A fan-crafted trailer envisioning a 2026 live-action take on Sony’s Days Gone has surged online, casting Oscar nominee Jake Gyllenhaal as grizzled biker Deacon St. John and action star Jason Statham as his loyal brother-in-arms Boozer, reigniting talk of the long-dormant official adaptation. Uploaded December 8, 2025, by YouTube channel Ultimate Studios, the concept video – titled “Days Gone: Live Action (2026) – First Trailer | Jake Gyllenhaal, Jason Statham – Concept Trailer 4K” – has amassed over 32,000 views, blending gritty gameplay footage with Hollywood deepfakes and dramatic cuts of Freaker hordes overwhelming the Pacific Northwest.
The clip explicitly disclaims any affiliation with Sony Interactive Entertainment, Bend Studio, or PlayStation Productions, positioning itself as pure fan fiction. Yet, it taps into persistent rumors of a real film, which Sony first greenlit in 2021 under PlayStation Productions. With no official updates since 2022, the trailer’s viral traction underscores the game’s enduring cult status amid a boom in video game adaptations like The Last of Us and Fallout.
Days Gone, released in 2019 exclusively for PlayStation 4, follows ex-Mongrels MC enforcer Deacon St. John (voiced and motion-captured by Sam Witwer) navigating a virus-ravaged Oregon two years after “The Freaker” outbreak turned humans into feral “Freakers” and “Rippers.” Deacon, presumed dead after a cave-in, searches for his wife Sarah amid biker betrayals, NERO black ops, and massive horde assaults. The open-world title emphasized dynamic weather, bike customization, and horde battles, earning praise for its immersive world despite launch bugs.

ArtStation – Days Gone: Deacon St. John
A PS5 remaster launched April 2025, boosting concurrent players, but Bend Studio shifted to a new live-service IP, quashing Days Gone 2 hopes. Sony’s film adaptation, penned by Oscar-nominated Sheldon Turner (X-Men: First Class, The Longest Yard), was eyed for production as early as 2022, with Outlander’s Sam Heughan circling the Deacon role. Deadline reported Heughan’s fit for the rugged biker, but silence followed amid PlayStation Productions’ packed slate: God of War (Amazon), Horizon (Netflix), and Gran Turismo (already released).

GamesHub’s January 2026 check-in questioned if the project lives: “Sony was reportedly ready to start production in 2022… we have heard very little.” IGN lists it TBA for 2026 or beyond, amid successes like Mario’s $1.3B box office.
X chatter remains sparse for the fan trailer, with broader Days Gone talk focusing on remaster mods and sequel pleas. One post lamented Sony’s priorities: “Days Gone 2? Who asked for more biker zombie slop,” reflecting divided fanbase.<post:61></post:61> Reddit’s r/DaysGone dissects stalled movie odds, citing Heughan’s contract rumors.
The trailer’s appeal lies in its high-octane vision: Gyllenhaal’s brooding intensity suits Deacon’s sarcasm and loss; Statham’s brawn nails Boozer’s amputee rage. Scenes mash game assets with AI faces, horde chases, and bike drifts through storms – evoking Sons of Anarchy meets The Walking Dead.
PlayStation Productions thrives post-Uncharted and Gran Turismo, but Days Gone’s niche (underrated gem vs. critical pans) risks shelfware. Turner’s script, per early reports, stays faithful to Pacific Northwest survival. If greenlit, 2027 aligns with God of War series filming.
Similar fan trailers – Gyllenhaal with John Cena or Natalie Portman – proliferate, signaling demand. As 2026 State of Play looms, a real tease could materialize. For now, this concept fuels the fire: Will Deacon ride to screens, or fade like Freaker ashes?
