Electronic Arts knows the secret to grabbing attention in the maelstrom of media released in the days leading up to E3 -- get a big shot director of actual motion pictures to compose a trailer for your title using in-game footage. Splatter film enthusiasts may recognize the big shot in question: James Wan, the twisted mind behind the love-them-or-hate-them Saw films. Wan is credited on GameTrailers as the creator of the newest Dead Space trailer (conveniently placed after the jump), though puzzlingly, his name is left out of the actual video.
Wan's trailer is just as unsettling as his films, and is probably the best piece of media we've seen from EA's space-themed screamer -- though the release date of October 21 revealed at the trailer's conclusion, is a bit earlier (and somewhat less appropriate) than the Halloween launch announced in February. Either way, we can't wait for next week's chance to get our dismembered hands on Dead Space once again.
