By Screen Gems and PlayStation Studios have officially revealed the four key starts of its upcoming live-action film adaptation of the nearly decade-old PS4 video game “Until Dawn” from Supermassive Games.
Michael Cimino (“Love Victor”), Ella Rubin (“The Idea of You”), Ji-young Yoo (“Expats”) and Odessa A’zion (“Hellraiser”) have been tapped for leading roles in the R-rated horror tale.
PlayStation Studios executive Asad Qizilbash confirms in a statement that the film isn’t a direct adaptation, rather it will folow a “fantastic cast of new characters” which are part of the filmmakers ‘vision’ for the project.
Rami Malek, Hayden Panettiere, Brett Dalton, Jordan Fisher, Peter Stormare, Meaghan Martin and Nichole Sakura all starred in the original game and this indicates they aren’t playing the same roles.
The game centers around a group of friends reuniting at a snowy mountain retreat after the death of twin sisters they knew a year earlier on said mountain. They soon finds themselves terrorised by masked men which ties back to an old and abandoned sanatorium along with a old mine which caved in.
The game was an interactive drama that features a butterfly effect system in which players make choices. These choices influence the story’s tone and relationships, along with victims, and deaths are permanent. As a result the game has hundreds of potential endings.
David F. Sandberg (“Annabelle Creation,” “Lights Out”) directs from a script by Gary Dauberman (“The Nun,” “IT”). Qizilbash, Dauberman, Mia Maniscalco, Lotta Losten, Roy Lee, and Carter Swan produce.
No release date has yet been set. A PS5 & PC remaster of the original game releases later this year.
