Cinema and video games: the attraction (and imitation) is mutual
From video game to film
Asad Qizilbash, head of PlayStation Productions, said: “We’re always trying to find creative and authentic ways to adapt our beloved video games that our fans will appreciate. Together with Screen Gems, we have assembled a fantastic cast of new characters that add to our already stellar team and their vision for the adaptation. We’re excited to reveal some more details about the film soon“.
The video game follows eight friends who are trapped together in an isolated cabin in the mountains and discover that they are not alone. As tension and fear increases, young people must face their fears to hope to survive the night.
The feature film arriving in theaters should maintain the choice to follow multiple characters, although we will have to wait to find out if there will be elements that are totally faithful to the video game.
