In an exclusive chat with CINESCAPE, HOUSE OF THE DEAD scribe Mark A. Altman talked about bringing the popular Sega video game to the big screen with co-writer Dave Parker.
"I absolutely love this video game so it's really exciting to be bringing the film to the big screen," Altman (FREE ENTERPRISE, ABDUCTED) told us. "The zombie genre has been in desperate need of some new blood for over a decade now and with RESIDENT EVIL, which I'm very excited about, coming out this year and HOUSE OF THE DEAD in '03, I think zombie fans will be able to find some great entertainment to pass the time while waiting for the next [George] Romero [NIGHT OF THE LIVING] DEAD flick."
The film, directed by German music video director Uwe Boll, starts shooting in May. Altman is happy it will veer away from the PG-13 horror films of late and go for the blood and guts mavens of the genre have been missing.
"We want our film to be smart, scary and gory. No PG cop-out here," Altman teased. "We're casting now and I think Uwe's going to do a great job with the film. He's as crazy about this material as I am and has a real vision for the film."
