'House of Re-Animator' Put on the Back-burner

While chatting with Director Stuart Gordon last week about his forthcoming hit-and-run thriller Stuck, SpookyDan discovered some disheartening news about the long-delayed RE-ANIMATOR sequels. Originally planned to be a brand new trilogy, it looks like the extension to the franchise won't be happening - or at least anytime soon. Read on for the skinny on House of Re-Animator, the adventure Herbert West won't be taking.

One of the most popular gore clicks of all-time is Stuart Gordon's RE-ANIMATOR, which has swamped numerous sequels. The next film on the slate was HOUSE OF RE-ANIMATOR, which would have pit Herbert West against the President of the United States. Gordon explains that the more he thought about the idea, the more it seemed a little dated.

I wish I had good news on that but it doesn’t look like its going to happen," Gordon tells Bloody-Disgusting. "It’s Funny, I have been having second thoughts lately because I keep reading about Oliver Stone doing this movie about George W Bush, I kept thinking that its sort of old news if we do a movie about the Bush administration, by the time it comes out we will have a new president, and at that point, who cares? But maybe people are still intrigued at the bush administrations; its so audacious, maybe they will still be interested."

You can check out STUCK in theaters this Friday (May 30).

Why do it on the Bush Administration? Just make it a fictional president, then it could work.

Isn't this the upteenth time we've heard it's not going to happen (anytime soon)? It's sad that some films are never made. I was looking forward to this one the day it was announced. They'd have better luck doing this as a comic or animated movie.

Yuzna's thinking about doing the first 2 Re-Ans as comics, which I think is brill. I'd personally love to see Yuzna's "Re-Animator Unbound" idea come to life - Jeff Combs as Herbert West battling shoggoths and Cthulhu would be amazing! :D

I Would Love To Just See This Movie Happen Becuase They Said It Would Be The Whole Gang Who Worked On The First One And I Think The First One Is The Best So This Would Probly Be Good To Just NOO CGI!

what a shame. Though the only proper ending for this movie if Herbert ended up being the president?
