John Carpenter says he'd love to make a Dead Space movie

NO NO NO... I WOULD LOVE THAT JOHN CARPENTER MADE A DEAD SPACE MOVIE! NOT OTHERWISE! :)

Dead Space is already a movie. But Dead Space the game, obviously better. So much better. But Dead Space: The game: The Movie will be about as bad as the original Dead Space movie, starring Bryan Cranston, guaranteed.

I think that he might do something interesting with it.

I have started a petition to see where it goes for the part of Isaac, considering that role will be in the movie. I thought that the person who would fit that part most is Josh Stewart. He starred horror movies; The Collector and The Collection, among other things. If you agree or just wanna check it out, then copy and paste this link. https://www.change.org/petitions/josh-stewart-be-cast-as-isaac-clarke-in-dead-space-film

I will greatly appreciate any help with this. Thank you for your time. Can't wait for the movie. Love Dead Space : )

I can't believe i've never thought of this, but he would be the absolute perfect director for this considering he did the movie the thing which served as somewhat of an inspiration for the creation of the necromorphs.

@JachAnen I'd rather someone who actually fits the part.

A 65 yr old guy who doesn't think video games are the Devil?

Now that's impressive.

If only the evil EA wasn't owner of this series, then maybe a change would exist for John to get his wish. But EA is the most evil videogame publisher on Earth. They would sneer at such a project, thinking only the current biggest names are worthy to kiss their feet.

The film would have to be set as a point in time as the first red marker was created. That way things couldn't be too screwed up should the directors prove incompetent.

I'm a big fan of scifi horror films and games, but wasn't the original Dead Space already influenced by films like The Thing and Alien/Aliens? I mean, it would be a bit redundant to make a Dead Space film now, wouldn't it? Besides videogame film adaptations have always gone wrong somehow... Though I'd be very pleasantly surprised if someone pulled it off in a respectful and awesome way...

there already was a deadspace movie, it's called alien

Make. This. Happen.

The first game is still a tense experience. Add that with a little character development of Isaac, like 2, and this could be a successful and enjoyable film tie in.

Only if we get "The Thing / Christine / Escape Form New York" Carpenter. If we get "The Ward /Ghost Of Mars / Body Bags " Carpenter, then forget it. Maybe he can reunite with Kurt Russell as well.

DO IT!!!

No, please

NO

Now that is awesome to hear. Unlike Wolfenstein and Hendrix....Carpenter and Dead Space actually belong together.

Dead Space 1 would work if they cut out the crazy boss fight planet side and keep everything on the ship.

Dead space 2 and 3 would require Pacific Rim budgets and not really be horror.

So few good horrors around now days...tis a shame.

I partly agree Mr. Carpenter but the last THING we need is yet another space horror movie. American culture is full of them and just a few of them are really that good.

the thing happened 30 years ago. Carpenter has not directed anything worthy in the last 20 years. anyway, just as when George Romero was announced as the director for the resident evil movie, it's probably just a publicity stunt to promote the movie.

this could be the spiritual successor to the Thing. I would like to see what he can do with this, even though i don't have very high hopes for this.

I look forward to it, but I don't know does anyone remember Pandorum(2009) - besides the storyline, it was very much like Dead Space to me.

Oh yeah, make it happen!!!

ah... yes...

the thing in space...

John Carpenter is DEFINTELY the perfect director for a Dead Space movie, now I understand that there could be a chance it could be a failure...But that's what they said when The Thing came out.

There is no one on this planet I would trust more to make a dead space movie than Carpenter.
