REDWOOD CITY, Calif. & BEVERLY HILLS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ:ERTS) and Anchor Bay Entertainment today
announced that a new Dead Space™ animated movie, Dead Space™
Aftermath will be available on January 25 to coincide with the
release of the highly anticipated videogame, Dead Space 2. Coming
from the award-winning game development team and the 2008 animated
feature production company, Dead Space Aftermath will feature
several internationally renowned animation directors that use their
unique and bold visions to explain what happened during the
first-responder mission to Aegis VII. The directors will do this through
the perspective of four survivors in this fast-paced horrifying thrill
ride that stretches the limits of time and space.
In Dead Space Aftermath, the year is 2509 and not only has Earth
lost contact with the USG Ishimura and Isaac Clarke, but also the USG
O'Bannon, which is the first responder ship sent to rescue them. Four
crew members of the O'Bannon have survived, but no one knows what
happened to the rest of the crew, what they were doing, or what secrets
they may be holding. All will be revealed...in the Aftermath!
Making a return from the first Dead Space animated feature film
is producer Joe Goyette and supervising director Mike Disa. Dead
Space Aftermath will also be produced and animated by Film Roman
("The Simpsons," "King of the Hill"), and boasts a stellar voice cast
led by Christopher Judge ("Stargate: SG-1"), Peter Woodward ("Babylon
5," "Charmed"), Graham McTavish (upcoming theatrical release of The
Hobbit), Ricardo Chavira ("Desperate Housewives") and Gwendoline Yeo
("Star Wars: The Clone Wars"). Dead Space Aftermath will be
available on Jan. 25, 2011 on Blu-ray™ for $34.99 and DVD for $26.98,
with the pre-book coming out on Dec. 29, 2010.
In Dead Space 2, engineer Isaac Clarke makes his return in a
blood-curdling new adventure on an all-new space installation known as
"The Sprawl." The lone survivor of a horrific alien infestation, Isaac
finds himself confronting a catastrophic new nightmare. Battling
dementia, Isaac will do whatever it takes to save himself and dominate
the relentless enemy onslaughts. Equipped with a new arsenal of tools to
dismember the necromorphs, Isaac faces the challenge head-on. Players
will see Isaac fight bigger, scarier and more epic battles that will
keep them on the edge of their seats.
Dead Space 2 will be available on Jan. 25, 2011 for the
PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system, Xbox 360® video game and
entertainment system and the PC. For additional information and news,
