PlayStation Productions have decided which property they’d like to upload onto the big-screen next by tasking Shazam!‘s David F. Sandberg with bringing horror videogame Until Dawn to life.
According to The Hollywood Reporter the director will reteam with his Annabelle: Creation writer Gary Dauberman to adapt the PlayStation horror video game.
Following the $400 million box-office success of 2022 Tom Holland/Mark Wahlberg adaptation Uncharted, PlayStation Productions has churned out The Last of Us, Gran Turismo, and Twisted Metal, and the 2015 interactive drama horror video game Until Dawn is next on their list.
Developed by Supermassive Games and published by Sony Computer Entertainment, the game allows players to assume control of eight young adults who have to survive on Blackwood Mountain when their lives are threatened by a mysterious stranger. The game uses a butterfly effect system in which players must make choices that will change the outcome of the story. It featured the voices of Academy Award winning Bohemian Rhapsody actor Rami Malek and Scream star Hayden Panettiere.
The film would return Lights Out director Sandberg to the world of horror following his stewardship of the Shazam! franchise for Warner Bros. and DC, while Dauberman has the oft-delayed Salem’s Lot remake gathering dust on a studio shelf, and is currently working on a live-action version of Gargoyles for Disney+.
