His credits also include scores of episodes of City Guys and Malibu CA — both of which he also created — along with Hang Time, USA High, California Dreams, How to Survive a Marriage and others.

Sony Pictures has debuted the trailer for David F. Sandberg horror ‘Until Dawn.’

One year after her sister Melanie mysteriously disappeared, Clover and her friends head into the remote valley where she vanished in search of answers. Exploring an abandoned visitor center, they find themselves stalked by a masked killer and horrifically murdered one by one…only to wake up and find themselves back at the beginning of the same evening. Trapped in the valley, they’re forced to relive the night again and again – only each time the killer threat is different, each more terrifying than the last.

As the previous trailer revealed, the movie traps a group of characters in a creepy location that’s stuck in time, with new threats being unleashed as the characters attempt to survive until dawn.

Quick Links Not Changing The Past Is A Part Of The Thrill It’s Okay To Do A Faithful Adaptation The Until Dawn Movie Could Still Be Good

Of the upcoming slate of video game adaptations, the Until Dawn movie was easily one of the most intriguing. First released in 2015, before seeing a quietly-released remake in 2024, Until Dawn is an interactive drama horror game from the horror minds of Supermassive Games. Until Dawn was a surprise hit known for its stunning visuals, a cast that includes Rami Malek and Hayden Panettiere, and its frightening good setting and story. Until Dawn was one of the small handful of games perfectly tailor-made for an adaptation.

With the release of the official trailer for the Until Dawn movie, it appears much of that was thrown out the window. Instead of a retelling, the film will feature a cast and story independent of the game.

When it comes to cinematic adaptations of beloved PlayStation games, so far we've enjoyed a mixed bag. HBO's The Last Of Us series ranks among the great TV shows of the millennium thus far; Sony's Uncharted movie with Tom Holland certainly ranks among the films that were released in February 2022; and Neil Blomkamp's Archie Madekwe/Orlando Bloom/David Harbour led Gran Turismo is, well, actually probably a bit better than it gets credit for honestly. And after our first look at David F. Sandberg's take on survival horror game Until Dawn caused no small measure of discourse about how much you can change a game and still keep its title for your movie earlier this week, a new, full trailer for the time loop chiller has just dropped. Check it out below:

Just days after dropping a teaser for its upcoming horror film Until Dawn, Sony Pictures has thrilled fans again by unveiling the official trailer, offering a deeper glimpse into the chilling story and the high-stakes terror that awaits the unsuspecting teens. You can check it out above!

Gamers will recognize this movie right away, as it’s based on the popular 2015 video game of the same name by Supermassive Games. Over the years, we've seen both successful and disappointing horror video game adaptations. While we're hoping that Until Dawn doesn't fall into the latter category, the early trailer suggests it has the potential to deliver the thrilling suspense and terrifying atmosphere that fans of the game expect.

Coming from the same director who brought us the horror films Lights Out and Annabelle: Creation, Lights Out, Until Dawn will not follow the game's original storyline but will instead tell a new story.

Last year, we learned that Lights Out and Annabelle: Creation director David F. Sandberg would be re-teaming with Annabelle: Creation screenwriter Gary Dauberman for a movie based on the horror video game Until Dawn. Production began in August, wrapping in October, and the film is aiming for an April 25, 2025 theatrical release. A couple of days ago, a teaser video dropped online to allow Sandberg and Dauberman to explain their approach to the material. Now, a full trailer has been unveiled, giving us a look at the result of that approach. You can check it out in the embed above.

The Until Dawn movie is directed by David F. Sandberg...

The official trailer has been revealed for Until Dawn. Released by Sony in 2015, Until Dawn is regarded as one of the most iconic horror video games of all time. It is known for its key mechanic of choice-making, allowing players to experience starkly different storylines and different character deaths. Now, an Until Dawn movie is in development, co-written by Blair Butler and Gary Dauberman and directed by David F. Sandberg. Until Dawn features a leading cast including Ella Rubin, Odessa A'zion, Michael Cimino, Ji-young Yoo, Belmont Cameli, and Maia Mitchell.

Now, Sony Pictures Entertainment has released the trailer for Until Dawn.

The trailer opens with an eerie banging as a car drives down a desolate road. The main character reveals to a shop owner that she is looking for her sister, who asks if the woman has gone missing. The man tells her that "up the road, that's where people get into trouble.

“Every night, somebody new is trying to kill us.” The Until Dawn video game gets a time loop twist in the upcoming movie adaptation from Sony Pictures, and the trailer has arrived.

From director David F. Sandberg (Lights Out, Annabelle Creation, Shazam) and writer Gary Dauberman (It, The Nun), Until Dawn arrives in theaters on April 25, 2025.

The upcoming movie will have a similar mechanic to the choose-your-own-adventure style of the video game, a unique way to bring the experience to life on the big screen. We’ve been told not to expect a 1:1 adaptation of the fan favorite video game, but it looks like Sandberg and company made sure their Until Dawn movie has that video game feel to it all the same.

Think Until Dawn meets… The Cabin in the Woods.

Actions have consequences. Sony Pictures has released the first trailer for “Until Dawn,” the live-action adaptation of the popular 2015 PlayStation horror game.

Developed by Supermassive Games, the “Until Dawn” video game follows a group of eight unsuspecting teenagers who convene in a remote cabin a year after two of their friends went missing. Through the utilization of a high-stakes “butterfly effect” mechanic, players make choices that impact later gameplay as they try to dodge masked killers, cannibalistic creatures, and figure out who’s really worth trusting.

The trailer shows the butterfly effect in action as characters gets killed off by different monsters, only to come back to life and repeat the same events with slightly different outcomes each time.

Written by Gary Daubmerman (and based on a previous draft by Blair Butler) “Until Dawn” follows Clover (Ella Rubin), a young woman who visits a remote cabin with her friends in...

The sun is nearly rising on “Until Dawn.”

The phenomenally popular 2015 horror video game is headed to the big screen, courtesy of “Lights Out” and “Annabelle: Creation” director David F. Sandberg, and you can watch the brand-new trailer below. Might want to keep the lights on, though.

In the film Ella Rubin plays a young woman named Clover whose sister (Maia Mitchell) has mysteriously disappeared. Wouldn’t you know it? This brings Clover and some friends to a mysterious house with an odd, hourglass-type device that will undoubtedly seal their fate. Michael Cimino, Ji-young Yoo, Odessa A’zion and Belmont Cameli also star, alongside Peter Stormare, who will reprise his role of Hill from the original videogame.

“The movie has the same tone and the same vibe but it expands upon the universe,” Sandberg said in a featurette released earlier this week. “One of the creative things the game did is...

Sony’s Screen Gems has unveiled a first-look featurette for Until Dawn, its adaptation of the hit video game, directed by David F. Sandberg (Lights Out), which hits theaters April 25.

In the video, released on Tuesday, writer-producer Gary Dauberman reflects on his approach to the adaptation, saying that “as a huge fan of the Until Dawn game and how cinematic it was, I thought a lot about how we could continue the story without just giving the audience the same experience that they got when they were playing.”

Sandberg notes that while the film has “the same tone and same vibe” as the game, it “expands upon the universe” at the same time. “One of the creative things the game did,” he says, “is that people make different choices and die in different ways. The movie has this mechanic where things start over and they get to try again. Every...

In January 2024, it was announced that ‘Until Dawn,’ a live-action film based on the video game, was being developed by Screen Gems and PlayStation Productions. David F. Sandberg is directing, with Gary Dauberman writing the script, based on an earlier version by Blair Butler. The movie is described as an R-rated tribute to horror with a big ensemble cast.

By mid-2024, actors Ella Rubin, Michael Cimino, Ji-young Yoo, Odessa A’zion, Maia Mitchell, and Belmont Cameli joined the cast. Peter Stormare, who played Dr. Alan J. Hill in the game, will appear as a new character in the movie.

The movie is slated for an April 25 release, and now several months ahead of the premiere first look was shared by the crew:

Ahead of an official trailer release, Sony Pictures has released a first look at Until Dawn. The upcoming horror movie is a live-action spinoff of the 2015 video game of the same name.

In the first look video, Until Dawn director David F. Sandberg and writer Gary Dauberman discuss how the movie will stay true to the original game — which featured a butterfly effect system in which players must make choices that may change the story, including which characters survive or die — while giving the audience a new experience. "One of the creative things the game did is that people make different choices and die in different ways," Sandberg explained, meaning that players could revisit Until Dawn multiple times and get a different outcome every single time. This butterfly effect system has been loosely adapted for the movie, with Sandberg revealing that there is "this mechanic where things start over and [the characters] get to try again,...

The movie version of Until Dawn is mostly still a mystery, despite shooting coming to an end last year. With an April release date set, there has been no trailer, no images, and no plot details about the long-awaited adaptation of the survival horror video game. However, thanks to new information revealed by Sony at CES 2025, fans hoping to see Until Dawn follow the likes of The Last of Us in bringing a faithful version of the game to cinemas may find themselves disappointed with the update.

According to information shared during the event (as per ComicBook), the film will not be a direct adaptation of the familiar story, but will instead introduce a whole new cast of characters in a story that simply takes place within the same world as the game. One piece of connective tissue between the two projects is actor Peter Stormare, who appears in the movie after voicing Dr.

An update has been revealed for the upcoming movie Until Dawn. Based on the hit horror video game of the same name, the feature film is set to hit the big screen on April 25.

Ahead of Until Dawn coming to theaters, fans are waiting for an official trailer to get a better idea of what the adaptation will be like. The good news is that, per DiscussingFilm, the first trailer for Until Dawn has been "rated & ready for release." A release date for the trailer still has yet to be announced, but the new update is a sign that it's imminent.

Based on a True Story is based on (or partly inspired by) a true story. The series, which satirizes true-crime tropes, introduced Cuoco and Messina as Ava and Nathan, a down-on-their-luck couple who crossed paths with an infamous serial killer, “The Westside Ripper,” in Los Angeles. Ava, a pregnant true-crime obsessive, suggested making a podcast with the killer as a way out of their marital rut.

Now, after the events of season one, season two opens with Ava and Nathan as new parents who attempt to now get out of the true-crime game — but, as the trailer shows, those aspirations are fleeting. The season opens on Ava and Nathan struggling to balance parenthood with waking away from their obsession.
