Summary
- Sony announced the Until Dawn film will be in theaters on April 25, 2025.
- Specific plot and character details have yet to be revealed.
- The first trailer should be released in the coming months.
Sony has announced that the Until Dawn film adaptation will hit theaters on April 25, 2025. The original Until Dawn was released as a PlayStation 4 exclusive in 2015, with the remake releasing just recently for PC and PS5. The game has been praised as one of the better interactive movie games on the market, but its status as an interactive movie has long had fans questioning the point of the film adaptation.
The Until Dawn movie was first announced in 2024. Directed by David F. Sandberg (director of Lights Out, Annabelle: Creation, and the Shazam movies), the movie is based on the video game, but it remains to be seen just how faithful it will be to the source material. Since Until Dawn is effectively an interactive movie already, if the film were to be a direct adaptation, it would have to essentially choose between different possibilities that players choose in the game. Time will tell exactly how the Until Dawn movie shakes out, but fans now know what they can expect to watch it for themselves.
Until Dawn's Viral 'New Character' Explained
The Until Dawn remake seems to have a viral 'new' character that's popping up in YouTube thumbnails, and many fans are confused.
As reported by Deadline, the Until Dawn movie will premiere on April 25, 2025. This announcement comes hot off the heels of Until Dawn filming wrapping up, though it will likely be months before fans get a proper trailer for the project.
When is the Until Dawn Movie Coming Out?
- Until Dawn Movie Release Date: April 25, 2025
Hardcore fans of the Until Dawn game may be interested in seeing its characters brought to life on the big screen, but that might be awkward since they already feature the likeness of existing actors like Hayden Panettiere and Rami Malek. The Until Dawn film adaptation stars Ella Rubin, Michael Cimino, Ji-young Yoo, Odessa A'zion, Maia Mitchell, and Belmont Cameli, but there's no word on who exactly they will be playing. To date, only one actor from the video game has been confirmed to be returning for the movie.
Peter Stormare is reprising his role as Dr. Alan J. Hill in the Until Dawn movie. For those that may not have played the game in a while, Dr. Hill is the psychiatrist that asks players questions between chapters. It's possible that Dr. Hill will be used in a similar fashion in the movie, or his role may be a little different. Until the movie is out or Sony decides to reveal more information, it's really anyone's guess.
All things considered, it's an exciting time to be an Until Dawn fan. Besides the recently released remake, it's been teased that an Until Dawn sequel is in the works as well, so there should be plenty to look forward to in the years ahead.
