Ex-PlayStation narrative director starts Until Dawn film petition to credit game writers


Until Dawn is the latest video game to get itself a film adaptation, having made its cinematic debut on 25th April.

Now, a former PlayStation narrative director has started a petition"for the integrity of the Until Dawn creators", which they hope will see the film's credits updated so members of the original team "may be finally honoured". Watch on YouTube"As a former Sony Interactive Entertainment and PlayStation narrative director who was firmly told that the IP I personally created would NEVER be credited to me as I was salaried (no royalties, no control, no ownership , no acknowledgement) I am struggling with the difference between [The Last of Us creator] Neil Druckmann's favour and that of others in your company," Kim MacAskill wrote on LinkedIn. MacAskill said members of the Until Dawn team had spent "years breaking their brains to make something incredible", and therefore "the world DESERVES to know their names" in the film's credits.
