Isabela Merced será la protagonista en la adaptación de House of the Dead

Isabela Merced, conocida por su papel en The Last of Us, protagonizará y producirá como ejecutiva una nueva adaptación cinematográfica del juego de arcade de Sega de 1997, The House of the Dead. El proyecto lo escriben y dirigen Paul W.S. Anderson, quien previamente dirigió las películas de Resident Evil. Esto sigue a una versión mal recibida de 2003 del juego.

El anuncio llega en medio de un auge de adaptaciones de videojuegos a la pantalla, incluida una próxima serie de televisión de Baldur's Gate. Isabela Merced asume el papel protagonista en The House of the Dead, un shooter de terror de culto lanzado originalmente en 1997. El juego, popular en arcades, contaba con mecánicas de rail-shooter y zombis de movimiento rápido innovadores, ambientado en la agencia gubernamental secreta AMS, donde los agentes combaten brotes monstruosos y conspiraciones. Paul W.S. Anderson, reconocido por dirigir la serie de películas de Resident Evil y la película Mortal Kombat de 1995, escribirá y dirigirá esta versión. Merced, quien recientemente interpretó a Hawkgirl en Superman de James Gunn y protagonizó el terror de ciencia ficción Alien: Romulus, también regresará en la temporada 3 de The Last of Us. Su participación se extiende a la producción ejecutiva de la película. Una adaptación previa en 2003 recibió fuertes críticas y tuvo un bajo rendimiento comercial. Con el creciente perfil de Merced y la experiencia de Anderson en el género, el nuevo proyecto busca capturar mejor los influyentes elementos de terror del juego. Deadline informó primero sobre la noticia del casting.
