Global entertainment company Lionsgate recently announced that it won the rights of the popular horror video game"Dead Island" to be made into movie.
The plans to make "Dead Island" into a movie were announced by Lionsgate's co-COO and Motion Picture Group President Joe Drake.
According to Mr. Drake, the "Dead Island' movie will be like its trailer that tells the story in non-linear fashion and will focus on human emotion and family ties. "Like the hundreds of journalists and millions of fans who were so passionate and vocal about the Dead Island trailer, we too were awestruck," Mr. Drake said.
"This is exactly the type of property we're looking to adapt at Lionsgate - it's sophisticated, edgy, and a true elevation of a genre that we know and love. It also has built in brand recognition around the world, and franchise potential," he added.
