Blumhouse, Atomic Monster and Canadian game developer Behaviour Interactive are officially moving forward with the film adaptation of hit asymmetrical multiplayer survivor horror game “Dead by Daylight”.
French filmmaker Alexandre Aja, best known for “Crawl,” “Piranha 3D” and “The Hills Have Eyes” remake, will co-write the script with “Aquaman” and “The Conjuring” sequels scribe David Leslie Johnston-McGoldrick.
Now, Thordur Palsson (“The Valhalla Murders”) has boarded the project as director, and the film is already targeting a shoot sometime in 2027.
Launched a decade ago, the 1 vs 4 game sees a group of players trying to hide and escape from a killer. The Killer must impale each Survivor on sacrificial hooks to appease a malevolent force known as the Entity, while the Survivors have to avoid being caught and power up the exit gates by working together to fix five generators.
It’s mostly famous for licensing and incorporating famed characters from many different horror franchises as both the killer and survivors including characters from “Halloween,” “Alien,” “A Nightmare on Elm Street,” “Stranger Things,” “Evil Dead,” “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre,” “Saw,” “Scream,” “Ringu,” “Hellraiser,” “Resident Evil,” “Silent Hill,” and “Left 4 Dead”.
The game has reached over 60 million players worldwide and has inspired board games, comics and cosmetics. James Wan, Jason Blum and Stephen Mulrooney are producers.
