House of Re-Animator was shaping up to be something pretty good, then the bad news hits today that it's died a death, or is rather in suspended animation.

Jeffrey Combs announced the news ag FangoCon as it was reported through esplatter.com and AICN.

No more William H. Macy as a brought back to life President, no more reuniting the team behind the originals for the promised trilogy.

"A year ago I would have told you that looks like that's happening," he said. "At this time I'd say maybe the air has gone out of that. ... That's sleeping right now. I don't imagine that will wake up. The problem is the script we wanted to do is very topical."

It's a shame, topical or not surely the fanbase would win through with this project? Surely? I'd love to see the President coming back from the dead...or would I?
