Earlier this year, we reported about a live-action adaptation of the Until Dawn game being in the works, with David F Sandberg attached to direct. A few days after the completion of its production, distributor Screen Gems announced that Until Dawn will release on April 25, 2025, in theatres. The film features actors Ella Rubin, Michael Cimino, Ji-young Yoo, Belmont Cameli, Odessa A’zion, Maia Mitchell, and Peter Stormare.
Sandberg directed the film based on a screenplay draft by writer Gary Dauberman. Writer Blair Butler had penned the earlier draft. The film, based on the eponymous PlayStation game, went on floors in August this year.
In the interactive horror game, each user gets to choose their own adventure, with their choices having an impact on the result. The game revolves around some young adults who get back together at a mountain lodge following a tragedy among them. When a mystery killer begins to hunt them down, the nightmarish place becomes the last resort for them to keep themselves alive. The film is reportedly not a retelling of the same Until Dawn story, but it stars Stormare in a role reprisal of therapist Dr Hill from the game.
