According to insider Daniel Richtman, Sony is preparing an adaptation of the psychological horror Mouthwashing. The film, Richtman claims, will be produced by Screen Gems, the studio that previously released Until Dawn. Who will write the script and direct is not yet known.
Mouthwashing tells the story of five crew members of the space freighter "Tulpar", transporting a batch of mouthwash. After a crash, the team is cut off from help, food and energy supplies are gradually running out, and relations between the survivors become strained. Captain Curly, who suffered terrible injuries and is now completely dependent on those whom, in the team's opinion, he doomed to a slow death, is blamed for the disaster. The narrative alternates between events before and after the crash, revealing its causes, the heroes' past, and their relationships.
Mouthwashing was created by the Swedish studio Wrong Organ with the support of publisher Critical Reflex. The game was released on PC in September 2024 and has since sold over 800,000 copies on Steam. On October 29, it will appear on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch, and will also be added to the Game Pass catalog.
