Sony announced in January that it planned to create a movie adaptation of its 2015 PlayStation game Until Dawn and the project is moving quickly through production. Earlier this month, director David F. Sandberg posted on Instagram that the film had wrapped shooting, and today Sony production house Screen Gems announced that the movie’s release date will be April 25, 2025. Until Dawn became a cult favorite among horror game fans, with a branching narrative that offers dozens of different endings based on a player’s choices. If you haven’t had a chance to experience the original Supermassive Games title yet, the game recently received a timely spooky season remake from Ballistic Moon. The big questions around creating a film from the game source include which of the many possible outcomes will the team choose for the plot and whether Until Dawn will follow in the footsteps of successful game adaptations or be an absolute trainwreck. Director Sandberg and writer Gary Dauberman have a solid track record in horror, and the film cast includes Ella Rubin, Michael Cimino, Ji-young Yoo, Belmont Cameli, Odessa A’zion, Maia Mitchell, and Peter Stormare reprising his role.
