It doesn’t take much to see how Dead Space was influenced by John Carpenter’s The Thing. In fact, it’d be pretty awesome if Carpenter himself directed an adaptation of Dead Space. John Carpenter once again reiterated that he thinks so.
In an interview with the AV Club, Carpenter briefly discusses his work scoring the upcoming Halloween Ends, but also delves into his other passion in video games. After remarking that he liked the 2002 video game sequel to his film (as do we), the conversation lead to video game to film adaptations.
Of course, one of the very next questions was if Carpenter was interested in directing a film adaptation of a video game, to which Carpenter responded with Dead Space. “That would make a real great movie. I could do that.” Asked which entry was his favourite, Carpenter said that “any of them” were good. “I even like the last one, the action one that nobody else liked.”
Carpenter was asked a similar question about Dead Space almost 10 years ago in an interview with Game Informer. Saying at the time, “I would love to make Dead Space [into a movie], I’ll tell you that right now. That one is ready-made.”
Meanwhile, the final film in David Gordon Green‘s sequel trilogy, Halloween Ends, arrives in theatres and on Peacock on October 14th. The upcoming Dead Space remake launches January 27, 2023 for PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series.
