Earlier this month, we announced that Universal Pictures was making head in their live-action adaptation of Dante’s Inferno when the studio hired Dan Harris (X-Men 2, Superman Returns) to write the script. If you’re a fan, here’s another treat for you.
Bloody Disgusting is reporting that Dante’s Inferno is being adapted yet again—into an animated feature—by Electronic Arts and Starz Media, the partners that brought you Dead Space: Downfall.
Let’s be clear, each project is independent from the other, but both are based on the videogame due in 2010, which ultimately is derived from the classic poem (otherwise known as The Divine Comedy).
The animated feature will mirror the game’s plot and follow Dante’s journey through the nine circles of Hell—limbo, lust, gluttony, greed, anger, heresy, violence, fraud and treachery—in search of his true love, Beatrice.
Following in Dead Space’s route, Dante’s Inferno will be produced by Film Roman and distributed by Anchor Bay (domestic) and Starz (International) as a companion piece when the game bows on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
Aside from this, we know that the studios are currently commissioning separate anime studios to be built to create the nine circles of Hell. Be sure to keep it here for updates!
The animated movie was amazing except for the fact that it was rendered with 4 different artists. but even though they followed the video game i found that one solid visual of dante woud be acceptable not 4
