This year marks a significant milestone with the 10th anniversary of the release of the game Until Dawn. I’m excited to bring you the first look at the trailer for its upcoming movie adaptation, which is set to hit theaters soon.
PlayStation Productions and Sony Pictures have teamed up with director and producer David F. Sandberg, known for films like Annabelle: Creation and Lights Out, along with writer and producer Gary Dauberman, who has worked on It and the Annabelle and The Nun series. Their mission has been to bring Until Dawn’s gripping atmosphere to cinema screens. The challenge? Capturing the game’s essence—especially its branching decisions and deadly repercussions—while crafting an experience that’s both thrilling and terrifying for the audience.
While the storyline unwinds within the same universe as the game, the movie isn’t just a direct adaptation. We’ve crafted an entirely new narrative with fresh characters. If you’re familiar with the game, you’ll know that appearances can be deceiving, and the film aims to keep viewers guessing until the final credits roll. Fans are in for a treat, as the storyline intricately links back to the original game in unexpected ways.
Peter Stormare, who played Dr. Hill in the game, returns to help bridge these worlds. His character’s involvement adds layers to the plot, prompting fans to delve deeper into the mysteries. It’s only fitting that Peter introduces us to this groundbreaking trailer:
“I’ve been fortunate to be involved with Until Dawn since its hauntingly brilliant video game inception, which makes my role in this film incredibly thrilling. It’s truly a tribute to the horror genre and captures the game’s spirit faithfully. The film presents brand-new twists and characters, promising a fresh experience. So, whether you’re a devoted follower or new to the franchise, prepare for a journey through Until Dawn like you’ve never experienced before.”
Now, sit back and enjoy the world premiere of the trailer. Stay tuned, as we’ll be sharing more updates in the run-up to Until Dawn’s theatrical release later this year.
