Sony’s live-action film adaptation of developer Supermassive’s acclaimed PS4 cinematic horror game, Till Daybreak, will hit the big screen on April 25 after another.
A Till Daybreak movie was officially announced in January, with Shazam and Lighting Out director David F. Sandberg directing the production from a script written by Blair Butler and It, Annabelle and The Nun writer Gary Dauberman. It stars Ella Rubin (The Concept of You), Michael Cimino (Love Victor), Ji-young Yoo (Expats), Odessa A’zion (Hellraiser), Maia Mitchell and Peter Stormare, who will reprise his role as a psychiatrist. Dr. Hill of sport.
Admittedly, a Till Daybreak movie has a bit of a peculiar proposition from the start, given that the overall goal of Supermassive’s raw game (which released on PS4 in 2015) was to allow players to live out their own trope. Teen horror movie, navigating a bunch of vintage-style conventions to see who lives and dies in response to your potential choices. So a Till Daybreak movie without interactive parts would largely just be a relatively unpleasant horror movie.
However, Sony’s major film adaptation, until now described as an “R-rated love letter to the horror genre,” was shown to have wrapped filming before this lifetime, and is now, according to Deadline reports, about to hit theaters next twenty. fifth of April after the occasion.
It arrives in the wake of Sony’s Till Daybreak remake for PC and PS5, which gave the unreleased an impressive makeover, but, as Virtual Foundry’s Will Judd recently explained, it came out on top on a “shaky technical foundation.” But despite its relatively mixed reception, Sony is said to have big plans for the franchise given signs of a sequel alongside the upcoming film version.
Till Daybreak joins a growing range of PlayStation games that have earned the option of film or television treatment in recent years, with varying levels of luck. Sony’s Uncharted and Gran Turismo movies didn’t exactly dazzle when they premiered in 2022 and 2023 respectively, but HBO’s nine-episode adaptation of The Utmost of Us from the latter event was a major and commercial big deal, with a second season on the way . . Major screen adaptations of Ghost of Tsushima, Jack and Daxter, Days Long Past and Gravity Accelerate are still coming, with a TV adaptation of God of War also on the horizon.
