According to an exclusive report by foreign media giantfreakinrobot, the well-known director James Wan is expected to direct the film adaptation of EA's sci-fi horror game "Dead Space".

Ten years ago, in 2013, Carpenter wanted to direct the Dead Space movie.

The Dead Space movie will be based on the 2008 survival horror game, set in the 26th century, a remake of which was released in January this year and received "particularly positive reviews" from players.

It is worth mentioning that the trailer for Dead Space at E3 in 2008 was directed by James Wan, the director of Saw.
