Until Dawn to get movie treatment

The last few years have been full of video game adaptations, including the animated Super Mario Bros. movie. Amidst rumors of a Legend of Zelda and Super Smash Bros. movie, Until Dawn has emerged.

Until Dawn is an interactive horror game that was released in 2015. You play as a group of eight friends who are staying at a remote mountain retreat. You make split-second decisions in life-or-death scenarios, creating a lot of tension and jump scares.

Interestingly, the original video game used popular celebrities in the motion capture and were quite recognizable in the game, like Rami Malek and Hayden Panettiere. It’s unclear who would star in the motion picture adaptation.
