Until Dawn Actor Peter Stormare Reprising Video Game Role for Movie

As a dedicated fan of Until Dawn, I must admit my excitement has reached new heights with the announcement that Peter Stormare will be reprising his role as Dr. Alan J. Hill in the upcoming film adaptation. Having spent countless hours navigating the treacherous Blackwood Mountain and making life-or-death decisions, I can’t help but feel a sense of nostalgia knowing that one constant element remains: Stormare’s captivating performance as the enigmatic Dr. Hill.


Initially, the game “Until Dawn” showcased an illustrious cast upon its release on PlayStation 4. However, the live-action movie version by Sony is set to feature a largely new ensemble of actors. Fortunately, there’s one notable exception – Peter Stormare! As reported by The Hollywood Reporter, he has been chosen for the film and is expected to reprise his role as Dr. Alan J. Hill, or The Analyst, from the game. This character was crucial in the storyline of “Until Dawn”, so it’s intriguing to see how the movie writers will handle this transition to the silver screen!

If you’re unfamiliar with the game “Until Dawn,” Dr. Hill serves as a kind of storyteller throughout it. After the initial character death, Dr. Hill introduces the concept of the Butterfly Effect, suggesting that small decisions can lead to enormous consequences. Dr. Hill is actually a psychiatrist for one of the game’s characters (whose identity remains unknown at the start), and becomes increasingly important as the story unfolds.

Among the actors featured in the game “Until Dawn“, it’s Stormare who seems most fitting to keep in the cast, given his age-appropriate character. The principal characters of “Until Dawn” were initially envisioned as young adults. Many of the original actors have since grown older and may no longer fit these roles effectively. However, Dr. Hill was intended to be an older character, making Stormare a more suitable choice compared to Rami Malek and Brett Dalton, who are now in their forties.

The game “Until Dawn,” one of several PlayStation exclusives, is being adapted into a live-action movie. Unlike adaptations like “Uncharted” and “Gran Turismo,” which took creative liberties with their source material, “Until Dawn” might closely follow the narrative of the PS4 game. Since the developers at Supermassive Games created a story reminiscent of an interactive film, certain aspects will need to be altered for the movie. Unlike in the game where player choices decide who lives and dies, the movie’s plot will determine these fates. It’ll be intriguing to see how closely the finished product aligns with the original game!
