The first look at the film adaptation of Until Dawn was released today by Sony. In the video, we get some glimpses of the film, along with some insight from the film’s director David F. Sandberg, writer/producer Gary Dauberman and Peter Stormare, who played Doctor Hill in the original game.

Speaking on the film, Dauberman explains how he “thought a lot about how we can continue the story without just giving the audience the same experience when they were playing.” Sandberg mentioned that the movie will have the same “tone and vibe,” but will “expand upon the universe.” Something that is expanded upon was the notion of different choices in the game resulting in different deaths. According to Sandberg, for the film, this resulted in a “mechanic” that allows the characters to “start over and try again.”

Alongside Stormare, Ella Rubin (The Idea of You), Michael Cimino (“Never Have I Ever”), Ji-young Yoo (“Expats”) and Odessa A’zion (Hulu’s Hellraiser) will star in the upcoming film, along with Maia Mitchell and Belmont Cameli.

Until Dawn releases in theaters April 25.
