SEGA has officially announced an exciting new project: a live-action adaptation of its iconic arcade horror franchise, The House of the Dead.
The film will be directed and written by Paul W.S. Anderson; a veteran known for his previous video game adaptations. Anderson will collaborate with his longtime partner Jeremy Bolt and SEGA’s Toru Nakahara, who has successfully overseen adaptations like Sonic the Hedgehog. The production team also includes Dmitri M. Johnson, Mike Goldberg, and Dan Jevons from Story Kitchen, with Timothy I. Stevenson on board as the executive producer.
With this adaptation, Anderson embarks on his fourth foray into transforming a video game into film, following the likes of Mortal Kombat (1995), Resident Evil (2002), and Monster Hunter (2020). He aims to create an engaging, immersive experience, stating, “The audience, alongside the characters, will have just 90 minutes to escape the ultimate haunted house. Don’t blink!”
In an interview with Deadline, Anderson revealed that the movie will draw inspiration from The House of the Dead 3’s storyline, emphasizing themes of family conflict intertwined with horror and action. He elaborated on the narrative, mentioning the protagonist, Lisa Rogan, who embarks on a quest to rescue her father, alongside Daniel Curien, the son of the man responsible for a catastrophic mutant outbreak, grappling with the legacy of his father’s actions.
Originally launched in 1996 as an on-rails shooter, The House of the Dead quickly amassed a passionate fanbase, celebrated for its fast-paced gameplay and terrifying zombie-filled environment. Player’s step into the shoes of AMS agents, part of a covert organization fighting dark conspiracies that threaten humanity. The franchise has carved out a significant niche in the action-horror genre of video games, thanks to its haunting atmosphere and gripping stories.
While more details, including the cast and release date, are yet to be announced, the collaboration with SEGA signifies a commitment to expanding the reach of beloved gaming properties to new audiences. With a proven track record of successful adaptations like Sonic the Hedgehog, expectations are high for The House of the Dead to deliver both thrills and chills to fans of the franchise and newcomers alike.
