John Carpenter says a Dead Space movie is in the works

Yes, please.

Horror legend John Carpenter has told Variety that a Dead Space movie is in the works.

The iconic filmmaker, responsible for such works as Halloween, The Thing, Escape from New York and many more, told the outlet that he was considered as the Dead Space film’s director.

“I’m a big video game fan, so I played all the games. I was down looking at the new digital cameras, the RED, and happened to mention to them that I would love to do a Dead Space film. That just went around, and everybody said, ‘Oh, when are you gonna do it?,” Carpenter said.

“I think they already have another director involved,” he continued. “And they haven’t asked me to do it. So until someone asks me, I wouldn’t do it.”

While a Dead Space movie hasn’t been confirmed by EA, the Dead Space remake is planned for a release on current-gen consoles and PC later this month.
