Since its launch in 2016, Dead by Daylight has reached over 50 million players worldwide, with two million players stepping into The Fog every day. The game features a vast universe where classic horror survives and thrives. Having welcomed iconic characters from TV, film, and gaming, it's only fitting that the franchise expands to new horizons to tell its story.
To do this expansion, Behaviour Interactive has teamed up with Atomic Monster and Blumhouse to create a film adaptation of Dead by Daylight! The immediate team behind this project includes James Wan from Atomic Monster, Jason Blum from Blumhouse, and Stephen Mulrooney from Behaviour Interactive as producers of the film. Then there is Behaviour Interactive’s Rémi Racine, Atomic Monster’s Michael Clear, and Judson Scott, Blumhouse’s Ryan Turek, and Striker Entertainment’s Russell Binder are executive producers. Here’s what each producer had to say about the project:
First, we have Mulrooney, the Executive Vice President at Behaviour Interactive, who stated, “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.”
Then Atomic Monster Founder and CEO James Wan added, “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.”
Of course, we need to know what the Blumhouse Founder and CEO, Jason Blum, had to say as well, which was, "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."
Are you excited to hear about a Dead by Daylight movie in the works, let alone that it is being created with the talented hands at Blumhouse behind it?
