By Maia Mitchell (“The Fosters”), Belmont Cameli (“Saved by the Bell”) and veteran Peter Stormare have joined the cast of the film adaptation of hit horror video game “Until Dawn” at Screen Gems and PlayStation Productions.
The trio join the already cast Ella Rubin, Michael Cimino, Ji-young Yoo and Odessa A’zion in the R-rated film, which begins shooting in mid-August.
The game centres around a group of friends reuniting at a snowy mountain retreat after the death of twin sisters they knew a year earlier on the mountain.
They soon find themselves terrorised by masked men, these men tie back to an old and abandoned sanatorium along with an old nearby mine that caved in.
The game was an interactive drama featuring a butterfly effect system in which players make choices. These choices influence the story’s tone and relationships, along with the victims’ deaths, which are permanent. As a result, the game has hundreds of potential endings.
Stormare will be reprising the role of therapist Dr. Hill which he played in the original game which also starred the likes of Rami Malek, Hayden Panettiere, Brett Dalton and Jordan Fisher. A remaster of the game is coming to PS5 and debuting on PC later this year.
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.
