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)

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.
