One of the masters of horror, the American filmmaker John Carpenter, had already mentioned the possibility of bringing the Dead Space license to the big screen in an interview in 2022. The 74-year-old young man, known for the films Halloween or The Thing, is rather connoisseur of video games, and enjoys playing titles like Fallout 76 or Dead Space. In a new interview for Variety, he revives the idea of the project to adapt this last title.
I can’t believe that [l’idee de moi faisant le film] it has spread so much. I’m a huge fan of video games, so I’ve played all the games. I was looking at the new digital cameras, RED, and I mentioned that I would like to do a movie on “Dead Space”. It went around, and everyone was like, “Oh, when are you going to do it? » I won’t. I think they already have another director involved. And they didn’t ask me to do it. So until asked, I wouldn’t. But there’s a new version of the “Dead Space” video game coming out in January, and here I am.
By ensuring not to be the baton of the film, John Carpenter therefore drops a new bomb, since he says that a film is in preparation on the side of EA. For now, no other info on the horizon and no name for this director. We will therefore have to focus for the moment on the planned Dead Space Remake January 27, 2023 on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series.
