Summary
TheUntil Dawnmovie cast is being speculated by fans of the video game franchise, who believe Jessica Riley actress Meaghan Martin hinted at a return for more than just the PlayStation 5 remaster.
Until Dawn(a third-person interactive horror-drama video game) was released in 2015 by Sony for the PlayStation 4 to critical acclaim. The game featured notable actors who provided voice work and motion capture, including Rami Malek, Hayden Panettiere, Jordan Fisher, Brett Dalton, Peter Stormare, and Martin. TheUntil Dawnremaster was recently announcedfor the PS5 and PC during their State of Play and is set to come out later this year. Also announced on January 17 was theUntil Dawnmovie adaptation by David F. Sandberg and Gary Dauberman, described by Screen Gems as a love letter to the genre that centers on an ensemble cast.
Martinrecently answered a couple of Instagram story Q&As related to projects she has in development, which included her confirming her return for some new work on theUntil Dawnremaster. When a fan asked if she would do a horror movie someday, she also said yes, stating she’s currently working on one, leading fans to believe this is a tease for theUntil Dawnmovie. No cast members have been announced yet, but fan casts are already starting, with the biggest wish being for the originalUntil Dawnactors to return for the moviewith an adjustment for their ages, given that many believe they were already perfectly cast. Some cast members, like Ashley actress Galadriel Stineman, still share their love for the game to this day, so it’s not out of the realm of possibility that they may accept the offer if they get asked to come back for the movie.
Manywonder how theUntil Dawnmovie will playout considering the game’s utilization of the butterfly effect, allowing players to choose different pathways and which characters survive. There seem to be a few deaths that may be considered “canon” in the community due to how little gameplay the characters have and how easily they can die in quick-time events, which includes Jess. No doubt some characters will die in theUntil Dawnmovie, it’s just a matter of whom (and what) the creators will decide to adapt.
Some fans have said they don’t see a reason for theUntil Dawnmovie, considering the game is already realistic enough and plays out like a movie. Considering there are a lot of important story moments throughout the eight-hour game (longer if players aim for 100% completion), fans don’t know how it would fit into a movie that could be a max of three hours, though unlikely for a horror movie. Perhaps theUntil Dawnmovie could be interactive, like Netflix’sBlack Mirror: Bandersnatch, where viewers make crucial choices. People have even pointed out that theUntil Dawnmovie should have different endings in different showings, likeClue(1985), which had three endings showing three different killers.
