Sony has revealed its movie adaptation of beloved PlayStation horror game Until Dawn will feature a new story and cast of characters separate from the original game's.
Ashley Brucks, president of Sony's film division Screen Gems, said during a
CES 2025 presentation that Until Dawn will still respect the source material, however, and actor Peter Stormare,
who played Doctor Hill in the original game and plays an unknown character in the film, said this approach works for dedicated fans and newcomers.
"I have been lucky to be part of Until Dawn since the original, incredible, super terrifying game, and what's why I'm so excited to be part of this film, because the whole thing is a love letter to horror, and it completely honors the spirit of the game," Stormare said.
"The movie is going to be full of fresh characters and victims in a brand new story loaded with twists, so whether you're a longtime fan or discovering it for the first time, get ready for Until Dawn like you've never seen it before."
