Overview
- Merced is set to star and will serve as an executive producer on the adaptation of SEGA’s zombie shooter.
- Paul W. S. Anderson is writing, directing, and producing, reuniting with producer Jeremy Bolt alongside SEGA’s Toru Nakahara and Story Kitchen’s Dmitri M. Johnson, Michael Lawrence Goldberg, and Timothy I. Stevenson.
- Rocket Science will begin shopping international rights at the upcoming European Film Market, with CAA Media Finance handling U.S. representation.
- The project is described as a top SEGA priority and is envisioned as the start of a tentpole franchise with an immersive, real‑time narrative approach.
- The film is in active development without an announced release date, and coverage contrasts the new effort with the poorly received 2003 adaptation.
