Paul W.S. Anderson To Write And Direct Sega's 'The House Of The Dead'

Paul W.S. Anderson is set to write and direct The House of the Dead, an action-oriented film inspired by the renowned Sega franchise. He will produce the project in collaboration with his partner Jeremy Bolt, while Toru Nakahara from Sega will also serve as a producer, alongside Dmitri M. Johnson, Mike Goldberg, and Dan Jevons from Story Kitchen. Timothy I. Stevenson will take on the role of executive producer.

The House of the Dead first emerged in 1996 as an "on-rails shooter" video game, characterized by its rapid-paced action and horror elements, featuring a revolutionary concept of zombies that could run. In the arcade version, players assume the roles of agents from the AMS, a government agency dedicated to countering the threats posed by various conspiratorial organizations. The title reflects the bureau's name, highlighting the short life expectancies of its operatives.
