The incredibly awesome Electronic Arts video game Dead Space is going to be adapted into a live action sci-fi horror film of death, and it will be directed by D.J. Caruso, who is the guy that made Eagle Eye and Disturbia, both staring Shia LaBeouf, so will he have a role in Dead Space as well? I sure hope not.
If you’ve played the video game then you know how awesome a live action movie could be. There was an animated movie made that went straight to DVD for Dead Space as well, which was pretty cool. As of right now EA and Caruso are taking pitches from potential screenwriters. Once a screenwriter is chosen they will start shopping the movie idea around to other studios.
If your not sure what Dead Space is about, it is set in the 26th century in deep space, where an engineer who responds to a distress signal from a mining ship finds the vessel infested with monstrous creatures called Necromorphs. The creatures are human corpses, reanimated by an alien virus.
I am interested to see what Caruso will bring to the project as a director. I don’t think he is a bad director at all, but I’m also not sure if this project is something he can pull off. I guess we’ll have to wait and see what he has planned when he starts talking about it.

Isn't this genre already beaten to death? Event Horizon, Alien(s), Doom, Ghost of Mars, etc.
Although it is Space horror, we haven't had a GOOD one since Event Horizon; and some people will say since Aliens. Anyways, I think Caruso's best work was Two for the Money. It was a great case study on addiction and over-confidence.
Although the title seems like it's any other space survival horror game like Doom, Aliens, Predator, Event Horizon, System Shock 2, etc, this storyline seems to have different surprising things in it that make it different like: The Marker, nectromorphs, planet cracking, interesting characters, mutilated disturbing babies in space (people who've played the game will know what I'm talking about) So far I've heard that the Dead Space saga will be made into a trilogy. Hopefully the movie will be as good as the game.
you also have to keep in mind the movie capability nowadays along with that you incorporate the story it would be a great movie also can't wait to see a Bioshock film
