There are more and more video games coming to the cinema and, in some cases, there are rather singular adaptations such as that of Until Dawn which in itself is a video game with a strongly cinematic slant.\r\nThe announcement of the adaptation arrived at at the beginning of the year, directed by David F. Sandberg who directed Lights Out and Annabelle Creation before directing the two Shazam! films. Blair Butler (The Invitation) wrote the original draft of the screenplay, and Gary Dauberman (IT, Salem’s Lot) is now working on the script.\r\nAnd now, via Deadline, also comes confirmation of the first names of the cast that will bring it to life to the adaptation of the title by Supermassive (which you can recover on Amazon).\r\nElla Rubin, Michael Cimino, Ji-young Yoo and Odessa A’zion will be the protagonists of the film, selected by Screen Gems and PlayStation Productions.\r\ nRubin can currently be seen starring alongside Anne Hathaway in the Prime Video film, The Idea Of You, which recently became a hit for the platform. He will also star in the upcoming film Adult Children with Thomas Sadoski, Betsy Brandt and Aya Cash, as well as the Palme d’Or winner Anora and the Netflix film Fear Street: Prom Queens.\r\nCimino is best known for his role as Victor in the fan-favorite and critically acclaimed Hulu series Love, Victor. He is currently in production as the lead in Prime Video’s drama Motorheads and will soon be seen in the upcoming film Girl Haunts Boy.\r\nYoo was recently nominated for a Gotham TV Award for Outstanding Performance in a Limited Series for his work on Prime Video’s six-part limited series Expats. In 2023, Yoo starred in the touching coming-of-age drama Smoking Tigers, which world premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival. She will next be seen in the engaging film Freaky Tales alongside Pedro Pascal and Jay Ellis.\r\nAsad Qizilbash, Head of PlayStatio Productions and Product Manager for PlayStation Studios, Sony Interactive Entertainment, commented:\r\n\r\n« At PlayStation Productions, we always try to find creative and authentic ways to adapt our beloved games that our fans will enjoy. Over at Screen Gems, we’ve assembled a fantastic cast of new characters that builds on our already stellar directing team and their vision for the adaptation. We’re excited to reveal more about the film soon.”\r\n\r\nUntil Dawn centers on a group of eight teenagers who decide to spend a night’s vacation in a cabin on the fictional Blackwood Mountain, exactly one year after the disappearance of two girls, twin sisters of a member of their group. Shortly after arriving, the gang finds themselves under attack by a psychopath and must try to survive until dawn.\r\nMoreover, the title has recently come back into vogue because the remake for PS5 was finally shown. Or maybe it’s better to say remastered, since even fans aren’t entirely sure what it is.
