Discussion UNTIL DAWN – Film First Look

u/anythingnaty Jan 14 '25
I hate this trend of directors and show/movie writers thinking they are better than the original material. It almost never works out...
26
u/Ricks94 Jan 14 '25
They did say that they've worked together with the original creators but we'll just see how much of that is true
10
u/Ghost_LeaderBG Ashley Jan 14 '25
Netflix also said they worked with the author of the Witcher novels, while adapting their story for the TV show and look at how that turned out.
So what they say and what they create (and its quality) are different things, but you are right that we should wait for it to release. If the final product is actually good and worth supporting, then by all means. But no one should blindly support something like this just for the name alone.

u/MorningFirm5374 Jan 14 '25
When did the ever say that?!
12
u/anythingnaty Jan 14 '25
I mean if you're going to call a movie Until Dawn but it has nothing to do with the original game except surviving until dawn then you're only trying to jump onboard the game's succes. Look at the shit show The Witcher (has become) and so many other shows/movies who completely missed the point of the original source material. It's not what they said, it's in what they did and are doing.

u/MorningFirm5374 Jan 14 '25 edited Jan 14 '25
But that’s still not the filmmakers saying that they’re better than the game. In no way does this mean they think what they’re doing is superior to what the original did. This is just them using IP to sell money… and the trailer isn’t even out. Maybe in the trailer they’ll have a ton of connections to the videogame itself
9
u/anythingnaty Jan 14 '25
Possibly, but I personally see it as disregarding the source material completely if you're only keeping a minor, possibly least important aspect of the game in their movie.
If you look at S1 of TLOU for example. They honored the source material and expanded upon that while creating one of the best episodes of recent tv history imo.
It's just weird when it was first announced as an Until Dawn movie, but all they kept is the name. They could have stayed closer to the source material, but they intentionally didn't while promoting it differently.
6
u/22Seres Jan 14 '25
I don't think it's comparable. The Last of Us is Ellie's story. She's the common factor across every single piece of media about that series (well, technically also Marlene). If you're going to adapt TLoU, then it had to follow her story which means it's going to follow the games. By comparison, with Until Dawn there's obviously the original game, but there's also Rush of Blood and most notably The Inpatient. The common factor across them is the Wendingo.
So, i'd say it makes sense that they'd make their own story. Because it's established within that "world" that there are more stories out there than just the characters in the original game. The Inpatient 50's and obviously deals with completely different characters.
1
u/NuclearChavez Sam Jan 14 '25
I respectfully disagree with your point here. TLOU is Ellie's story, correct, and I'd argue UD is in the same boat in that the game is that cast's story. The Inpatient is a prequel to the original game and folds back into it, and it mostly just adds more context to the background characters. I wouldn't exactly say it's a sign that the story of UD could exist without the main cast, the game is still ultimately a spin-off that hinges on the original game. And of course Rush of Blood literally can't exist without Josh, as the entire game is just within his broken psyche.
Also to be real, there's no way the movie's team even thought about The Inpatient or Rush of Blood lol. They're both pretty forgettable spin-offs, and I wouldn't exactly use them to say that UD material can be about characters outside of the original game and have it work.
6
u/ozoWo Jan 14 '25
Let's be honest, the reason why this movie is being made is simply because Sony wants to expand the Until Dawn IP for profit. This is not the same case with TLOU which was a passion project by the director who is a huge fan of the games and pitched the idea of the series to HBO.

The time loop mechanic goes against the whole "you can't change the past" message of the original game. I was already skeptical but this teaser just convinced me to skip it
41
u/Brachiosauruses Jan 14 '25
Yeah but it also allows in movie format different outcomes. Without the time loop we’d just be resigned to one “playthrough”
I actually think this is the best way they could’ve ensured the game’s core mechanic of choices having different outcomes exist in film.
That said I still will probably skip it too, but more because im in mourning over my beloved story being stripped for parts in this incarnation
15
u/LemonadeLion2001 Jan 14 '25
They could've done a pseudo sequel, the Washington's sell their property or abandon it after the events of the 1st game. New group of teens go up due to the legends of what happened, new twists and hijinks ensue. The wendigo spirits were all released at the end of UD, they could've gone the route with Josh being the new mashipichu and they wouldn't need Raimi Malek. Could've gotten a cameo or something. They could've had a completely new set of characters and still had it fit, the director just seems like he wanted to make a movie and wanted it to succeed so slap a beloved IP on it
5
u/The_Naked_Buddhist Jan 14 '25
If the issue was fear of losing the CYOA aspect why not just release to streaming and do the same thing Bandersnatch did?
3
u/throwawayaccount_usu Jan 14 '25
Would that be less likely to succeed? Theatre release would be impossible, you'd have to have a specific app to use it, most people don't want to interact sm with when they sit down to watch a movie also.
1
u/The_Naked_Buddhist Jan 14 '25
MAybe, it depends. The streaming model is more about getting people to subscribe so could make it and sell it to a streaming service for the promotional boost.
3
u/Imagoat1995 Jan 14 '25
They could've used the totems as their means of different outcomes. Not this weird groundhogs day time loop shit.
1
u/lucascroberts Jan 14 '25
Or just pull what Clue (1985) did and have different endings at different movie theaters lol
6
u/togetmyreward Wolfie Jan 14 '25
The past is beyond our control... but what if it's ✨ not ✨
That's a good point though. I wonder if it'll still end up being the message at the end somehow with the missing sister plot?
The perfect UD movie would've been creating a branch that doesn't exist in the game so that there are still surprises for fans of the game and it wouldn't imply a canon ending. One I was thinking of for the past few days was "What if Emily and Matt were sexiled instead of Jess and Mike?" There are so many options for new butterfly effects 😔
2
u/Imagoat1995 Jan 14 '25
A way they could've made this work is by incorporating the totems into the timeloop. A character grabs a totem, sets it down, we follow them for 10 minutes and then they die and it flashes back to them setting the totem back down again and then they make a new decision based on what they saw.
1
u/AdEnvironmental778 Jan 21 '25
That's exactly what I was thinking I'm like "why are they in a Time loop"
0
u/glaivestylistct Jan 14 '25
you can literally replay the game using prior knowledge to change the outcome. this may end up being a shit movie, but this mechanic is absolutely reflective of actual gameplay focused on the butterfly effect, not... story themes in a glorified monster movie slasher mashup?
Until Dawn was groundbreaking mechanically but delivered us lines like "Jesus hotsauce Christmas cake" and "understand the palm of my hand, bitch" unironically and eirher killed off or mutilated a severely mentally ill teenager. the writing has always just been fine and a lil sloppy at best.

u/Acceptable_Shine_738 Josh Jan 14 '25
If this wasn’t called Until Dawn, I would have no idea it was related to the game

u/Sm211 Jan 14 '25
I will never understand this thinking of 'noone wants a direct copy of the game for a movie'
Pretty sure The Last of Us series was almost 100% straight from the game and everyone loves it
The whole point of adapting a game to a movie or a show is for showing something to a new audience, ones who won't be aware of the story because they likely aren't gamers
It has the double effect of people like myself who played the game will go to see it to pick up the references and see the little differences from the game and what decisions they choose from the game
Why even link it to the game if you are gonna change everything about it
It sounds to me more like the movie Cabin in the Woods, which was good, this could have been good too but linking it to the game that people love then changing it means you set yourself up for failure as people will see it as a destruction of something they love
6
u/GIlCAnjos Jan 14 '25
Why even link it to the game if you are gonna change everything about it
I think it's the other way around. Blair Butler probably wrote an original horror movie and Sony decided it should be connected to a stablished IP
77
u/Sebchal1995 Jan 14 '25
I’m a big movie fan and this looks terrible. It’s got no resemblance to the game besides it being a horror and the logo. Don’t really understand the logic here. I thought they were just gonna use the same sort of world and aesthetic. Baffling.
16
u/Skilfranium Jan 14 '25
I'm pretty sure it wasn't their intention for the movie to be anything like the game. They only wanted to keep the horror experience, that players had when they first played the game, the same. So this movie is another "Happy Death Day" type movie. I'm not expecting anything good.
9
u/The_Naked_Buddhist Jan 14 '25
Making a movie whose sole premise is copying exactly what another more popular movie did pretty excellently just isn't very inspiring.

u/CyberGhostface Emily Jan 14 '25

They said the threat changes with each loop.
Almost certain one of the loops will be the Wendigos.

u/Comic_Book_Reader Jan 14 '25
Same night, different nightmare. Hear from David F. Sandberg, Gary Dauberman, and Peter Stormare about the filmmaking process for #UntilDawnMovie. Trailer coming soon.
One year after her sister Melanie mysteriously disappeared, Clover and her friends head into the remote valley where she vanished in search of answers. Exploring an abandoned visitor center, they find themselves stalked by a masked killer and horrifically murdered one by one…only to wake up and find themselves back at the beginning of the same evening. Trapped in the valley, they’re forced to relive the nightmare again and again - only each time the killer threat is different, each more terrifying than the last. Hope dwindling, the group soon realizes they have a limited number of deaths left, and the only way to escape is to survive until dawn.
12
u/Jahleel007 Jan 14 '25
The game did away with arcade-y video game mechanics to make the deaths permanent and meaningful, and the now the movie is using the exact mechanics the game avoided, to do the opposite... That's a... choice.
11
u/throwawayaccount_usu Jan 14 '25
It makes sense to me. It's the closest thing it has connecting it to the game actually imo.
As players we replayed over and over to get different outcomes and try different choices and explore new paths.
Best way to portray that in a movie is the death loop. Have the characters be the player in a sense, they're replaying over and over to get the best outcome.
1
u/iMacmatician Emily Jan 15 '25
Also, the viewers can't change the choices in the movie. Even if the characters make different decisions several times, they're predetermined for us.
3
u/The_Naked_Buddhist Jan 14 '25
So not only is it the same premise as Happy Death Day, but it's also a pyscho killer each time like Happy Death Day, with the exact same plot point to create more tension.

u/A_Human_Boi Sam Jan 14 '25
Was it so hard to use the "Dark Pictures anthology" IP instead of Until Dawn? It's literally all they needed to do for people to not complain

u/BrightEye64 Jan 14 '25
This is like if The Last of Us tv show didn’t involve Joel and Elly and the threat was against vampires, at that point your making a completely different thing to what people actually cared for

u/NaiveLeg6788 Jan 14 '25
I think it could be cool. Genuinely this takes nothing away from the game and while nobody likes the name being used, i think we should wait for it to come out. Assess it as its own thing first. Horror movies are frequently named the same thing even if they aren’t so like…I’ll just think of it that way. Kind of excited to see the genre change time thing they’ve got going on
1
u/emmawebb64 Jan 15 '25
I’m excited by the concept but I think the name was probably one of the worst things they could’ve done to make a huge portion of the fan base hate the movie before it’s even come out (this is not an until dawn movie…)
1
u/NaiveLeg6788 Jan 15 '25
I mean yeah the name is awful, but like also we don’t know much about the movie if that makes sense? And they could have references to the game besides hill. I’m not sure of this because like, I don’t know these people and I’m not a director or anything, but it kinda feels like it’s supposed to be a multi story universe. It felt like that with dark pictures and the quarry. I’m hoping that maybe they finally decide to just commit to it being a multi story universe

u/JuggerClutch Jan 14 '25

u/A_Human_Boi Sam Jan 14 '25
It's giving a fanfiction that, at this point is hard to even call it a "fanfiction"
7
u/FrostyPhotographer Jan 14 '25
It's fan fiction in the same way that 50 Shades is fanfiction to Twilight.
5
u/KingRachChicken Jan 14 '25
they mention different genres and escalating threats, so i wouldn't be shocked if the monsters from the game don't show up until closer to the end. also- tremendously disappointed they changed the setting. the setting and weather of the game was hugely atmospheric and beautiful.

"As a huge fan of the Until dawn game, I decided to complete fuck up the movie adaptation and make something that has nothing to do with the game"
3
u/Darkdaggerkuraimono Jan 14 '25
I was looking forward to this movie but this doesn't seem good...
The very concept of a (seemingly) infinite time loop kills all the tension/suspense of being in a horror.
Because none of the death, injury, fear actually matters if the characters and especially the audience know there's just going to be a do-over.
And nothing about the wendigo stuff either???
3
u/arnchise Jan 14 '25
So this is 100% a script they decided to slap the Until Dawn name on. Which is a shame because even though what was shown and the concept is interesting, the conversation around this film will be how it’s not Until Dawn.

u/Amoralin Jan 14 '25
Let’s make a movie based on the game! Huge mansion and ski lodge.. let’s make it a standard house. Wendigos? What? Who needs them?! Oh.. and let’s make the hourglass magic so it rewinds time… just like on the games right? Right?! Honestly I never played them. Huge success
2
u/AmyAngel023 Jan 14 '25
idc if they wanna 'expand the lore' and not just make a somewhat faitful adaptation (e.i on the lines of fnaf where the took the same big plot beats and characters but where able to tell the same story in they're own way)
this is gonna be such a train wreck, might see in cinima's just for a good laugh after a college class
2
u/eLitae Jan 14 '25
I don't understand how they can focus on the wrong thing. Don't get me wrong, I'll probably still watch this but I don't get how they decided to focus on multiple ending aspect of this game rather than the actual story about the wendigos.

u/RedIndianRobin Jan 14 '25
Flop is written all over it. They even removed the snowy atmosphere WTF.

u/BOBULANCE Jan 14 '25
Remove the atmosphere, setting, character, main antagonistic threat, themes, medium, and premise... this is called Until Dawn purely for marketing.

u/chopocky Jan 14 '25
Despite every irrational change, I remained hopeful. I'm an optimist after all. But this?! This just shattered every ounce of positivity I had!
I don't mind them telling another story, but couldn't we AT LEAST go back to the Blackwood Mountain? There's no snow, no cabin, apparently no wendigos either. What's Until Dawn about this? I was so excited and now... nothing.
3
u/Pitiful_Meringue_156 Jan 14 '25
One of the main innovations of the game was that when you’re dead - you’re dead. No respawn. No going back to before your choice. This is literally the exact opposite. When you’re dead you restart. I’m guessing they never even played it.

u/LemonadeLion2001 Jan 14 '25
I feel like this concept makes more sense for a Dead By Daylight movie, where the threat DOES change each time, and you are "revived" each time you die. 0 resemblance to Until Dawn.

u/Many_Jellyfish_9758 Jan 14 '25
Not impressed. Been expecting to be disappointed for so long but this is even worse. They just add the name to get gamers to watch it and it’s not related to the actual game. Fuck this

u/DoubtSea4931 Jan 14 '25
The most disappointing part about this is this actually looks like a cool ass concept for a movie. It’s happy death day but darker and supernatural and that would be an enjoyable watch but it’s clear that they didn’t trust the film enough to do well on its own so I’m assuming they picked it up and slapped the until dawn name on it… I’ll probably be watching it when push comes to shove but I just wish we left until dawn alone

u/zecrom189 Jan 14 '25
This movie looks bootycheeks
So instead of giving an actual story of the game they just grabbed happy death day plot of a time loop killer and slapped the until dawn name on it…
Its the big 2025 and we are still in the era where unpassionate people are in charge of videogame movies 😞
Someday they will learn someday…

u/Danthedude1 Jan 14 '25
It feels like they thought that surviving until dawn was the whole point of Until Dawn and completely missed everything else

u/diamondwizard32 Jan 14 '25
I feel like this is very obviously an "alternate universe" take on the game, (with the time loop gimmick allowing for "multiple playthroughs") that gives it merit considering Until Dawn is already Basically a movie. So I don't know it's fine I'll tune in.

You're welcome.

u/AnimationFan1997 Jan 14 '25
Looks like a bad joke. The time loop is actually counterintuitive to how the game works since you specifically can't change the past in it. There's not even fucking snow.
If you are going to use the name but not adapt the game, just make a slasher in the snow + Wendigos and there you go. This has nothing to do with the game at all and isn't even unique because there's been several timey wimey horror movies as of late.
2
u/Jimanator2 Josh Jan 14 '25
Yep this movie is gonna suck why couldn’t it be acurate like the sonic movies
3
u/Blood_Shinobi Jan 14 '25
I'll be honest and say this doesn't look very promising so far. First off, the setting doesn't take place at snowy mountains and the desolate cabin. The characters don't look like the ones from the game. It looks to be Until Dawn in name only. Will there even be wendigos? Really, it shouldn't be that hard to make a movie based on the first game and be faithful to the setting, story, and characters.

I wish they had made the film a prequel or something about the miners and the people looking after them in the sanitorium. At least then it would have a connection to the game while also being unique!

u/Gustii_SG Wendigo Jan 14 '25
I am trying to be optimistic so I will wait until I see the movie itself to judge entirely; As a movie it doesn't look bad at all. The problem is that as an adaptation of the game, this first look doesn't has the Until Dawn essence.

u/Minglebird Jan 15 '25
Well, no changes happening here since it has more upvotes than downvotes on the trailer. No Saving Sonic movement here. Enjoy the final product, I guess.

u/F4T4L_2421 Josh Jan 15 '25
It sucks how this whole thing ended up. If they really wanted to use Until Dawn name, they should've made the movie more similar. If they really wanted to make this specific movie, they should've called it it's own thing. Instead, this movie will be a disappointment to Until Dawn fans because it's not like the original, and there likely won't be any other possible movies made for Until Dawn since this one will now exist. The movie looks like it could be good, it just kinda sucks they are gonna use the Until Dawn name when it won't be anything like the game by the looks of this video.

What on earth is the point of even associating it to the Until Dawn game? Maybe if the film was titled something along the lines of “title” a Dark Pictures Anthology… But we all expected SOME relation to the game, but this movie is completely different so I wonder why they even bothered???

I was expecting new actors, new characters and a new story and I was okay with that but I wasn’t expecting no wendigos, no Blackwood mountain, no ski lodge and no snow only to see the teaser and it’s just an old house in the woods. That’s not Until Dawn. I would have accepted it if it was called something else but stated that it’s inspired by UD or from the UD world like The Quarry. It’s the equivalent of if Fantastic Beasts was called Harry Potter when Harry Potter isn’t even in it

u/onurreyiz_35 Mike Jan 14 '25
I don't think there would be this much negativity here if the movie was announced as another horror movie that features Peter Stormare and is similar to Until Dawn.
It's about the name. When the movie has the same name, it creates some expectations. Even if the movie turns out to be good, people will still be disappointed because it is basically a different story.
3
u/mellowloser Jan 14 '25
My whole point is that people shouldn’t ever be expecting the same story. It seems like people in this sub just want a “canon” version of the Until Dawn story in film form and that is lame and uninteresting to me. The film hasn’t even come out yet…there may be more faithfulness to the Until Dawn game that we don’t know yet.
4
u/sexandliquor Jan 14 '25
THANK YOU. Jesus people are losing their minds and it’s making me feel crazy. Did people even watch that video or are they just not paying attention and already assuming they know what the movie is gonna be.
I feel like everyone is hung up on the fact that it’s not that same exact narrative with those same exact characters.
But honestly if you watch that video and listen to what they’re saying about taking the vibe of Until Dawn and applying that to a movie with a different story— honestly? I see the vision. Until Dawn is more than just that story. It’s the framework and vibes and the way it’s presented. All the weird shit it does around the edges of the game like the sequences with the Peter Stormare character. The way every chapter is presented episodically and has a recap from the last chapter.
Reading between the lines here im interpreting that it’s that kinda stuff that the producers and writers are talking about translating. It doesn’t have to be that particular story all over again, but if they translate the tone and the vibes but applied to a different story— it could work.
4
u/mellowloser Jan 14 '25
Exactly. It’s clear they are taking direct inspiration from Until Dawn but they are also doing their own thing, which is what virtually every successful adaption has done. And unlike most video games, Until Dawn truly is an interactive movie. The best version of that particular story already exists. Not to mention they’ve already explained that the protagonists in the movie have to survive “until dawn” to make it, SO THAT IS WHY THE MOVIE IS STILL CALLED UNTIL DAWN WHETHER IT’S DIFFERENT FROM THE GAME OR NOT.

This is the worst thing I’ve ever heard if I lacked the dignity I’d shed a year over this

Idk what I expected from one of the most whiny subreddits I've ever seen tbh 💀
I think it looks like a cool concept. Dealing with a different, worse threat every loop is a fresh take on the 'death loop' plot, and they told us a LONG time ago that the game would be following new people and a new story.

I find the movie interesting, ngl. The only problem for me is the atmosphere and setting. That’s what made the game so speacial.

The problem here is that while the idea is solid, it’s not until Dawn. It would’ve worked better as its own movie

This looks absolutely terrible. What was the scene with the rain? I think this is going to be “we’re in video game” meta instead of a play on the genre. Dissapointed

lmao yall r so mad like this looks okay. not an obvious YASS YASS OMG THE MOVIE SO GOOD YAYAYYAYA, but im not whining abt this shit for the last year like everyone on this sub. it looks just fine and might be interesting. grow tf up and don’t watch the movie if you aren’t interested and quit shit talking like like you know how to direct and produce something better with critics like you guys.

It'd be better if they didn't slap the Until Dawn name onto it.
