According to insider MyTimeToShineHello, a film adaptation of the iconic survival horror game Dead Space is finally gaining traction.

Since 2010, multiple attempts have been made to bring Dead Space to cinemas. D.J. Caruso was first attached to the film, with plans to create a narrative prequel. Over the years, the project stalled and shifted, gaining interest from famed horror director John Carpenter, who remained hopeful until EA chose another filmmaker.

Wan’s reported involvement marks a major step forward. His talent for crafting chilling stories fits Dead Space's haunting, sci-fi world perfectly. Fans are eager to see how the claustrophobic horror of the Ishimura translates to the big screen.

The original game follows Isaac Clarke as he battles mutated horrors known as Necromorphs aboard a derelict spaceship. With deep lore and psychological dread, Dead Space remains a cult classic, poised for a terrifying cinematic debut.
