Resident Evil Movie Director Making A "Full-On Terror Ride" House Of The Dead Film

Paul W.S. Anderson, who directed or produced a half-dozen Resident Evil movies that collectively made over $1 billion and later made the poorly received Monster Hunter movie, is taking on another video game project. Anderson is making a movie based on Sega's The House of the Dead series.

The House of the Dead, which debuted in 1997, is familiar territory for Anderson, as the game is focused on an agent fighting against a group of zombies. Specifically, the movie is based on 2002's The House of the Dead 3.

Anderson told Deadline he's always been a fan of the series, dating back to the arcade days.
