In the wake of the remake’s release, Supermassive’s hit video game Until Dawn is headed to the big screen with a horror movie adaptation from director David F. Sandberg (Lights Out, Annabelle Creation, Shazam), and we’ve learned that filming wrapped over the weekend.
“We made it until dawn!” Sandberg posted on Instagram. “That’s a wrap on #UntilDawnMovie.”
You can check out Sandberg’s Instagram update below.
Ella Rubin (The Idea of You), Michael Cimino (“Never Have I Ever”), Ji-young Yoo (“Expats”) and Odessa A’zion (Hulu’s Hellraiser) will star in the upcoming horror film.
Peter Stormare (Clown, John Wick 2) will be reprising his role from the Until Dawn video game, while Maia Mitchell and Belmont Cameli will also appear in the movie.
Blair Butler (The Invitation) wrote the original draft, and Gary Dauberman (Salem’s Lot) worked on the script. The film is said to be “an R-rated love letter to the horror genre.”
Until Dawn centers around a group of eight teenagers who decide to vacation for a night in a cabin on the fictional Blackwood Mountain, exactly one year after the disappearance of two girls, the twin sisters of a member of their group. Shortly after arriving, the gang find themselves under attack by a psychopath, and must attempt to survive until sunrise.
Throughout the adventure, players alternate between all eight characters, making critical decisions as the story advances which drastically affects the game’s outcome, leading to hundreds of different scenarios.
The Until Dawn movie is being made by Screen Gems and PlayStation Productions.
Producers include Dauberman, Sandberg and Lotta Losten, as well as Roy Lee of Vertigo Entertainment, and PlayStation Productions’ Asad Qizilbash and Carter Swan.
The success of Until Dawn led Supermassive Games to create The Dark Pictures Anthology, an anthology series of horror video games with a similar interactive approach.
