Dante’s Inferno coming in 2010, animated companion movie in the works
Grab your nearest tour guide (in this case, it’d be Virgil the poet) because we’re heading straight to hell, mates. Originally planned for this year, Dante’s Inferno is now being scheduled for a 2010 release on the PS3, Xbox 360, and PC. What’s more is that, we now also hear that they’re planning to come up with a feature-length animated movie to compliment the story in the game. Yes, I know what you’re thinking: just like what happened to Dead Space. Is that a good thing or a bad thing? Hmm…

What’s more is that, coupled in Electronic Arts‘ press release, we now also hear that they’re planning to come up with a feature-length animated movie to compliment the story in the game. Yes, I know what you’re thinking: just like what happened to Dead Space.
Fact of the matter is, the Dante’s Inferno animated movie will be produced by Joe Goyette, that’s the same guy who did Dead Space: Downfall (a movie I wasn’t really fond of, but still found, at the very least, slightly entertaining).
There’s also Victor Cook (The Spectacular Spider-Man, Hellboy Animated: Blood & Iron) who will be directing, and Brandon Auman (Iron Man: Armored Adventures) on writing.
From what we could gather of the Dante’s Inferno movie, it’s going to “explore aspects of the poem that the game does not, and will provide more insight into the characters and the unique story adaptation that the game has established.” Typical of any game-companion movies, or other such media.
Hah. I just hope they don’t botch up the epic.
