Uwe Boll Sets Unofficial 'House of the Dead' Follow-Up '23 Years Later' With Returning Leads

The film is an unlicensed answer to Paul W. S. Anderson's official reboot.

Overview

  • 23 Years Later — The Castle of the Dead is scheduled to start principal photography on September 5 in Germany.
  • Original House of the Dead stars Jonathan Cherry and Ona Grauer will reprise their roles in the new film.
  • The project is not an authorized Sega adaptation, so it cannot use the House of the Dead video game rights or claim an official link.
  • Boll directs from a script he co-wrote with Lutz Geiger, with Michael Roesch producing and Boris Wolffgardt as co-producer.
  • Boll contrasts his practical, gore-heavy approach with Anderson's planned reboot and says his company has also optioned THQ Nordic's Alone in the Dark for a new adaptation.
