Resident Evil, Monster Hunter Director Makes House of the Dead Movie

Get ready for another video game adaptation! Sega’s House of the Dead is heading to the big screen, directed by Paul WS Anderson, who will also write and produce alongside his partner, Jeremy Bolt. They have previously worked on Mortal Kombat and Monster Hunter adaptations, as well as multiple Resident Evil films.

Key Details:

• Anderson’s adaptation will be based on House of the Dead 3.
• The story follows Lisa Rogan, who is trying to rescue her father, and Daniel Curien, the son of the man who caused the mutant outbreak, dealing with the sins of the father.
• The movie will focus on the hyper-immersive and kinetic gameplay, aiming for a fast-paced terror ride similar to Zack Snyder’s approach, rather than the puzzle and trap-oriented elements of Resident Evil.
• Sega has actively been expanding their transmedia policies, with the recent success of the Sonic films.
• Production is slated for mid- to late-2025.

Anderson stated his excitement for the game, noting his enjoyment of arcade games growing up and playing House of the Dead alongside Mortal Kombat. Sega’s Head of Production, Toru Nakahara, highlighted the impact of the Sonic movie adaptations on their transmedia strategies.
