The movie adaptation of horror game franchise Five Nights at Freddy’s is just a few months away from its October 27 debut, and like many video game films, production on it has been in the works since at least 2015. Now, with Jason Blum (The Purge, Split, M3GAN) producing it, it’s finally got a release date, though it wasn’t an easy road to get there. According to a new interview, Blum was “made fun of” for taking on the project.
Originally released on Windows PC in 2014, Five Nights at Freddy’s is a spooky point-and-click adventure game set in a fictional pizzeria beset by possessed animatronics who stalk the premise at night. Played mostly through security cameras, players must survive evening after evening with the deadly robot animals. The series has gotten three main sequels and a bunch of spin-offs, with versions coming to consoles, mobile platforms, and even VR headsets.
In 2015, it was announced that Warner Bros. Pictures would bring the franchise to theaters via a film adaptation, though initial efforts fell through. Eventually the IP landed with Universal Pictures, with Emma Tammi and Jason Blum taking on director and producer roles respectively.
