Earlier this year, Sony Pictures announced the upcoming film adaptation of the Until Dawn video game. Now, Peter Stormare, one of the stars of the horror video game, is confirmed to reprise his role in the movie.
Via The Hollywood Reporter, Stormare will once again play Dr. Hill, a therapist who makes increasingly unsettling appearances in the game. This casting decision suggests that the movie’s script will remain close to the source material. For that reason alone, it’s too much of a spoiler to say how and why Dr. Hill is a part of the story. But the primary focus is on a group of friends who reunite one year after a tragedy for a vacation in the mountains that soon goes horribly wrong.
Maia Mitchell and Belmont Cameli have also joined the cast in currently undisclosed roles. In June, Ella Rubin, Michael Cimino, Ji-young Yoo, and Odessa A’zion were the first performers lined up for the movie. The video game’s cast included Oscar-winner Rami Malek, Hayden Panettiere, and Brett Dalton, among others. So far, Stormare is the only actor from the game confirmed for the film.
Annabelle: Creation and Shazam director David F. Sandberg will helm Until Dawn from a script by Gary Dauberman. Production is expected to begin in August, but Until Dawn doesn’t have a release date yet. In the meantime, a remake of Until Dawn will hit PlayStation 5 and PC later this year.
