LionsGate has acquired the rights to make the official movie of Techland and Deep Silver’s Dead Island. This movie was inspired by the trailer below and it seems like it wasn’t just gamers that paid attention to the popular horror/action-adventure game. Joe Drake of Liongate had some interesting things to say about the game.
“Like the hundreds of journalists and millions of fans who were so passionate and vocal about theDead Island trailer, we too were awestruck.”
He continued
“This is exactly the type of property we’re looking to adapt at Lionsgate – it’s sophisticated, edgy, and a true elevation of a genre that we know and love. It also has built in brand recognition around the world, and franchise potential.”
Let’s hope that this doesn’t become another video game movie that sucks as many have in the past. We will have to wait and see as zombie movies do tend to be awesome if they are done the right way.
