Uncredited Contributions: The Writers Behind 'Until Dawn' Speak Out

April 25, 2025 - 18:25

Larry Fessenden and Graham Reznick, the creative minds behind the acclaimed 2015 video game "Until Dawn," have expressed their disappointment over not being credited in the film adaptation. The duo is known for their extensive contributions, having penned an impressive 10,000 pages of content that set a Guinness World Record for the game. Despite their significant role in shaping the narrative and characters, their names were notably absent from the film's credits.

In a recent interview, Fessenden lamented the lack of recognition, stating, "I thought somebody would have bothered to throw in our names, even during the end credits." This sentiment underscores a broader issue within the entertainment industry, where writers often find themselves overlooked in adaptations. The situation raises questions about the importance of acknowledging the original creators and their contributions, particularly in projects that draw heavily from their work. As adaptations become increasingly popular, the conversation around proper crediting for writers continues to gain momentum.
