"Phasmophobia" Movie in Works
Yara Sameh
Blumhouse Productions has set its sights on another horror video game to adapt to the big screen, developing a feature based on 'Phasmophobia,' the first-person paranormal puzzle title that became a viral sensation during the coronavirus pandemic.
The film adaptation will be produced by Blumhouse and Atomic Monster, in association with Kinetic Games Limited.
First released in early access in 2020, 'Phasmophobia' became a social media fixation as Twitch streamers and YouTubers quickly took to the multiplayer ghost-hunting video game.
Developed and released by Kinetic Games Limited, the title was a breakthrough hit for the indie banner, becoming the best-selling video game on Steam for several weeks through the final months of that year. It has been ported to several consoles and has sold more than 23 million copies globally in the time since.
'Phasmophobia' was also a critical darling, taking the prize in the category of best debut game at the 2020 Game Awards.
The project was unveiled at the first-ever 'Business of Fear' event in Hollywood on Tuesday, which featured Blumhouse CEO Jason Blum and president Abhijay Prakash as speakers.
It comes as Blumhouse's latest video game adaptation, following their 2023 title 'Five Nights at Freddy's' — another film based on a streamer-popularized horror game. That Universal release grossed $291 million worldwide — an especially impressive figure, considering it had a simultaneous streaming debut on Peacock in North America.
A sequel, 'Five Nights at Freddy's 2,' will be released in theaters on December 5. Blumhouse also sports a game division, with upcoming titles including 'Eyes of Hellfire' and 'Sleep Awake.'

"Thunderbolts" Sets Digital, 4K & Blu-ray Release Dates
Yara Sameh The New Avengers are coming home. Marvel's latest adventure, "Thunderbolts*", will hit video on demand on July 1 and get a 4K UHD, Blu-ray, and DVD release on July 29, with preorders coming soon. "Thunderbolts*" stars Florence Pugh as Yelena, David Harbour as Red Gaurdian, Wyatt Russell as John Walker, Hannah John-Kamen as Ghost, Olga Kurylenko as Taskmaster and Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes, a ragtag team of antiheroes who are pitted against each other by Julia Louis-Dreyfus' Valentina Allegra de Fontaine. While "Thunderbolts*" underperformed at the box office, it was well-received by fans and critics, and seen as a return to form after Marvel's at-best uneven Phase Five. The July 1 streaming date means fans who missed it in theaters will be able to rent or buy it at home, although there's no word yet on a Disney+ release date. The 4K Ultra HD digital and physical release will feature Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, as well as bonus features like deleted scenes, a gag reel, behind-the-scenes featurettes, and commentary by director Jake Schreier. Marvel is also releasing collectable versions of the Blu-ray, including a SteelBook version featuring custom artwork, plus a Walmart-exclusive Blu-ray featuring pop-up artwork. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean News 3 Killed in Shooting Attack in Thailand
