Variety reports that Electronic Arts and Temple Hill will produce a live-action adaptation of the hit survival sci-fi/horror game Dead Space. D.J. Caruso (Disturbia, Eagle Eye) is attached to direct the project. EA and Caruso are currently talking to a number of potential screenwriters, and once they set a writer and EA signs off on a creative direction, they will auction the property to studios. It's said that it will likely happen in early September.

EA is working on the second and third installments of the game, which was inspired by the sci-fi/horror flick Event Horizon from director Paul W.S. Anderson.

"Dead Space" is set in the 26th century in deep space, where an engineer who responds to a distress signal from a mining ship finds the vessel infested with monstrous creatures called Necromorphs. The creatures are human corpses, reanimated by an alien virus.
