The mysterious Sega movie has been confirmed, and it ain’t Sonic. Rather, it will be on Sega’s “House of the Dead” series. Here’s some facts from Dark Horizons.
House of the Dead: Mindfire Entertainment, the company behind “Free Enterprise” and “The Specials” has just inked a deal with Sega to do a feature based on its “The House of the Dead” arcade and video game. You may recall a while ago that Jesse Dylan was attached to possibly direct the project but then it had sinced fizzled with no word for almost a year on what had happened to it. Now with the very similar “Resident Evil” project finally moving out of development hell, so has this zombie computer game-turned-movie project. The film’s producer Daniel Kletzky says “Unlike previous attempts to adapt video games, we intend for ‘The House of the Dead’ to be a very hip, cutting edge film with state-of-the-art special effects and a great, contemporary soundtrack that will satisfy fans of the game as well as all moviegoers who love supernatural thrillers”. There’s also a big Internet presence planned with footage from the set, streaming prequel sequence videos, and “other interactive features”. Shooting is expected to begin in February with an aim to release it around Fall 2001. Thanks to ‘Agent M’
