Ellie's role in House of the Dead 2: Dead Aim ....
There have been discussion in various forums about Ellie's role
in the House of the Dead sequel (mostly concerning how
the character of Jordan Casper could exist in the sequel after
having been killed off in the original film).
So, in an effort to clarify some of the confusion, below are excerpts from two older interviews that
discuss the sequel's overall storyline, as well as how the
character of Jordan Casper plays into the sequel.
Enjoy!

Exclusive Interview with Michael Hurst
(Director of House of the Dead 2: Dead Aim)

original. His comparison was "not to denigrate the original ‘Alien’, which is a completely amazing film, but HOTD
2 is more like James Cameron’s ‘Aliens’ as it is an action
picture; we have the Army infiltrating a college campus (filmed
at East Los Angeles College in Monterey Park) which has been
overrun by zombies, trying to find Patient X, the one person not
infected." Actress Ellie Cornell returns from the original as Jordan Casper but now she is Corporal Casper, one of the
military assigned to find this Patient X.

Interview with Mark A. Altman
(Producer/Writer of House of the Dead 2: Dead Aim)Originally
Posted at:
Creature-Corner
Our friends from Creature Corner had the chance to speak to Mark A. Altman, who produces Michael Hurst's upcoming
Zombie movie "House of the Dead 2: Dead Aim" ....
CC: What can you tell me about the plot of "House of the Dead 2: Dead Aim"? Is it a more militaristic setting, like the
video game? How does it tie-in with the previous film?
Mark Altman: The film is sort of like "Aliens" with zombies. It revolves around an AMS team that’s sent in to deal
with a spreading infection. They’re responsible for quarantining the area, searching for survivors and, of course,
killing what zombies they can while trying to retrieve a DNA sample from the original infected organism in order to
hopefully stop the spread of the infection.
