Blumhouse

Blumhouse has released a second trailer for its Five Nights at Freddy’s live-action movie adaptation coming this fall. Directed by Emma Tammi (The Wind, Blood Moon) and written by Tammi, Scott Cawthon, and Seth Cuddeback, the film is based on the Five Nights at Freddy’s game series created by Cawthon, which has become a cultural phenomenon.

The film follows a troubled security guard as he begins working at Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza. While spending his first night on the job, he realizes the night shift at Freddy’s won’t be so easy to make it through.

The film stars Josh Hutcherson (Ultraman, The Hunger Games franchise), Elizabeth Lail (You, Mack & Rita), Piper Rubio (Holly & Ivy, Unstable), Kat Conner Sterling (We Have a Ghost, 9-1-1), with Mary Stuart Masterson (Blindspot, Fried Green Tomatoes) and Matthew Lillard (Good Girls, Scream).

Fans of the video game franchise have asked for a live-action adaptation that uses practical effects and animatronics rather than CGI. Blumhouse CEO and producer Jason Blum stated in August 2022 that they will get their wish. Along with a photo from Jim Henson’s Creature Shop, he tweeted, “It’s great to be working with Jim Henson’s Creature Shop. Their experience and expertise with animatronics is absolutely killer!”

The original FNaF game was released in 2014, and it has generated eight sequels and spin-offs, with additional projects in development. Players assume the role of a night security guard at Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza, who must survive his shifts while defending himself from possessed animatronic characters. Jumpscares and security cams are frequently used.

The game’s success has expanded into other media, including novels and every type of merchandise imaginable. The franchise has maintained a loyal fanbase that grows with each new title that gets released.

Five Nights at Freddy’s will stream exclusively on Peacock starting October 27th, 2023. Check out the new trailer below!
