Should there be a Dead By Daylight movie staring the original 4 Survivors and original 3 Killers?

    Cool and you accidentally made a duplicate! :)

    I don't really think a movie would be good, but a 5-10 minute short for each character's backstory would be cool. This would probably not apply to licensed characters due to copyright. Something akin to the Spirit's teaser trailer. Perhaps make it a reward for reaching Prestige III-50 on a character to unlock their backstory video.

    Or maybe each character would get an 11:30 long animated chapter on a direct to Blue Ray movie?

    I suppose...

    Having a 5-10 minute short would be more than enough for me.

    And those of us who have reached p3-50 on all characters? 
    I like the idea of that, but some of us, like me :) have already reached that goal. How would they make it so that clip can be seen by us? 
    Because my guess is that the clip would start as soon as you get that notification that you have reached lvl 50 for the last time.
    There would have to be a library of some sort then, I guess.
    Still a very cool idea.

    If you are already P3-50 on those characters, you would have automatic access to it. I do like the idea of a library, and maybe just have a whole lore section of the game.

    Would the movie be someone running around pallets of wood and tbagging the killer for 5minutes?

    That would be amazing!

    It could be a situation where all four are brought to three battles, one with each killer. Meg can die in the first against the trapper after being caught in a bear trap. When the survivors make it out and see Meg isn't at camp they worry, but she's right there again in the second battle. Claudette dies in the second battle against the wraith, healing others before herself and leaving a blood trail. In the third battle, the hillbilly gets both Jake and Dwight, but Claudette finds a key and gets Meg and her to escape.

    The end presents Claudette and Meg waking up by the light of the campfire, only to realize they are by a burning barrel at the asylum, and you see the nurse teleport into view in the background. Min is working on a generator nearby while Nea quietly climbs over a window and shushes them.

    The sequel would have Jake and Dwight paired with David and Kate going against the huntress. Kate and Dwight get out, David takes a hook for Jake who ends up being the last in the match and manages to dismantle all the hooks before being Mori'd. And return to Nea, Meg, Claudette and Min vs the nurse. All four survive the nurse but not before each one getting hooked.

    Then Kate, Jake, Meg and Claudette vs the Clown, while Dwight, Nea, Min and David vs the Doctor.

    Final Battle is Ace, Nea, Jake and Min vs the Hag. for movie

    I like the idea, but I think unlocking it in any matter just seems silly as people will post the videos online anyway so it's not like it will be kept secret.

    I don't think a movie about a bullied killer would be a good idea.

    I dont think they would make it based on the gameplay :)

    Maybe more of the concept of the game, that people get taken by a dark entity and have to survive a set of brutal killers. And ofc, repairing generators isnt the whole movie concept, but more a survive the trials to be free again. Just you know, the idea and story  of the game, and not so much how the game is played.

    Yes! A lore section. That would be great.

    So just like the intro that has nothing to do with how the game actually plays.
    Ok then...

    We should go full '90s with it: "The Erotic Fog Travels of Dwight Fairfield"

    Add some saxaphone music and you've got a late night TV winner.

    Come on, even Blizzard, who rich as hell do animated shorts, like, for half of year. Its long process, which requires much money, resources and well-skilled animators. Too hard for Behaviour, not to mention, they still have roadmap for year.

    Well, this isnt the first game who makes videos that has nothing to do with the actual gameplay, that happens with most games, so that shouldnt be an issue.
    And a few years back they made a movie based on battleship, that didnt mean we had to sit and watch different colored plastic things fall down from the sky on a blue screen to guess where the ships where placed. 
    This would therefor not be the first game to make a movie "based on" the game. Nothing strange about it.

    Based on the talk we had, if they made little short movies about the characters, that could be unlocked, and for us who have played for some time and probably met the requirements to unlock it, then yes, a library to collect that and the lore would be a good thing. Its not needed now, as the lore is on the wiki, but we were talking about something else, thats not even in the game. So it was an answer based on that discussion.

    The question is... would there be only 4 survivors and 1 killer during the trial, or would every survivor face 1 killer?

    I’d love one, especially if it included more than just the original characters. I would like to see parts of it filmed in IMAX 3D. It would be really cool to see a Survivor step into a bear trap and then look up to see the Trapper grab them (this would be from the Survivor’s POV). Billy could swing his chainsaw and it could come out of the screen, along with the Survivor’s blood. Grabs could also look better in 3D from either side’s POV.

    Sounds interesting and definitely cool and guy's if people can work I out with the devs bhvr could set up a go fund ne account we the players chip in to it for stuff we want that is not part of gameplay so they can hire people heck id love to see a live action of the film the emotions the pain and some more cooler kills like the huntress beheading somone with a hatchet throw
