Behavior Interactive announced plans for one last year Dead by daylight Film made in collaboration with Jason Blum’s Blumhouse Company and James Wan’s Atomic Monster. The Dead by daylight The film is in good hands simply by being associated with these two names, but since last year we’ve heard very little about the plans for the adaptation. During New York Comic-Con, ComicBook met with Blum and received an update on the topic from the Blumhouse founder Dead by daylight film, saying that everyone is still working on a script while comparing the adaptation process to the work that went into Blumhouse’s Five nights at Freddy’s Film.

“I’m working on the script,” he said when asked if there was an update that could be shared Dead by daylight Film. “You know, we don’t put films on the calendar until we have the right script.”

For those who may be impatient to learn more Dead by daylight Film, Blum used the Five nights at Freddy’s Film adaptation as an example of how long something like this sometimes takes. The Five nights at Freddy’s The film was in the works in some form for nearly a decade before hitting theaters, even changing hands from Warner Bros. to Blumhouse during the process before finally hitting theaters in 2023. The film did well Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 Fans, even if the critics didn’t like it that much, and there’s another one on the way, so the time I spent drafting it Five nights at Freddy’s The film was apparently worth it.

“It took 10 years to make Five nights at Freddy’s, And I think one of the reasons the film worked is because we spent 10 years getting it right,” he said.

Return back to Dead by daylight, He said he hopes those working on the film get a script they’re in love with, but he said broadly speaking it could take anywhere from one to five years.

“I hope we get a script we like,” he said. “We are working on a script, but it could take five years or 12 months. You just don’t know. You can’t make the film until the script is right, and you don’t know how long that will take.”

If the Dead by daylight When Films was first announced, it was said that a director and screenwriter were being sought. Since then, no one has been confirmed for these roles, so other than Blum, Wan and their companies’ executive producers and Behavior Interactive, no other names are currently attached to the film.

Dead by daylight is in the middle of one of the biggest events of the year as we are close to Halloween. So Behavior Interactive still has a lot to do with the game itself while work on the film continues. More DLCs are also in the pipeline, including one for none other than Five nights at Freddy’s that will be released next year.
