Lionsgate to Adapt Dead Island to Film

Lionsgate announced yesterday that it has acquired the film rights to zombie shooter Dead Island and will begin developing it as a feature film. There’s no word yet on a plot – because the project doesn’t even have writers at this point – but Sean Daniel (of The Mummy fame) has signed on as the producer. Expect to see it in theaters sometime in 2014.

    the ending was pretty disappointing
    they should change it
    unless they want to end it in a cliffhanger for a sequel

    So they are making a film based on a game that is based on old zombie films. So basically they are making “…of the living dead” films without having to pay for the licence to them.

    How long before George A. Romero or the copyright holders of his films sues?

    Will the film be as buggy as the game?
