Until Dawn Movie Has A Unique Mechanic Inspired By The Game, See First Footage
Instead of adapting the game, the movie tells its own unique story where "things start over" multiple times
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.
The Until Dawn game is a choose-your-own-adventure kind of experience where that can lead players down different paths based on their choices. The movie, Sandberg said, has a mechanic where "things start over and they get to try again." He added: "Every time they come back to life, it's like they're in a new horror genre. To survive, they have to make it until dawn."
The first official trailer for Until Dawn is "coming soon." The movie hits theaters on April 25.
2025 is filled with video game movies, with A Minecraft Movie (April 4), Until Dawn (April 25), Mortal Kombat 2 (October 24), and Five Nights at Freddy's 2 (December 5) coming this year. On the TV side, HBO's The Last of Us Season 2 debuts in April, with Twisted Metal Season 2 also expected for 2025.
