Back in 1982, the world experienced horror like never before. A movie called, ‘The Thing’ gave moviegoers such nightmares. They probably haven’t forgotten to this day. John Carpenter, who is commonly considered the “Master of Modern Horror”, directed this movie. In a recent interview, John has potentially leaked an upcoming movie adaptation of the renowned horror gaming franchise, Dead Space. 

Academy Award-winning director, John Carpenter, is known for his ability to put dreadful horror in his works that keeps the audience glued to the edge of their seats till the end. This similar sense of dread can be found in Visceral Games studio’s masterpiece horror game, Dead Space. On paper, it may seem that John and Dead Space are made for each other, but unfortunately, the potential movie is not going to be directed by Carpenter.

In a recent interview with Variety, John Carpenter teased a potential movie adaptation is already in the works. Talking about his contributions in the upcoming, highly-anticipated Dead Space 2, Carpenter opened up about a live-action adaptation of this horrific gaming franchise for the big screens.

However, even if this tease is actually true and there is a potential movie being developed, it won’t be directed by the legend. John said, “I’m not gonna do it. I think they already have another director involved. And they haven’t asked me to do it. So, until someone asks me, I wouldn’t do it. But there’s a new version of the Dead Space video game coming out in January, and I’m there”.

There haven’t been any official statements from the developers or the studio yet but looking at the recent boom in video game adaptations and Carpenter’s statements, the chances aren’t very low. And if the movie is not directed by Carpenter, it could be expected that the adaptation will be true to the source and will be able to deliver a gory, dreadful sci-fi movie experience.
