The first look at Sony’s Until Dawn movie has arrived, providing a glimpse at the video game adaptation. This is not a trailer, though, but instead the key creatives appear in the video to discuss their ambitions for the project, with footage from the film cut in between.
One of the first things that is apparent is that the Until Dawn movie does not re-tell the story of the game, but instead tells a new, original story within the universe. Peter Stormare’s character, Dr. Hill, from the game appears in the movie as the connective tissue, however.
Gary Dauberman, the writer and producer of the movie, said he thought a lot about how to continue the story of the game without “giving the audience the same experience they got playing the game.” Director David F. Sandberg said the movie has the same tone and vibe, but it expands on the Until Dawn universe.
