Filmmaker John Carpenter hasn’t made a feature in years, but he’s still out there doing stuff such as the score for this week’s “Halloween Ends” which hits cinemas on Friday.
Promoting his work on the film recently in an interview with The AV Club, the 74-year-old Carpenter turned the discussion towards one of his passions in recent years – video games. Turns out he’s a big “Fallout” fan and recently was taken with “Horizon: Forbidden West” and the most recent “Ratchet And Clank”.
The interviewer asked him if he would ever consider writing a soundtrack for a game, to which he responded:
“If somebody asked me, I sure would. But no one’s asked!… I would love it. It would be fun, huh? Fun for me.”
He was then asked if he had ever thought about adapting a game himself for the screen to which he responded:
“The only one I can think of, and I’ve mentioned it before, is Dead Space. That would make a real great movie. I could do that.”
Asked if he had a favorite out of that series, he responded: “Well, any of them were really good. I even like the last one, the action one that nobody else liked.”
A full remake of the original “Dead Space” is arriving in stores in January.
