on · 3 Comments

(I’m a Mac user, and not a gamer, so I won’t be playing Dexter the Game anytime soon, but I’d love to hear reviews from those who have!)

Marc Ecko Entertainment today announced that DEXTER The Game is now available for digital download on the PC. The game is based on the Emmy® and Golden Globe®-nominated SHOWTIME® television series DEXTER™ and is available for $9.99.

Published by Marc Ecko Entertainment and developed by Icarus Studios in conjunction with Showtime Networks Inc. and CBS Consumer Products, DEXTER The Game is a port of the famed iOS (iTouch / iPhone / iPad) app. You play as the captivating Dexter Morgan, a serial killer who must maintain his nice-guy façade. During the day he is a blood spatter analyst for the Miami Metro Police Department, but at night he creates his own brand of justice on criminals. In fully realized 3D environments, you control Dexter, analyzing crime scenes, uncovering evidence and using stealth tactics to stalk your prey. The outcome of every choice and action revolves around the Code of Harry: only kill the guilty, maintain the “mask” and most important of all, don’t get caught!

“DEXTER The Game on the PC is the next step in what we hope will be a long line of DEXTER products,” said Marc Fernandez, Executive Vice President of Marc Ecko Entertainment. “Every time we release a new DEXTER game the fans continue to support us.”

The DEXTER game includes voiceovers by series star and executive producer, Michael C. Hall, and has an original storyline by DEXTER co-executive producer and writer Tim Schlattmann.

Dexter Season 6 Update from Michael C. Hall

Dexter Season 6(I wouldn’t exactly call this an “Exclusive” as the site advertises, since Hall only answered 2 fairly vague questions about Dexter Season 6, but it’s worth passing on anyway!)

What’s Ahead for Dexter Season 6

One television series that continues to be loved by both fans and critics alike season after season is Showtime’s Dexter. The show finished airing Dexter Season 5 in December and is gearing up to begin production on the upcoming Dexter Season 6 very soon.

When we last saw Dexter he was coming to terms with the death of his wife Rita (Julie Benz), and the fact that his star pupil Lumen (Julia Stiles) no longer feels the need to kill.

Meanwhile, his sister Debra (Jennifer Carpenter) has come one step closer to finding out her brother’s shocking secret. Now, with Rita’s children coming back to live with Dexter for the summer, fans can’t wait to find out what will happen next.

We recently had a chance to catch up with the actor who plays Dexter, Michael C. Hall while he was out promoting his new independent film Peep World, which opens in theaters on March 25th and also stars Sarah Silverman, and Rainn Wilson.

What does Hall have to say about the upcoming Dexter Season 6?

We took the opportunity to talk to Michael C. Hall a little bit about Dexter and asked the actor when he begins shooting Dexter Season 6.

“Not until May but it’s definitely happening.”

We finished up by asking Michael C. Hall if he is excited to return to work on the series and revisit the character again.

“Yeah I’m excited. Doing something for this long is a crazy proposition but with this at least it continues to evolve.”

Jennifer Carpenter: New Dexter Will Surprise

Jennifer Carpenter and Michael C HallJennifer Carpenter is excited about the coming season of Dexter

Jennifer Carpenter, who plays Debra Morgan on Dexter, says she thinks the sixth series of Dexter will surprise viewers. The actress, who plays alongside her ex-husband Michael C Hall in the Showtime drama, said she thinks there’s one or two seasons still to go.

She said: “I’m really excited about this year. [The end of the last series] was just really open-ended, it could go anywhere. It has the same opportunity to surprise people and I think it will.”

Jennifer Carpenter wouldn’t say what she thought might happen when reunited on set with Michael, who plays her character’s murderous brother, after the two separated last August. But she’s keeping herself busy with work, and has three films in the pipeline: The Factory alongside John Cusack; Hungry Rabbit Jumps with Nicolas Cage, Guy Pearce and January Jones, and Ex-Girlfriends, an Alexander Poe comedy – which is something that’s been missing from her CV of late.

“When I was in school, I was always cast as the clown. I thought that is what I was going to do. I can’t seem to make my way back to it. I guess once people hear you scream, they can’t un-hear it or something,” she said.

Jennifer’s also currently starring in an off-Broadway play called Gruesome Playground Injuries.

Dexter and the Death Penalty – Stirring the Pot

on · Leave a Comment

Dexter MorganFascinating article about Dexter and the ethics of taking the law into one’s own hands, vs the death penalty, written by Sidra Zaidi.

After more than a decade of putting executions on hold in the state of Illinois, the Illinois General Assembly recently voted in favor of officially banning the death penalty. As constituents wait for Governor Pat Quinn to either sign or veto the bill, discussions abound as to whether capital punishment is legitimate and fair. While it may seem like a stretch, Showtime’s most popular series Dexter subtly considers such debates, imparting thought-provoking lessons along the way.

The show tells the story of Dexter Morgan, who has an uncontrollable urge to kill that he vindicates by murdering criminals and vagrants who he believes deserve to die. With airtight DNA evidence on his side, Dexter pursues guilty individuals before the faulty justice system can take action. Morgan is portrayed as a hero, which is why most of the program’s viewers are on his side. But can support for Dexter-style justice translate into advocacy for capital punishment?

After all, even calm and cautious Dexter is capable of making mistakes. In the third season, Dexter accidentally kills an innocent person — an error that possibly alludes to the U.S. Justice System’s own oversight. Since 1973, 138 wrongfully convicted people in 26 states have been released from death row. Twenty of those freed from execution were held in Illinois. And according to the Northwestern University School of Law’s Centre on Wrongful Convictions, there have been 39 cases of capital punishment where there was compelling evidence for appeal or significant uncertainty of guilt. Therefore, if Illinois decides to keep the death penalty, there will always be the slightest chance that an innocent person could be executed, bringing the morality of capital punishment into question — another issue that the Dexter series explores.
