A report by Variety said that there was more than a possibility that the game Dead Rising would take to the big screen. It is to be produced by Legendary Pictures (The Dark Knight, Inception, The Hangover) and would be the first project the studio’s Legendary Digital Media department will undertake.
If the movie is anything close to this, then we’d be pretty excited about it!
Dead Rising will initially be released on Sony’s Crackle service, which offers viewers free, ad-supported video content in North America (its UK service closed down on April 1).
The film would be distributed worldwide by Content Media and will be released on Video On Demand, DVD and TV.
The report goes on the mention that Lorenzo di Bonaventura will executive produce Dead Rising, while writing duties will be handled by Tim Carter, who produced the web series Mortal Kombat: Legacy.
There are other movies that are taking to the screen, like Assassin’s Creed and Warcraft, we’ll keep you updated on all these movies so stay tuned.
