Five Nights at Freddys live action
Show It has been a long time coming, but Blumhouse has finally confirmed the Five Nights At Freddy's movie is moving ahead. A Five Nights at Freddy’s movie has been in development for quite a while now, but finally, Blumhouse has officially announced the film is heading into production. Based on the popular horror games that sees players attempting to survive five nights in a creepy pizza shop where a bunch of haunted animatronic characters are stalking the halls with murder in mind, the movie adaptation has been discussed for the last seven years and seemed like one of those projects that was never going manage to make it to the finish line. Five Nights at Freddy’s has spawned a number of game variants, and there have been plenty of ideas for a movie being discussed and abandoned over the last few years. Previous reports have suggested that a movie plotline would essentially delve into the usual horror trope of “teenagers stumbling upon abandoned building,” but this was dropped pretty much as soon as it was suggested. Another pitch included adapting the Five Nights at Freddy’s novel, Silver Eyes. Now it seems that Blumhouse has finally managed to nail down something workable for the franchise, as Jason Blum revealed. He said:
Five Nights at Freddy’s Will Bring in Jim Henson’s Creature Shop According to details revealed about the movie, Five Nights at Freddy’s will stick pretty close to the lore of the original game, following a new security guard working at Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza. The film will be produced by Blum along with the game’s creator Scott Cawthon and will be directed by Emma Tammi. When it comes to the movie’s central terrifying animatronic characters, the Jim Henson Creature Workshop is on board to bring the movie’s villains to life, suggesting that the movie will be a very practical effects affair. Of course, Blumhouse is not known for making many one-shot movies in the horror genre, and that could well mean that this will be the first of many Five Nights at Freddy’s movies. The franchise has already expanded beyond several games to include a number of novels and story collections, and this could certainly be one of the reasons that Blumhouse has been keen to get involved. Having produced many successful and long-lasting movie franchises such as The Purge and Insidious, it would not be surprising to see Five Nights At Freddy’s become an annual Halloween event if the first movie becomes a box office hit. The film is set to start filming early in 2023. There is currently no word of when the movie will hit cinemas, but it could be possible that it will be seen as early as Halloween 2023. Blumhouse is ready to spend “Five Nights at Freddy’s.” The venerable horror production company has set Emma Tammi (“The Wind”) to direct an adaptation of the popular video game series, set in a Chuck E. Cheese-like children’s restaurant called Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza, where the animatronic creatures within go on a killing rampage after closing time. Tammi, game creator Scott Cawthon and Seth Cuddeback are writing the script. Cawthon and Jason Blum will produce the film through Blumhouse in association with Striker Entertainment. Russell Binder is an executive producer. Jim Henson’s Creature Shop are handling the creation of the evil, murderous children’s mascots. Filming is scheduled to begin in February 2023. Launched in 2014 for PC and consoles, the “Five Nights at Freddy’s” video game series quickly developed a robust and inventive fan base due in part to its unusual approach to survival horror gameplay. Rather than navigate the restaurant or fight off the rampaging animatronics, the game places the player in the role of the night watchman, who must remain in their office and use a limited number of grainy security cameras feeds and electronic door controls to track the movements of the creatures. If the player survives five nights — and a subsequent bonus night — they effectively win the game (by getting fired). Subsequent sequels expanded the scope of the world of the game and its macabre mythology, which were further expanded with a profusion of tie-in novels and other spin-offs. A film adaptation was originally set up at Warner Bros. and Vertigo Entertianment in 2015, but subsequently landed at Blumhouse. “In meeting with Emma, I felt she had a great understanding of the franchise, and really felt that she could craft something that would please the fanbase and keep people on the edge of their seats,” Cawthon said of the director in a statement. Blumhouse chief Jason Blum announced Tammi’s involvement and that the project was a go on Twitter on Wednesday. Tammi is repped by CAA, Atlas Artists and Jackoway Austen Tyerman Wertheimer Mandelbaum Morris Bernstein Trattner & Klein.
