Until Dawn Film Adaptation Is in the Works With Shazam!, Lights Out Director David F. Sandberg

Another well-known horror game is getting the big screen treatment. This time, it's Supermassive Games' 2015 release Until Dawn.

Sony Pictures has confirmed to IGN that the movie adaptation of Until Dawn will be directed by filmmaker David F. Sandberg, who previously directed horror hits like Lights Out and Annabelle: Creation, as well as DCEU films Shazam! and its sequel Fury of the Gods. Gary Dauberman, who's worked on horror series including It, Annabelle, and The Nun, is doing the latest pass on the script written by The Invitation's Blair Butler.

THR first reported the news. It'll be developed by Sony Pictures' Screen Gems as well as PlayStation Productions.

"As our partnership with Sony Pictures continues to grow, we're thrilled to be working on our first movie with Screen Gems. Until Dawn is a fan favorite PlayStation game that we can't wait to bring to the big screen," Head of Product, PlayStation Studios and Head of PlayStation Productions Asad Qizilbash said in a statement.

Released as a PS4 exclusive, Until Dawn is a choose-your-own-adventure horror game developed by Supermassive Games. Set on a snowy mountain, players control eight young adults who must survive the night. Like some of Supermassive's recent games in The Dark Pictures Anthology or 2022's The Quarry, who survives and how the story unfolds in Until Dawn is determined entirely based on the player's choices.

In our review of Until Dawn, we said: "Until Dawn is an inconsistent horror game, but it's still a heck of a lot of fun."

Until Dawn is the latest IP from PlayStation's catalog to get adapted for film or TV. Other PlayStation adaptations include The Last of Us, Twisted Metal, Gran Turismo, and Uncharted. The news also comes one day after it was announced that LKA's psychological thriller Martha Is Dead is getting adapted into a feature film.
