German filmmaker Uwe Boll isn\u2019t done with the horror action franchise\u00a0Alone in the Dark. THR<\/a> reports today that the director of the maligned 2005 feature adaptation has optioned the rights to make a new film.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0H.P. Lovecraft-inspired franchise follows private detective Edward Carnby in his fight against the undead and has launched multiple games and sold millions of units worldwide.<\/p>\n

Boll promises to adhere much closer to the games than his 2005 feature, which starred Christian Slater and Tara Reid. The story pulls from last year\u2019s Alone in the Dark<\/a>, featuring Jodie Comer and David Harbour.<\/p>\n

The 2024 game is set in the gothic American south in the 1920\u2019s, in the haunting Derceto Manor, where players take on the roles of Emily Hardwood and Edward Carnby. Together, they must unravel the disappearance of Emily\u2019s uncle, delving deep into the secrets that shroud the manor\u2019s dark past. Along with solving puzzles, you\u2019ll have to confront the terrifying entities that inhabit the manor along the way to uncover the truth.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will capture the spirit and the era of the original games and follow the story of the new game. We can\u2019t wait to reboot the franchise and cast our new Edward Carnby,\u201d Boll said.<\/p>\n

It may not stop with a new feature, either. Boll\u2019s production partner, Michael Roesch, revealed to THR that they also intend to develop a TV series.<\/p>\n

Boll\u2019s filmic output is heavily focused on video game adaptations to date. His directorial credits also include House of the Dead,\u00a0Bloodrayne,\u00a0Far Cry, and In\u00a0the Name of the King, with House of the Dead sequel Return to Zombie Island on the way. This is unrelated to the House of the Dead<\/a> reboot from Paul W.S. Anderson.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This is also the same filmmaker who challenged his online critics to a boxing match<\/a>, then pummeled them in the ring. We can thank the success of The Minecraft Movie and Sonic the Hedgehog for getting Boll back into fighting\/filmmaking shape.<\/p>\n
