John Carpenter, the renowned director behind The Thing and Escape from New York, has expressed interest in making the live-action Dead Space film.<\/p>\n
“I would love to make Dead Space, I’ll tell you that right now,\u201d said Carpenter.<\/p>\n
“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,” the director said.<\/p>\n
The team at Visceral, who developed the Dead Space trilogy, said that John Carpenter\u2019s work and grotesque monsters in The Thing have always been an inspiration for the games.<\/p>\n
“That was a movie that we watched once or twice as a team, and we all took something away from it,\u201d said John Calhoun, Dead Space 3\u2019s producer. \u201cSome people saw it as a monster movie and they were really inspired by a monster that was grotesque and disgusting. Other people took away the fact that the human drama is what’s most tense in that movie.”<\/p>\n
