Followers of his movies may not know that Carpenter can also be one thing of a gamer, having expressed an curiosity within the Fallout, Horizon, and Borderlands collection.

Properly, in the event you missed this element previously as I did, now we all know that Carpenter is maintaining with the most recent horror video games, as he took to Twitter (along with his aptly-chosen deal with @TheHorrorMaster) yesterday to profess his love for EA’s Useless Area remake — extra particularly, he known as it a “nice recreation!” exclamation level included. With so many video games attempting to mimic cinema, it’s actually cool to know a movie legend who sees the legitimacy and inventive worth within the interactive medium.

In an interview with AV Membership final yr, Carpenter additionally let in on the truth that he needs to make a Useless Area film. “I may try this,” he stated. Not solely do I feel you may do it, Mr. Carpenter, however I feel you’d knock it out of the park. The chilly confined indoor area of the Ishimura could be acquainted territory for him, particularly after serving to to create The Factor‘s setting of an remoted Antarctic analysis web site. I feel we’re due for one more claustrophobic area horror flick, and this franchise could be a match made in heaven with Carpenter.

We’re already in the course of a flood of gaming variations, akin to HBO’s The Final of Us collection, Amazon’s upcoming Fallout collection, and a Borderlands film. Even amidst all these cool initiatives, I feel John Carpenter’s tackle the Useless Area collection would put all of them to disgrace.
