Interest in the Dead Island IP for a movie was reportedly high after the popular trailer for the game debuted. Despite rumors that a deal had been struck for the rights, Techland international brand manager Blazej Krakowiak indicates this is not the case.
“Our publisher (Deep Silver) is talking to different and pretty high profile people about a possible movie,” said Krakowiak. “But nothing has happened yet. There’s nothing definitive to say.”
Krakowiak noted that the attention the game has gotten has been humbling. “We knew we had a good trailer, that’s why we worked on it,” he said. “But of course we were overwhelmed and surprised by the extent of the reaction. The response has been crushing. It’s a little scary to face that sort of hype.”
