Uwe Boll is back with a bang, and this time he's not holding back! In a bold move, Boll is creating an unofficial sequel to his cult classic, 'House of the Dead'. But wait, isn't there already a new adaptation in the works by Paul W.S. Anderson? Yes, and that's where it gets intriguing!
Boll's upcoming film, titled '23 Years Later: Return to Zombie Island', promises to be a true horror fan's delight. Set more than two decades after the original, the movie will revisit the eerie island, still sealed and ready to unleash new terrors. And what's even more exciting? Some of the original cast members are returning!
The director is taking a unique approach to funding this project. He's launched an Indiegogo campaign, offering fans a chance to be part of the process. Backers will receive exclusive updates, behind-the-scenes content, and even Q&A sessions, ensuring they are involved every step of the way. The campaign emphasizes the importance of this sequel, stating that the original's legacy lives on. By using crowdfunding, Boll aims to keep the film independent and true to its roots, focusing on practical effects and the horror genre's physicality.
For those who need a refresher, 'House of the Dead' follows a group of college students who unwittingly become prey during a rave on a zombie-infested island. A stellar cast, including Jonathan Cherry, Tyron Leitso, and Clint Howard, brought the chilling story to life.
And here's a fun fact: Uwe Boll is also working on a reboot of another horror favorite, 'Alone in the Dark'.
