You get to write and/or direct and/or cast a Dead Island movie, BUT... there's rules.
First rule: It has to tell an original story and cannot be set in Banoi or Los Angeles.
Second rule: It has to be set in, and shot on location on, a real-life island.
Personally, I'd do an interquel set on Hatteras Island (my hometown), a resort area in Eastern North Carolina. The story would be set after the events of DI1/Riptide, either as a prequel or sequel to DI2. I'd work with the devs to make sure that the film stays canon with the games.
As for the characters, I'd work with the actors I cast to play the 4-6 survivor characters in creating their characters.
