Shadow and Flame with Magik

#NotMyUntilDawn

I can’t tell you how excited I was for the movie adaption of Until Dawn, one of my favorite games ever.

Then we got the trailer

Thanks to Sony Pictures Entertainment for hosting their own video

I knew not to expect any of the original cast to show up in this, even though the bulk of them are still acting – Hayden Panettiere, Brett Dalton, Jordan Fisher, Rami Malet, and Nichole Sakura.

I was super excited to learn Peter Stormare was in the movie.

But this trailer killed all of my enthusiasm for the movie.

Now, if they were to announce an Until Dawn 2 game, and have this be the story of that? Sure, I’ll be all for this movie, and what a brilliant way to get promote a game.

even if they went with an alternative title, that implied this was set in the same universe, such as Until Dawn : Loopers, or something, but to call it plainly, Until Dawn?

It isn’t a movie about a class reunion

It isn’t about the Washingtons

Even if the wendigos are in this, and I can only assume, if they are surviving 13 repeated nights, with each night being a different horror creature, one of those will HAVE to be a wendigo, just means someone was aware they should at least have the faintest connection to the game.

I’m surprised they didn’t just call this Dark Picture Anthology: Loopers, or something. At least promote that series of games.

I wonder how many script changes did they get before they finally got to the shooting script?

I had this whole plan of taking Walker D to it, I was going to replay the game, and now, all of that is gone.

Maybe I watch it once it streams somewhere?
