The Five Nights at Freddy’s collection of horror video games could also be developing on its tenth birthday, however for an enormous market—largely youngsters, even when they had been by no means the unique, meant viewers—it’s nonetheless an enormous deal. Which, alongside nostalgia for older gamers, would possibly clarify why solely now is FNaF getting a film.

The movie—out in theatres in October—simply dropped its first trailer, and if nothing else, it’s wanting extremely trustworthy to the supply materials:

The movie follows a troubled safety guard as he begins working at Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza. While spending his first night time on the job, he realizes the night time shift at Freddy’s gained’t be really easy to make it via.

This film has been a very long time coming! Not simply because the franchise itself is so outdated, however as a result of plans for an enormous display adaptation date all the way in which again to 2015, once we first posted that Warner Bros. had been serious about making it, with Roy Lee of Vertigo Entertainment (Run All Night, The Ring, The Grudge) hooked up, together with Seth Grahame-Smith and David Katzenberg of KatzSmith Productions (Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter and Pride and Prejudice and Zombies).

That undertaking died two years later, when collection creator Scott Cawthorn posted on Steam in February 2017:

Hey guys,

I do know that I promised some film information by the tip of the month, so right here it’s. However, understand that there are nonetheless some essential discussions in progress, so the quantity of data that I can share is extraordinarily restricted. In reality, even the knowledge that I can share must stay considerably cryptic.

The actuality is that final yr the FNaF film was met with a number of delays and roadblocks, some involving issues inside the film trade as an entire. As a end result, as of proper now, the film is again at sq. one.

However, relying in your viewpoint, that’s not essentially a foul factor. It’s dangerous as a result of the film is in its early levels once more (so don’t count on a trailer anytime quickly), nevertheless it’s good as a result of I wish to make it possible for the suitable film will get made, and issues are on observe proper now for that to occur.

I’m additionally going to be concerned with the film from day one this time, and that’s one thing extraordinarily vital to me. I need this film to be one thing that I’m excited for the fanbase to see.

The film has since discovered its strategy to Universal, surviving all the pieces from personnel adjustments (although Cawthorn has remained hooked up all through) to script points.

Five Nights at Freddy’s stars Josh Hutcherson (The Hunger Games) as Mike Schmidt, whereas Matthew Lillard (!) and Mary Stuart Masterson (!!) may also be showing. It’s out in theatres on October 27, with a simultaneous launch on NBC/Universal’s streaming service Peacock.
