After loads of rumors on gaming and movie blogs, Deep Silver responded to rumors with an official statement regarding the licenses behind new video game IP ‘Dead Island. While many had reported that the movie rights had been sold already, Deep Silver revealed that no such thing happened.
Although there has been massive interest in the IP, no decisions have been made yet.
“We are looking for quality above all else for a movie based on Dead Island. We want to do it the right way as film realizations of games (or vice versa) usually fail to deliver what the fans were looking for. We will not go down this route with Dead Island. Deep Silver profoundly believes in the quality and value of its Dead Island IP,” says Klemens Kundratitz, CEO of Deep Silver’s parent company Koch Media. “We would therefore be honored to work with someone who already has a proven track record with blockbuster movies.”
Stay tuned for future announcements.
