The games producer Electronic Arts has plans to turn the survival game Dead Space into a horror film for the big screen, according to the industry magazine Variety.
The firm has brought in DJ Caruso to direct the science fiction horror film, but as of yet no writer has been assigned to the project.
The rumour is that the script could be completed as soon as September, when the company will be putting it up to the major studios.
Dead Space will be the fifth game to get this treatment following, Mass Effect, The Sims, Army Of Two and Dante’s Inferno, although only two of those titles have been taken up by a major studio.
The story follows a character on a deep space mining ship that has been overrun by aliens, known as Necromorphs.
