A match made in horror heaven, proven by the success of M3gan. Atomic Monster and Blumhouse have joined forces with Behaviour Interactive to bring the worldwide hit horror multiplayer game, Dead by Daylight, to the big screen. This partnership promises to deliver a terrifyingly visceral world that has never been seen before….since the Five Nights at Freddy’s film has yet to surface.
“Dead by Daylight is a love letter to the horror genre,” said Atomic Monster Founder and CEO James Wan. “With its incredible atmosphere and terrifying villains, it’s perfect for a scary cinematic adaptation. We’re thrilled to team up with Blumhouse and Behaviour to bring this world to life.”
Is this a cabin thing? Honestly I don’t know. Since its launch in 2016, Dead by Daylight has attracted over 50 million players globally, with two million people stepping into “The Fog” every day. Although I am not one of those folks, the game features a vast universe where classic horror villains come to life, making it the perfect source material for a thrilling feature film adaptation.
Jason Blum shared, “We know there are so many fans of Dead by Daylight out there, and it’s imperative we find someone who appreciates and loves the world as much as we do, to help us bring the game to the big screen.”
The search for a director and screenwriter is underway, and James Wan, Jason Blum, and Stephen Mulrooney will produce the film. Remi Racine of Behaviour Interactive, Michael Clear and Judson Scott of Atomic Monster, Ryan Turek of Blumhouse, and Russell Binder of Striker Entertainment will serve as executive producers.
