They're making an Until Dawn movie.

I'm baffled what the point is of adapting something where the entire idea of it is that it's completely cliche but you have sway over how it plays out into a static story, or what you could get out of a movie that you couldn't get out of watching a commentary-free playthrough on Youtube, but not like it hurts to try it I guess.

If it was one of those Netflix choose your adventure films then yeah absolutely but considering the appeal of games like this, the Dark Pictures Anthology and David Cage games is that they are cinematic games where choices matter i just don't see the point of it. They fill a niche but on screen they would be just be another film.

And then games like The Quarry added a cinematic mode anyway.

It's

It's already a playable movie

This is completely ridiculous

It's not even a good movie

Until Dawn is a great game, not sure how it will be adapted with all the choices.

Odds it has a far worse cast than the actual game did?

excellent, I love dogshit

I tried so hard to get Emily killed and failed. Hopefully this movie will have a very brutal death for her.

Retitle the movie "Until Don" and make the main villain Don Johnson.

She's the easiest one to kill, my dude.

I enjoyed the game, but as a movie it seems like one of those dime a dozen horror films you'd only find by digging through "Movies like this" on Prime for 10 minutes. Its entire appeal is that we could make life and death choices on behalf of the characters.

Still, if they get Nichole Sakura to reprise the role of Emily, I'd probably watch.

My biggest complaint with Until Dawn was always the whole concept of “Let’s make a game about the Butterfly Effect, and let’s also make sure the game has no branching paths so the Butterfly Effect doesn’t actually affect the story!”, so the fact that they’re making it a movie which also won’t be able to have any branching paths to take advantage of the Butterfly effect doesn’t appeal to me either. Without that one gimmick it’s just a cliched by the numbers 80s horror movie.

I presuming this means Larry Fessenden will get a check from this (he co-wrote the game) and use it to make some more of his indy films, so it's a win.

Let me say that differently: I very much wanted to kill her. I damn near put down the controller at one crucial point. But I wanted to do my best to keep everyone alive. didn't though, cause ended up having one of them get killed.
