Alfie Williams’ second major movie, 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple<\/a>, isn’t even out in US theaters yet, but that hasn’t stopped him from thinking about potential future projects.<\/p>\n

In a new interview with IGN, the actor, who GamesRadar+ named best newcomer of 2025<\/a>, flagged that he’s been playing a lot of Dead Space recently \u2013 and that he’d be keen to star in a film adaptation one day. Hardly a far-fetched dream these days, given how Hollywood is leaning into video games<\/a> as a serious source of inspiration…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“I’ve been sticking to the classics,” the youngster said, as IGN’s reporter cheekily suggested: “We can get a message out to the IGN community to try and push for it.”<\/p>\n

“Yeah!” Williams replied with a smile.<\/p>\n

In a separate chat, the 15-year-old actor told Wonderland magazine<\/a> that he’d want to play protagonist Isaac Clarke “if they ever decide to make a live-action version” of Dead Space. “But I would have to wait a while, since the character is like 40 years old!”<\/p>\n

He went on to add: “One day, I would absolutely love to be in a Western. I just think it would be amazing. My favourite Western is Young Guns and I would love to play Billy the Kid if they ever made a remake of that film.”<\/p>\n

First released in 2008, before being remade in 2023<\/a>, Electronic Arts<\/a>‘ Dead Space follows engineer Isaac Clarke as he investigates the downed USG Ishimura after receiving a message from his girlfriend Nicole. Rumor has it that the mining ship went radio-silent after its crew was consumed by a virus, having recently discovered a mysterious alien artifact on the planet Aegis VII. As he searches the vessel’s wreckage, Isaac begins to uncover dark political secrets and a conspiracy theory-believing cult \u2013 all while fighting off Necromorphs, the reanimated corpses of those formerly aboard the Ishimura.<\/p>\n
