David F Sandberg to direct movie adaptation of video game 'Until Dawn'

Filmmaker David F Sandberg will tackle the big-screen adaptation of the popular horror video game 'Until Dawn'. Sandberg, best known for two 'Shazam!' movies as well as 'Annabelle: Creation' and 'Lights Out', will direct the project from a script by 'It' scribe Gary Dauberman, according to the report.

The script was originally written by Blair Butler, who previously worked on vampire thriller 'The Invitation'.


First released in 2015 on PlayStation, 'Until Dawn' is an interactive horror video game that follows eight friends and frenemies who are brought together at a remote mountain retreat.

With live-or-die scenarios featuring a mysterious killer, cannibalistic wendigos, a cable car and a long-ago mining cave-in that reverberates into the present day, the members of the group must fight through their fear if they all hope to make it through the night in one piece.
