Sony's Until Dawn Movie Lands A 2025 Release Date

As a die-hard fan of suspenseful horror stories and interactive gaming, the news about the upcoming Until Dawn movie has sent shivers down my spine! Being a witness to the evolution of gaming since the days of 8-bit graphics, I’ve always been fascinated by the intersection of movies and video games. The fact that the movie is being directed by David F. Sandberg, who brought us the hilarious Shazam! films, makes me wonder if we might be in store for a blend of jump scares and laughs.


2024 saw Sony Pictures revealing plans for a feature film adaptation of Until Dawn, the interactive game developed by Supermassive Games and released in 2015. Filming has now been completed, with the movie set to debut on the big screen around the time of Until Dawn’s tenth anniversary in 2025.

Sony has announced that Until Dawn, directed by David F. Sandberg, will be released on April 25, 2025. Sandberg, who recently directed the Shazam! films for DC and Warner Bros., is also a producer of this movie. Initially, Blair Butler, a former G4 personality, penned an early draft of the script. However, Gary Dauberman was responsible for the final version.

In a revamped version, the initial storyline stars Academy Award-winning actor Rami Malek, Hayden Panettiere, and Brett Dalton as companions who meet up at a secluded mountain retreat a year after one of their friends mysteriously vanished under suspicious conditions. However, this reunion takes a chilling turn when they encounter a terrifying peril in the frosty forest.

In a nod to its origins, Peter Stormare will once again take on the character of Dr. Alan J. Hill, hinting at a faithful adaptation of the game’s narrative. The ensemble for this production features Ella Rubin, Michael Cimino, Ji-young Yoo, Odessa A’zion, Maia Mitchell, and Belmont Cameli.

A fresh version of Until Dawn has just been launched on PS5 and PC platforms, and there’s even a suggestion of a follow-up game. Should the film be well-received, a possible sequel for the game might influence the plot of the second movie too.
