John Carpenter interested in adapting a Dead Space film

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

Game Informer recently spoke with horror director John Carpenter in an interview where he revealed that he would love to adapt DEAD SPACE into a film because it's "ready-made". My initial reaction upon hearing this news was f*ck yes! My mind immediately wandered to his brilliant sci-fi chiller THE THING which is one of my all-time favorite films and if you ask me, John Carpenter and DEAD SPACE are a match made in heaven.

"You know it's great," he told Game Informer. "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.  I would love to make Dead Space [into a film], I'll tell you that right now. That one is ready-made."

I'd be on board for a DEAD SPACE film regardless of who was at the helm — getting John Carpenter would just be icing on the cake!
