Legendary film maker John Carpenter, the man behind horror classics such as The Thing and Escape From New York, has expressed his enthusiasm for a Dead Space film adaptation.
The Dead Space franchise is so popular that it has reached beyond the three video games into novels, comic books and animated feature films and is seemed poised for a feature film now. Carpenter says he would love to see the series adapted for film and claims its story is "ready-made."
"You know it's great," Carpenter says during an interview with Game Informer (via Videogamer). "The first game was more - I guess it was like Alien - but not quite. It was a little different than that. I maintain that Dead Space would just make a great movie because you have these people coming onto an abandoned, shut-down space ship and they have to start it up and something's on board. It's just great stuff," he says, adding, "I would love to make Dead Space [into a film], I'll tell you that right now. That one is ready-made."
However, the future of Dead Space remains uncertain as Dead Space 3 failed to live up to EA's sales expectations, selling only 605,000 copies in Feb.
