Paul Ws Anderson promises a “very, very frightening” adaptation of the house of the dead

Paul Ws Anderson He is returning to the world of horror while he is preparing to face The house of the dead. Over 20 years later Uwe BollAmply ancestor adaptation, Anderson (Event Horizon, Resident Evil, Mortal Kombat) is destined to bring a fresh and terrifying vision of the iconic Zombie di SEGA shooter.

Anderson, who is writing and directing the project, recently sat with variety and has provided an update on his vision for the film. His goal for the film is to make him as intense and engaging as possible.

“It will be engaging and very, very frightening,” says Anderson. “Everything will go in real time, so she reflects the experience of playing the video game. The only time it stops is when the game beats or die. It will be the only way out. “

In the meantime, the director has guided several video games films, he insists that this will be a different type of beast. “I really intend to push the envelope on this. It will be something different for me. “

Anderson also confirmed that the script is almost complete and the plan is to start turning in the fourth quarter of this year.

Unlike the original House of the dead game, Anderson’s adaptation will focus specifically The house of the dead 3 (2002), which takes place 20 years after the previous item.

The story follows Lisa Rogan AND Agent G As they are looking for Lisa’s disappeared father, just to stumble on a new outbreak of zombies.

Anderson previously spoke about the game saying: “I loved the video game since the 90s. At the time I was a great player of arcades in arcades, and that’s how I came across Mortal Kombat. And practically at the same time, I was also playing a lot of the house of the dead.

“It’s a title I’ve always loved. The IP has grown in force, and is now really cross. I was one of the original players, but now I also have teenagers playing. This is the real attraction for me, that you have a piece of cross -crossing.

“We will base the film in House of the Dead Three, and if you know the mythology that concerns family conflict, between action and fear. It concerns a woman, Lisa Rogan, who is trying to save her father.

“And it is also Daniel Cerien, who is the son of the man who first caused this mutant and who has to do with his father’s sins.

When he talks about his approach to the making of the film, the director said: “My approach will be to reflect what this hyper-immersive and kinetic video game is, which is why Zack Snyder took these creatures and made them quickly. This is a full terror ride.

“It is different from what we did with Resident Evil, where there were many traps, puzzles and things to understand. House of the Dead is in the heart a game shooter with light subway, so it drags you directly into the middle of the action.

“I will make a film that reflects the approach and takes place in real time, dragging the audience directly into the action. It will not be a little slow from a lot of history that could exclude people who don’t know anything about House of the Dead.

“Everyone will be on the same page. Everyone will be sucked into directly in the action and will learn the characters and the plot, since they have 90 minutes to escape substantially to the most extreme infested house in which you have ever been. “

As a longtime fans of the franchise, I am cuurious to see what Anderson does with this, even if I am not really a fan of his previous films. Maybe he will surprise me, though.

Stay tuned for further updates as the production is prepared.
