Event Horizon Gets Remake Via Dead Space Movie

July 27, 2009 Almost News 2 Comments

Dead_Space_3lSince we’re on the topic of game-based movie adaptations (Halo!), EA’s enjoyable and visually excellent Dead Space is warming up for a film treatment itself. Of course, this will be more of a remake, since Dead Space owes almost all of its story/mood to Event Horizon, replacing Satan and his minions with The Thing‘s mutating body horror and Alien‘s blue collar space gloom.

Eagle Eye/Disturbia‘s D.J. Caruso is attached to direct, which bodes well. The guy’s capable and stylish and– until the end of Eagle Eye reveals a movie-busting twist which retroactively demolishes the probability of every circumstance that’s lead up to it– directed a pretty exciting thriller. Bear in mind this news doesn’t mean Dead Space is a go or even close to being greenlit– the script still has to be developed and shopped to studios. But it seems a pretty easy sell if EA gets their space engineers in a row.

And as I thoroughly enjoyed the game and am always game for variant sci-fi of all stripes, I’m all for it.

I relish the truth that I don’t always see eye-to-eye with most critics and [...]

Movie Review: The Twilight Saga: Eclipse (B)

By ANDY MORGAN Making fun of Twilight fans and bemoaning Stephanie Meyer’s novels and the subsequent movies is almost as easy as drumming up sarcastic jabs about Lindsey Lohan, Paris Hilton or Miley Cyrus. There’s no effort required. It’s easy. And it’s also out of control. It’s almost as popular to dump on the vampire-werewolf [...]

Movie Review: The Last Airbender (C-)

By DAN VINTON If there’s one thing The Last Airbender does well, it proves any mystique surrounding M. Night Shaymalan is gone. With this coffin-bound nail, all residual goodwill The Sixth Sense director retained from followup successes like Unbreakable, Signs and even the creepy but fatally flawed The Village has been throttled by his is [...]
