will produce along with Story Kitchen’s Dmitri M Johnson, Mike Goldberg and Dan Jevons. Executive producer duties are being led by Timothy I. Stevenson.
“I’ve loved the video game since the ’90s,” Anderson told Deadline. “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.”
