Dexter To Become A Video Game

The life and adventures of the dark serial killer Dexter Morgan from the Showtime’s “Dexter” will be the subject of a new video game produced by Marc Ecko Entertainment.

In a press statement, Marc Ecko Entertainment said it will create the game in close collaboration with Showtime Networks to guarantee its faithfulness to the spirit of the show.

In the “Dexter” TV show Michael C. Hall, of “Six Feet Under” fame, stars as a likeable man who sublimates his serial killer drive (or at least tries to) with a job as a blood pattern analyst. The Miami Police Dept. forensics expert only kills criminals who cannot be caught otherwise in the justice system.

He was orphaned at three and was adopted by a Miami police officer, Harry Morgan, who saw that Dexter had sociopathic tendencies but never got him professional help. Instead he taught the boy to use his passion for killing in order to murder people, who “deserve it,” who slipped the justice system.

Dexter taught to fake normality and keep up with the appearance. He is liked by most of his colleagues, his girlfriend, Rita, and her children. The show is currently airing in (slightly) edited form on CBS.

Marc Ecko Entertainment handled the production side of 2005’s Getting Up and is currently working on an untitled project with developer Human Head. The Dexter game is in pre-production and Showtime Networks and Marc Ecko Entertainment are in talks with a handful of developers to bring the game to life.
