Dead Island Movie in Development

Phisix · Feb 19, 2011

So it seems along with the game there will be a film version.

Just days after its trailer became a viral sensation comes word that the upcoming video game Dead Island is going to get the Hollywood treatment.

The Sean Daniel Company and Union Entertainment have reportedly joined forces to bring the Deep Silver-Techland game to the screen.

Variety claims the producers "have started searching for a writer and are currently in discussions with studios and film financiers about making the movie."

And according to Deadline, "Studios and agencies are all over them, suggesting talent packages and story lines to try and make a screen deal. That will likely happen in the next week or so. The film will will follow a Memento-like storyline, even though the video game does not."
