Grab Your Controllers Because ‘Hardcore Henry’ is Becoming a Video Game!
The upcoming POV action film Hardcore Henry is a film we’ve been championing for a while (read our review) and we absolutely cannot wait for it to hit theaters on April 8th so all of you can see what we’re talking about.
Hailed as “the world’s first POV action movie”, Hardcore Henry looks like it’s basically a fast-paced action FPS video game, one that would get loads of awards from all the gaming communities and websites. After all, a super powered human that can take loads of damage going around and fucking everything up left and right all to save his lady? It’s basically “Double Dragon” meets “Advanced Warfare” and it’s exactly the kinda game I’d want to play.
According to director Ilya Naishuller, that desire is going to become a reality. Answering a question on Twitter, Naishuller confirmed that the movie was going to be turned into a video game of some sorts, although there’s literally no other information, such as what kind of game (one would assume FPS), what platform it’ll be one, a release date, etc… Considering his answer regarding the usage of VR, I’m kinda hoping that the game has VR capabilities as that seems just 100% appropriate and perfect.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to watch the FPS scene from Doom over and over until Hardcore Henry comes out.
In case you haven’t noticed, the public domain status of beloved icons like Winnie the Pooh, Cinderella and Mickey Mouse has been wreaking havoc on the horror genre in the past couple years, with filmmakers itching to get their hands on the characters and put them into twisted situations. In the wake of two Winnie the Pooh slashers, well, Pooh is about to battle Mickey.
It’s not from the same team behind the Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey films, to be clear, but Deadline reports that Glen Douglas Packard (Pitchfork) will direct the horror movie Mickey vs. Winnie for Untouchables Entertainment and the website iHorror.
Deadline details, “The film follows two convicts in the 1920s who escape into a cursed forest only to be dragged and consumed into the depths of the dark forest’s muddy heart.
“A century later, a group of thrill-seeking friends unknowingly venture into the same woods. Their Airbnb getaway takes a horrifying turn when the convicts mutate into twisted versions of childhood icons Mickey Mouse & Winnie-The-Pooh, and emerge to terrorize them. A night of violence and gore erupts, as the group of friends battle against their now monstrous beloved childhood characters and fight to break free from the forest’s grip.
“In a horrific spectacle, Mickey and Winnie clash, painting the woods in a gruesome tableau of blood—a chilling testament to the curse’s insidious power.”
Glen Douglas Packard wrote the screenplay that he’ll be directing.
“Horror fans call for the thrill of witnessing icons like the new Aliens and Avengers sharing the screen. While licensing nightmares make such crossovers rare, Mickey vs. Winnie serves as our tribute to that thrilling fantasy,” Packard said in a statement this week.
Producer Anthony Pernicka from iHorror previews, “We’re thrilled to unveil this unique take to horror fans. The Mickey Mouse featured in our film is unlike any iteration audiences have encountered before. Our portrayal doesn’t involve characters donning basic masks. Instead, we present deeply transformed, live-action horror renditions of these iconic figures, weaving together elements of innocence and malevolence. After experiencing the intense scenes we’ve crafted, you’ll never look at Mickey the same way again.”
