D.J. Caruso agreed to direct a Dead Space film in 2009, though little has come out about it since then. During an interview during the German press tour for I Am Number Four, he confirmed that work is still ongoing for a Dead Space film.

“We’re working on the story,” said Caruso in a video interview. “We had one attempt of trying to do a prequel, but the story didn’t quite work out as well as we wanted it to. But if we can capture how — I don’t want to say, I guess, how scary or horrifying it would be to play that game because it’s really, really fantastic. It’d be fun to make that into a movie.”
