Dante's Inferno coming in 2010, animated companion movie in the works

Dante's Inferno - Image 1

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, 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.

100% of voters think this story ROCKS!

Saw my first bit about this in Gamepro and now I keep thinking to myself why do I care about a christian centric game that has non christians in hell for reasons that are related to their ways of practising their religion. It will be interesting to see if they include sections like that in the game. Really what they should have looked at would be a slightly modernized version of Dante because some sins are just out of date these days and new ones need to be added. They should Talk to Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle (Inferno, Escape From Hell and other books) and see how they adapted concepts centuries out of date and made them more understandable for a modern audience. Because who cares if in the game you meet a particular priest who sold favors to people when you could use a modern example like Anna Nichole Smith being in the level for Greed.

The original poem of Dante's La Divina Comedia is not about Christianity. Because Dante had some enemies that were originating from the catholic church his whole poem was soaked with protest against them and even against Christianity itself . The title "The Divine comedy" was at first The Divine Misery but after protest from the church he changed it to The Divine Comedy.

well all i could say is that this movie can entertain you but certainly is it full of false and outdated stuff i mean first not every christian is a catholic 2nd not every thing is solved with killing!!! i mean in the movie in order to pass the the 9 circles of hell dante is constantly killing people and deamons in hell and in a very barbaric way!!!

3rd like seriously is anyone that stupid to believe this movie really represents the christian faith come on people!! when you watch it you feel like there's no hope for you, like when once in your life you cheated or you betrayed a certain person who has been a bitch to you all his/her life you will certainly go straight to hell... none sense! every body lie cheat or even be a glutton every once in awhile if a simple and tiny sin it's all that it takes to you to go straight to hell then hey everybody we'll all be united in hell and of course the first one's would be no other than our politicians

hope you ppl see the movie and agree with me
