John Carpenter Is Still Eager To Direct A "DEAD SPACE" Film

If you’ve ever played the popular sci-fi horror game, Dead Space, you could tell right off the bat that the game was heavily influenced by John Carpenter’s THE THING, and rightfully so. It’s dark, moody, and down right terrifying. We think it would be awesome if Carpenter did a film for the game and so does he. In a recent interview, he reiterates that fact.

In an interview with the AV Club, Carpenter briefly discusses his work scoring the upcoming Halloween Ends, but also delves into his other passion in video games. After remarking that he liked the 2002 video game sequel to his film The Thing and the conversation led to video game-to-film adaptations.

Of course, one of the very next questions was if Carpenter was interested in directing a film adaptation of a video game, to which Carpenter responded with Dead Space. “That would make a real great movie. I could do that.” Asked which entry was his favourite, Carpenter said that “any of them” were good. “I even like the last one, the action one that nobody else liked.”

Now if this sounds familiar it’s because Carpenter expressed interest in Dead Space way back in 2012 in an interview with Game Informer. Saying at the time, “I would love to make Dead Space [into a movie], I’ll tell you that right now. That one is ready-made.”

We for one would love to see the master of horror come back to the forefront of the genre with a gory sci-fi horror title like Dead Space but as most things go, time will tell.
