Doki Doki Literature Club (film)

Doki Doki Literature Club is an upcoming romantic musical psychological horror film directed, produced, written by and starring Damien Tran and distributed by 20th Century Studios. Despite it being a live action adaptation of the video game of the same name by Dan Salvato, who contributed to the film, the film is mostly an original story.

Plot
The plot revolves around the male protagonist, played by Tran, and his relationship with the President of the literature club, Monika, as he meets her and the other club members, Sayori, Yuri and Natsuki. As he gets more emotionally attached to Monika as she starts to begin her music career, his sanity begins to fall apart as he tries to warn her about the potential different future murders of the four girls that he saw in his recurring visions.

Music
The music is composed by Benjamin Wallfisch, alongside Salvato, who also composed the score for the game.

Another song included in the soundtrack will be Memory, a song from the Broadway musical, Cats, sung by the two characters in the near end.

Trivia
