An animated film based on EA s just-released videogame Dante’s Inferno is hitting stores on DVD and Blu-ray next month, reports LA Times. The publisher paired with Film Roman Inc. to produce the film, titled Dante s Inferno: An Animated Epic, as a parallel project while developer Visceral Games was making the game. LA Times says the work draws directly from EA’s game and not the classic source material, describing it as something closer to a multimedia bundling than a traditional adaptation. The animation uses various art styles for depicting the circles of hell, with EA going as far as enlisting a different studio for each segment. LA Times points out that the IP EA’s, not Dante Alighieri’s has now branched into animation, a comic book published by DC Comics-owned Wildstrom, and a film adaptation optioned by Universal Pictures.
