Dead Island is set to make the jump from videogame to the movies, as Lionsgate picks up the film rights.. As famous for the staggering trailer that launched it as the end result, Dead Island turned out to be a decent zombie game, rather than anything particularly special. It’s still turned out to be a solid hit, mind, and with that in mind, it’s perhaps unsurprising that the movie rights have been picked up.
It’s Lionsgate who has acquired them, and Sean Daniel (who worked on Tombstone and The Mummy) is set to produce the project. There’s no further details as yet, although we’d suggest that it’s that trailer, rather than the game itself, that’s led to Lionsgate forking out to make a film of the game.
The movie is likely to reflect the plot of holidaymakers who find their idyllic island overrun with zombies. Permalink Report a problem. September 2. 01. 1 5: 4. PM, PDT. Worst. Previews. com. See recent Worst Previews news. Lionsgate has announced that it has acquired rights to develop a film based on the "Dead Island" video game, which became a viral sensation when its trailer appeared online in February. The movie will be produced by Sean Daniel (The Mummy, Tombstone).

The game centers on vacationers whose island paradise becomes a living hell when a zombie outbreak quickly spreads. Cut off from the rest of the world, the survivors have only the available materials and the island's natural "weapons" to protect themselves from the viscous and growing legions of the undead.
The trailer received over one million hits in its first 2. The Dead Island' trailer is the best trailer I have ever seen in my life," said G4. TV. "The best video game trailer.

AM, PDT. See recent Cinelinx news. After a fairly interesting and lengthy bidding war, Lionsgate has won the rights to make a movie off of the recently released video game Dead Island, and have released a statement about the film's production. Back in February of this year, the cinematic and powerful trailer for Dead Island was released. The internet quickly exploded and websites all over (for both games and movies) were quick to show it off. It was haunting, filled with emotion, story and altogether took people by surprise. It was incredibly well done, and I've yet to see any other trailer move me in such a way.
The game released earlier this month and to everyone's surprise, the trailer had very little to do with the story of the game. Reviews for the game so far have been fairly mixed with fans and haters on both sides. That's not stopping Lionsgate. In fact, their press. Permalink Report a problem. September 2. 01. 1 9: 3.

Soon after movie rights were apparently picked up, but that proved to be false. Lionsgate has now officially announced that they have optioned the rights and have entered the “early development stage” with producers attached.
The Mummy producer Sean Daniel plans to oversee the production and the below press release states the film will “focus on human emotion, family ties and non- linear storytelling.”I’ve also embedded the previous much- buzzed- about trailer below and although it seems like the game came and gone without the same level of buzz, this could prove to be a fun property. With Marc Forster‘s World War Z coming out next year and likely dealing with the same themes as above, it will be interesting to see if this one is necessary, or simply feels like a repeat.
