So perfect in fact that Arkane used the same idea with the song “ Drunken Sailor” (or “Drunken Whaler”, in this case) for the first Dishonored game.Īnd it’s still funny how the contrast in tone between peaceful music and chaotic visuals always works to disturb viewers. That, and the use of the alternate darker lyrics is perfect. Whether or not the idea to use the nursery rhyme in the Dead Space trailer came from when it was used in the teaser for Alien Resurrection doesn’t really matter much, as the song juxtaposing the carnage aboard the Ishimura is still chillingly replicated here in the 2023 version of “Lullaby”.


And while we wait on EA to decide how to capitalize on the remake’s success, Motive Studio went back to the well again and decided to remake the original Dead Space “Lullaby” trailer using the 2023 game. I wouldn’t put any money down on the movie happening just yet.So, Motive Studio’s Dead Space remake is a goodun. The Dead Space remake launches on Steam and the Epic Games Store on January 27th for £50/$60/€60. Caruso still hasn’t made a Dead Space movie, but did manage to squeeze I Am Number Four and XXX: Return Of Xander Cage in during the 2010s. A few months before Dead Space 2 launched, Caruso said that the concept behind his take on sci-fi horror series was “almost a prequel” to the first game. Just a year after the original game was released in 2008, Disturbia director DJ Caruso was attached and the movie in its very early stages. There was a Dead Space movie project kicking around Hollywood more than a decade ago. He’s keen to play EA Motive’s upcoming Dead Space remake though, saying “I’m there.” And they haven’t asked me to do it.” Carpenter didn’t go into details about who the director might be, if he even knew. I think they already have another director involved. “That just went around, and everybody said, ‘Oh, when are you gonna do it?’ I’m not gonna do it. “I was down looking at the new digital cameras, the RED, and happened to mention to them that I would love to do a ‘Dead Space’ film,” Carpenter explained. Considering Carpenter hasn’t made a film in 13 years it does seem a bit of a wild idea, but then the director is both a horror auteur and video game fan.ĮA Motive's Dead Space remake floats onto PC on January 27th.

Talking to Variety about his career ahead of his 75th birthday, Carpenter was asked about rumours he could be helming a non-interactive take on Dead Space.

Horror movie maestro John Carpenter has ‘fessed up that he’s not directing a movie version of Dead Space, but suggests there’s another director attached to a possible big-screen adaptation.
