Overview
- Alexandre Aja will co-write but not direct due to his commitment to Under Paris 2 for Netflix, and a formal search for a director has begun.
- James Wan, Jason Blum and Behaviour Interactive’s Stephen Mulrooney are producing, with executives from Behaviour, Atomic Monster, Blumhouse and Striker Entertainment aboard.
- The feature adapts Behaviour Interactive’s 1-vs-4 survival-horror game, which launched in 2016 and has surpassed 60 million players worldwide.
- Blumhouse–Atomic Monster secured the screen rights in 2023, and hiring the writers marks a concrete step from rights acquisition to creative development.
- Reporting notes that the game’s many licensed crossover characters may require separate clearances, which could limit which familiar figures appear in the film.
