DEAD BY DAYLIGHT Horror Game is Getting a Film Adaptation from Blumhouse and Atomic Monster
Atomic Monster and Blumhouse have teamed up with Behaviour Interactive, the largest Canadian gaming studio, to bring the popular horror multiplayer game, Dead by Daylight, to the big screen!
In Dead by Daylight, one player takes on the role of a savage Killer, while the other four players try to escape and keep from getting caught, tortured, and killed. Some of the demented killers include The Nurse, The Wraith, The Hag, and more. There are even classic movie villains and characters licensed from films that have been added to the game such as Michael Myers, Freddy Krueger, and Pinhead.
Atomic Monster Founder and CEO James Wan said: “In ‘Dead by Daylight’ the Behaviour team has created a love letter to the world of horror, building an incredible environment teeming with atmosphere and terrifying villains — perfect for a scary cinematic adaptation. We’re big fans of the game at Atomic Monster, and are thrilled to be teaming up with Blumhouse to bring this frighteningly visceral world to the big screen.”
Jason Blum, Blumhouse founder and CEO, added: “We know there are so many fans of ‘Dead by Daylight’ out there and think 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. We know our partners at Behaviour and Atomic Monster will help us bring the best version of this game to life.”
Stephen Mulrooney, executive vice president at Behaviour Interactive said in a statement: “We couldn’t be more thrilled to work with Jason Blum and James Wan, two giants of the horror film industry, to further expand the ‘Dead by Daylight’ universe. At Behaviour, our motto is to create unique moments, together, forever. Atomic Monster and Blumhouse are the ideal partners to craft ‘Dead by Daylight’s’ killer entrance onto the big screen.”
Gamers have enjoyed playing Dead By Daylight since its launch in 2016, with over 50 million players worldwide and two million players venturing into The Fog every single day. And now, we’ll get to experience that same heart-pumping terror in movie form!
This is another perfect film project for Blum and Wan to team up on and I’m sure they will deliver a fun and frightening slasher horror movie that fans will enjoy.
