Zombie Game "Dead Island" to be Developed into a Terrorific Film

Deep Silver has sold film rights for the "Dead Island" game franchise. Occupant Entertainment will develop a zombie based film, based on Deep Silver's trailer for the original game. Though, a film deal was previously struck between Deep Silver and Lionsgate, back in 2011; a film was never started, nor completed. These two production houses will hope to bring life to a gaming series, which involves a remote island swamped with the undead.

Story details are still in the development stages. However, the film will begin with the family seen in the original trailer for "Dead Island" (seen below). The plotline will involve these characters and the many dangers found on a popular vacation spot.

Release Date: TBA.

Developer: Occupant Entertainment.

Cast: TBA.

The original trailer for the "Dead Island" game is below:



*“Deep Silver has created a highly successful game franchise based on very cinematic, widely viewed and well received trailers, which provide a great template for launching a film franchise with a distinctive and commercial take on the zombie apocalypse,” said Occupant partners Joe Neurauter and Felipe Marino.
