A movie adaptation of a video game remake of a video game emulating a movie.
So why didn’t they just use the original cast?

(check details)

Ah. Time flies, it’s been ten years since the original.

 

[Chuck Berry]

Why no Hayden Planetarium?

 

[mckmas8808]

Time line of when this should be released?

 

[Arachnid]

I enjoy the game for the choice aspect, but no way in hell the premise works as a horror movie. It'd be boring and derivative af.

 

[kittoo]

I mean it will probably be a low budget ($10 million-ish) movie anyway. Sony thinks it might earn something like 30-50 million at the box office like a lot of horror movies do. That would be a win. Then there is Netflix money.
It's an easy call for the studio.

Could this be a rare case where the original game has a better cast than the movie star wise?

Why no Hayden Planetarium?

[MDSLKTR]

Rami Malek must have been expensive to get.

 

[Wandering Leopard]

I still need to buy and play this but I wonder how they'll approach it, maybe a variation on the Groundhog day movie.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Who, who, who, and who?

 

[Werewolf Jones]

Need yes or no buzzers in the theatre so the audience can select the outcome otherwise its trash.

 

[tmlDan]

Remember, the cast has to be dumb and young, not sure i can be convinced an IRL Rami is as dumb as these kids were especially after Mr. Robot lol

he's also 43.

 

[DownLikeBCPowder]

I recall enjoying the game but have no interest whatsoever in a movie about it. I'd just play the game again.

 

[MrRibeye]

After playing through this twice with my sister, I'd enjoy watching this as a movie, because noticing all the differences and similarities it has with the game is fun to me.

 

[Hugare]

Why no Hayden Planetarium?

 

[semiconscious]

i really love the game (& supermassive), & i'm thinking that the movie makes more sense than the remake...

 

[adamsapple]

No Tom Holland?

 

[SJRB]

Why no Hayden Planetarium?

This is going to fuck you up but Hayden Caffetiere is 34 years old, she literally can't play a teenage girl at this point.

 

[xrnzaaas]

The game had more recognizable actors, even if you consider the fact that Rami Malek's popularity exploded a bit later.

 

[adamsapple]

This guy is supposed to be a teenager in Grease.

 

[consoul]

Shoot all the branching storylines and release it as an interactive 4K Bluray (or via Bandersnatch style streaming).

It would sell more that way than a linear movie.

 

[Audiophile]

Bit confused when I saw "Michael Cimino" for a sec there..

 

[lh032]

Very weird

I enjoyed the game ,I think is one of the best game but I never thought sony consider this an important IP ,

it would make a good movie though...easy win with horror films

 

[AmuroChan]

Horror movies are generally very cheap to make. So this is a fairly low risk endeavor. However, Sony owns so many great IPs. Focus on your A-tier IPs first before reaching for the B and C-tier ones like Until Dawn.

 

[Badlucktroll]

Should have Rami Malek like the game

As you said horror movies are low risk high reward. Usually every year or two a horror movie will become a cult success far outgrossing its budget, not to mention if it is successful that it will push the sales of the remake.

Sony is trying to make more and more of their IP, A-Tier.

Five Nights at Freddy's grossed 300 million
Us grossed 250 million, so did Get Out

You throw like 10-30 million on these movies and if they do well and become a franchise... all the better...

 

[analog_future]

Rami Malek is 43 years old lol

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Horizon was a Mistake.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

This is going to fuck you up but Hayden Caffetiere is 34 years old, she literally can't play a teenage girl at this point.

she was the perfect kat for the movie.

 

[Roufianos]

This movie is gonna be so shit unless they almost completely re-write it.

Until Dawn's story is wank, the fact you could affect its outcome is what made it good.

 

[TGO]

Lip injections always makes people look older

 

[Hugare]

Lip injections always makes people look older

I mean ...

I would say that it's not only lip injections.

She got older and a little chubbier.

 

[Oddvintagechap]

how will they compete with Immaculate Imaginary, Infested, Saw 45..

The high standards of horror movies is .. TOO HIGH!

 

[Oddvintagechap]

Focus on your A-tier IPs first before reaching for the B and C-tier ones like Until Dawn.

Screen gems is gonna release their horror movies might as well bring synergy. This will probably end up being their most profitable short term release.

 

[Wandering Leopard]

she's too old now, its been 10 years lol

Nah, they could do it but would have to use de-aging CGI tech, the problem is that it's not perfect yet.

Exactly this!

Well yeah I didn't want to mention the chubbier part
But as someone who does portraits and I've drawn her enough over the years to do it without reference, I know know the face.
There are some changes that at not natural or by aging.
In fact she isn't bad for her age which why it's more the confusing why she would other then the trends
For example
