occhisulcinema.it had the chance to site down with director/producer Brian Yuzna and talk about his plans for the 'Re-Animator' franchise. Some of you may have heard about a rumored project called 'House of Re-Animator'. Well, it looks like there will be two additional movies to form an all new 'Re-Animator' Trilogy. Here is what Yuzna had to say about the new projects:


['House of Re-Animator', which has Herbert] West being called to the White House to re-animate the deceased vice president. Of course, by the time the dust settles, even the president has been reanimated and West is the power behind the throne. The second would be 'Re-Animator Unbound!' West would have his own fiefdom amidst a war zone. There his experiments take him directly in conflict with religion and face to face with the Old Ones of Lovecraftian lore. The final episode would be 'Re-Animator Begins' That final chapter would find West reconnecting with his past—and the family of his old mentor, Professor Gruber—after finding his mind erased.


Sounds Good enough to us. The first movie will reunite Combs and the director of the first ever 'Re-Animator' Bruce Abbott. Yuzna is aiming for a higher budget this time, so that the financing will take it's time. They are anticipating a 2008 release. William H. Macy is said to play the part of the US President (yeah, good luck with that).
