The Until Dawn Film Adaptation
With a release date set for August 04, 2025, the film, directed by David F. Sandberg and co-written by Blair Butler and Gary Dauberman, features a stellar cast, including Peter Stormare, reprising his role as the unsettling Dr. Hill.
In this initial teaser, the filmmakers offer insights into how they adapted the game’s interactive narrative for the cinema. David F. Sandberg highlights that one of the game’s most creative aspects is how the characters’ decisions directly impact their fates.

The official synopsis reveals a story beginning a year after the disappearance of Melanie, the sister of Clover. Seeking answers, Clover and her friends travel to the remote valley where the incident occurred, only to discover they are trapped in an endless night of terror.

Peter Stormare, known for his roles inFargo and Constantine, expressed excitement about being part of this adaptation. In the promotional video, he said, “It’s an honor to be part of this evolution from game to the big screen.” The video also features missing teenager posters and a chilling atmosphere, setting the stage for what’s to come.
