John Carpenter wants to make a Dead Space film.

The veteran horror director has praised the video game franchise, saying that the film is "ready-made".

"The first game was more - I guess it was like Alien - but not quite," he told Game Informer. "It was a little different than that.

"I maintain that Dead Space would just make a great movie because you have these people coming onto an abandoned, shut-down space ship and they have to start it up and something's on board. It's just great stuff.

"I would love to make Dead Space [into a film], I'll tell you that right now. That one is ready-made."

The future of the Electronic Arts franchise is in question following the disappointing performance of Dead Space 3. EA has denied that it has cancelled Dead Space 4.

Carpenter's most recent directing project was 2010's The Ward.
