House Of Re-Animator is the fourth planned film featuring the exploits of Dr. Herbert West, a character originally created in H.P. Lovecraft's 1923 novella Herbert West, Re-Animator, and popularized in the 1985 cult classic film Re-Animator, as well as its sequels, Bride of Re-Animator and Beyond Re-Animator. The film is to be directed by Stuart Gordon (the director of the original 1985 film), from an original screenplay by Dennis Paoli.
The cast is to include Jeffrey Combs (star of the three previous Re-Animator films) and Bruce Abbott (Combs' co-star in the first two), Barbara Crampton (who played the female lead Megan Halsey in the first movie), as well as George Wendt (Cheers) and William H. Macy (Fargo and ER). It should be noted that at this point the film is in pre-production and the actors are merely attached to the project.
The plot has Herbert West being summoned to the White House to re-animate the dead vice president (Wendt). The movie will most likely keep the humorous self-aware attitude that the Re-Animator series is so famous for.
The movie is expected to be released in early 2008, but as the film is only in pre-production, the film may enter production later, the film may be re-cast, or the film may be cancelled.
