Personal Note: So its an Anime right now. I hope the original musical fanfare is in there...
And from Dark Horizons (http.gif)
The House of the Dead: Director Uwe Bowell talked juicy technical details about this zombie flick to JoBlo.Com and it sounds pretty darn good. The most complex visual effect is "a Matrix-like set-up with over 300 cameras for a fighting scene", whilst gore will be very apparent - "We have over 15 exploding heads, people are cut in half or fighting headless. We basically show what "Resident Evil" didn’t show". The film is aiming for a wide release, though what about the rating? "R-rated- but the DVD will be the Director's Cut in NC-17 or X-format". Expect it out early-mid 2003. Thanks to 'BG'.
Good to hear the folks making the HotD movie have their heart in the right place, which, considering it's a zombie film, is to have it and various other bodily organs splattered all over the screen. But while I know that trailer is a super-preliminary teaser I'm already worried about the film. The clip features people hopping about on what appears to be hidden trampolines, a girl kicking a guy in a rubbery looking zombie suit in the head, and -a bit that's almost obligatory in movies nowadays- a shot where everybody dives in unison away from a tunnel that's exploding behind them. According to IMDB the film is about "A group of teens arrive on an island for a rave--only to discover the island has been taken over by zombies" and the biggest name actor is Clint Howard. Perhaps they will be able to pull off a good zombie flick out of this but something tells me that HotD fans aren't going to be sleeping outside the theater for tickets like Star Wars fanatics do.
