Gladiator II doesn't do enough to set itself apart from the original. It justifies its existence but could have been better.

Until Dawn: Film Adaptation Of Popular Game On The Way
A film based on the popular video game Until Dawn is in the works with David F. Sandberg directing and Gary Dauberman writing the script.
Article Summary
- Until Dawn video game to become a film directed by David F. Sandberg.
- Gary Dauberman, known for horror hits, joins Sandberg as the screenwriter.
- Screen Gems keeps the film plot details under tight secrecy.
- Concerns arise on story depth without the game's interactive element.
Until Dawn is heading to the big screen, the popular horror game adaptation will be directed by David F. Sandberg, who will reteam with Annabelle: Creation collaborator Gary Dauberman to bring the game to life. Sandberg has two Shazam! movies in his directing credits since then, while Dauberman wrote the screenplays for numerous horror hits like the IT franchise, The Nun, and more. He also directed a remake of Salem's Lot that Warner Bros. needs to decide what to do with and release it already. The Hollywood Reporter says that Screen Gems is keeping the film's plot under wraps.
Until Dawn Will Lose Its Interactivity
From the official website: "When eight friends become trapped on a remote mountain getaway gone wrong, things quickly turn sinister, and they start to suspect they aren't alone. Gripped by fear and with tensions in the group running high, you'll be forced to make snap decisions that could mean life or death for everyone involved. Every choice you make while playing as each of the eight friends – even the seemingly trivial ones – will carve out your own unique story. Written in collaboration with famed horror writers and directors Larry Fessenden and Graham Reznick, find out who will survive. With spine-tingling performances from a Hollywood cast, including Hayden Panettiere (Heroes, Nashville) brought to life with the power of PlayStation®4 – your actions alone will decide who survives Until Dawn™."
I have never played this game, so I can't speak to its quality. It is interesting that this is one of those more interactive-based games, and it will lose all of that in the adaptation. Is there enough story there when you take those elements away? Only time will tell. We will let you know as we learn more, like who will star in the film, a release date, and everything else.
