Carpenter expressed his desire to adapt the game into a film in an October 2017 interview with A.V. Club, saying: Now recently, the 74-year-old director shed some light on the progress of the project which has been in development hell for years. Speaking on Variety, Carpenter said: Despite Carpenter’s assertion that a film adaptation is in the works, the game’s publisher, Electronic Arts, has not released any official statements regarding any film projects. Carpenter hasn’t produced a film since 2010’s The Ward, a supernatural psychological horror film. Instead, he’s had his hands full on the Halloween sequels as the composer and executive producer of Halloween, Halloween Kills, and Halloween Ends. He did, however, make the suggestion that, under certain circumstances, he might consider making another film. Until the film adaptation is officially announced, fans of the popular game can look forward to the Dead Space remake, which recently got a launch trailer. Pre-ordering the Motive Studios remake ahead of its launch on January 27 will come with a digital copy of Dead Space 2.
