The Hollywood Reporter has learned that David F. Sandberg has signed a deal to direct a live-action adaptation of Until Dawn, Supermassive Games’ interactive drama horror game that originally released for the PlayStation 4 in 2015. Until Dawn stars a number of recognizable actors, including Hayden Panettiere, Peter Stormare, and Rami Malek, but there doesn’t seem to be any news yet as to whether they will be revisiting their roles. The game remains exclusive to PlayStation consoles.
Highlights:
- David F. Sandberg (Shazham!) to direct
- Gary Dauberman (It, Annabelle, The Nun) is writing the script
- Developed by Screen Gems and PlayStation Productions
- Described as an “R-rated love letter to the horror genre”
- Film expected to feature ensemble cast
Game description:
Eight friends are trapped together on a remote mountain retreat, and they aren’t alone. Gripped by dread, with tensions running high, they must fight through their fear if they all hope to make it through the night in one piece.
Play as each of the eight characters and experience fear like you never have before. Every decision you make in your terrifying search for answers could mean the difference between life and death, but for whom? Your actions alone will decide who survives Until Dawn.
