![]() There was a Dead Space movie project kicking around Hollywood more than a decade ago. He’s keen to play EA Motive’s upcoming Dead Space remake though, saying “I’m there.” And they haven’t asked me to do it.” Carpenter didn’t go into details about who the director might be, if he even knew. I think they already have another director involved. “That just went around, and everybody said, ‘Oh, when are you gonna do it?’ I’m not gonna do it. “I was down looking at the new digital cameras, the RED, and happened to mention to them that I would love to do a ‘Dead Space’ film,” Carpenter explained.

He'd be working in a similar ballpark with Dead Space, drawing horror from the fear that the terrifying creatures are lurking around the next corner.
