PlayStation reveals cast for Until Dawn film adaptation

It seems there is currently no room in the upcoming film adaptation for the actors who took part in creating the original game.

Head of PlayStation Productions Asad Qizilbash shared exclusive information with Deadline, revealing the first “four” actors cast in leading roles for the upcoming Until Dawn film adaptation. They are young streaming stars: Ella Rubin (“Billions”), Michael Cimino (“Love, Victor”), Ji-young Yoo (“Expats”), and Odessa A’zion (“Ghosts”).

Asad Qizilbash also mentioned that when creating adaptations of games published by Sony, PlayStation Productions always strives to find a balance between creativity and authenticity. He also promised to share new information about the adaptation in the near future.

It is known that David F. Sandberg (“Shazam!”, “Annabelle: Creation”) is taking the director’s chair for the upcoming adaptation. The first draft of the script was written by Blair Butler (“Hell Fest”), but Gary Dauberman (“It”) later took over as the lead screenwriter. 

At the moment, it is unknown which characters the aforementioned actors will portray, but it can be assumed that the role of Emily Davis went to Ji-young Yoo. Whether Rami Malek will return to the role of Joshua Washington also remains unknown.

The original story follows eight friends arriving at the snowy Mount Washington (Canada) to spend a fun Christmas vacation. But as usually happens, everything goes awry, leaving one hanging question: “Who among them will survive until dawn?”

As a reminder, the Until Dawn remaster for PC and PlayStation is scheduled for release in the fall of 2024. The project is being developed by the British studio Ballistic Moon, which was founded in 2019 by alumni of Supermassive Games, the creators of the original interactive movie title.
