Dead Island heading to the big screen for movie adaptation

August 2, 2014 by Gary Collinson

Occupant Entertainment and Deep Silver, the video game publishing arm of Koch Media, have announced that they are partnering up for a movie adaptation of the zombie video game franchise Dead Island, with a view to fast-tracking the project for production early next year.

Set on a tropical island resort, Dead Island revolves around a Zombie outbreak and has become one of the most-successful new video game IP’s in the last few years, selling over 8 million copies worldwide across all platforms.

“Deep Silver has created a highly successful game franchise based on very cinematic, widely viewed and well received trailers, which provide a great template for launching a film franchise with a distinctive and commercial take on the zombie apocalypse”, says Occupant partners Joe Neurauter and Felipe Marino.

“The Dead Island universe offers a rich and unique setting that can expand beyond the pure gaming experience. We are very much looking forward to seeing Dead Island open up to new audiences and showing off the fun everybody at Deep Silver has with this brand”, says Dr. Klemens Kundratitz, CEO Koch Media.
