D.J. Caruso is Developing EA's "Dead Space" Adaptation Film
>> Jul 27, 2009
"Disturbia" and "Eagle Eye" director D.J. Caruso currently were working with Electronic Arts, an international well-known developer, marketer, publisher and distributor of video games, to develop a live action featured based upon the "Dead Space" game. "Dead Space" is a third-person survival horror-action video game which player takes on the role of an engineer named Isaac Clarke, who battles a polymorphic, virus-like, alien infestation which turns humans into grotesque alien monsters called "Necromorphs", on board a stricken interstellar mining ship named the USG Ishimura. EA will produce the film with Temple Hill partners Marty Bowen and Wyck Godfrey. EA has been working with Caruso to find a screenwriter and will only pitch it to studios once everyone agrees on the creative direction. Caruso has a few other projects lined up, like "Jack the Giant Killer" and "The Defenders," so it seems like "Dead Space" is one of those projects that is years away from actually happening.
Story of the game takes place in the 26th century. The USG Ishimura "Planet Cracker" ship, during the process of mining the planet of Aegis VII, sends out a distress signal to the Concordance Extraction Corporation (CEC); the CEC dispatches the USG Kellion to investigate. As the Kellion attempts to dock with the Ishimura, a malfunction occurs and the Kellion is badly damaged, and the crew begins to seek a means of return. As the crew explores the apparently abandoned Ishimura, they are attacked by grotesque monsters, who kill off all but Clarke, Hammond, and Daniels. Hammond recognizes that many of the Ishimura's systems are failing, threatening the ship due to a nearby asteroid belt, and sends Clarke around the ship to fix the core systems to keep them alive. "Dead Space" game has received positive critical and commercial reception. Xbox World 360 awarded the Xbox 360 version a 91 out of 100, stating the game was a "nail-biting experience," driven forward by a "film-worthy" script and "inspired" setting, and that it was "Rapture in space (a reference to the underwater setting of hit game "BioShock"): every bit as disturbing, just as meticulously designed and easily as believable."
