William H. Macy enters HOUSE OF RE-ANIMATOR

Halcyon International Pictures has officially announced that William H. Macy will star as the President of the United States in HOUSE OF RE-ANIMATOR. The sequel, which reunites the original RE-ANIMATOR team (director Stuart Gordon, producer Brian Yuzna, writer Dennis Paoli and lead actor Jeffrey Combs), focuses on a Bush-like president who dies in office. His staff covertly brings in Dr. Herbert West to reanimate the Commander in Chief, and the expected chaos ensues. Yuzna plans on producing a new trilogy of RE-ANIMATOR films with Halcyon partners Ray Haboush and Ted Chalmers.

Macy toplined the Coen Brothers’ hit FARGO and the well-reviewed dark drama THE COOLER; his genre credits include JURASSIC PARK III, the PSYCHO remake and TNT’s upcoming NIGHTMARES & DREAMSCAPES: FROM THE STORIES OF STEPHEN KING.

Fans can ask Gordon about HOUSE OF RE-ANIMATOR during the director’s talk at the next FANGORIA Weekend of Horrors convention in Burbank, June 2-4. See www.creationent.com for more details.
