According to the entertainment newspaper Variety, not only has "Eagle Eye" director D.J. Caruso been attached to the film adaptation of the classic game about a mining ship that has been overtaken by alien forces, but EA already has the second and third titles in the series on the docket.
Ian Fisher writes: The cycle continues as the latest popular video game destined to become a major motion picture is EA's sci-fi horror game "Dead Space". This project seems to be a bit farther along than EA's other film ventures such as "Army of Two", "Dante's Inferno", and "The Sims" as a director has already been attached to the project. D.J. Caruso (Eagle Eye) will be directing the film and this won't be his first time working on a video game project as he is also directing the Masi Oka MMO adventure film "Defender."
