Great news for zombie film fans as it looks like another high profile studio film is on the way now that Lionsgate has acquired the movie rights to Dead Island.
In a press release today, Lionsgate's Joe Drake said:
"Like the hundreds of journalists and millions of fans who were so passionate and vocal about the Dead Island trailer, we too were awestruck. This is exactly the type of property we're looking to adapt at Lionsgate - it's sophisticated, edgy, and a true elevation of a genre that we know and love. It also has built in brand recognition around the world, and franchise potential."
The Dead Island film will be produced by Sean Daniel (The Mummy, Tomstone, Dazed and Confused) and Stefan Sonnenfeld.
The game has sold over two million copies so far and is available now for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.
If the movie is half as good as this game trailer, then we're in for something great...
Mike Fleming at Deadline.com is reporting that Craig Gillespie will be taking the helm of the Pride and Prejudice and Zombies big screen adaptation.
"Gillespie has been a frontrunner on the Lionsgate project since Mike White dropped out. But several other candidates were considered, including the author and his partner, David Katzenberg. I'm told that the other aspirants have been informed that Gillespie will be getting the gig and that he'll begin negotiating soon."
Gillespie's previous directing efforts include Lars and the Real Girl, Mr. Woodcock and the upcoming remake of Fright Night.
