Jason Blum Officially Announces 'FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDY'S Director And Production Date

Blumhouse along with Five Night’s At Freddy’s creator Scott Cawthon have been working on a film adaptation for the game for a few years now. Producer Jason Blum has been giving fans progress reports here and there and as of yesterday gave one of the biggest updates yet for the film.

Blum tweeted yesterday that not only will Five Nights at Freddy’s begin production early next year, in February 2023, but that The Wind director Emma Tammi is on board to helm the feature. A few weeks back Blum also confirmed that Jim Henson’s Creature shop would be handling the creation of the animatronics for the film.

This is big news considering that the film has been trying to get off the ground since 2015.

Per The Wrap, Cawthon, Tammi and Seth Cuddeback twrote the screenplay for Five Nights at Freddy’s. Blumhouse is producing the film in association with Striker Entertainment. Scott Cawthon and Jason Blum will produce the film. Russell Binder is an executive producer.

Five Nights at Freddy’s is a horror video game series in which you must survive the titular five nights at Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza from the dangers of animatronic characters.

The wildly popular survival horror video game series sees players playing as a nighttime security guard slowly realizing his overnight job won’t be so easy with the characters spring to life. Players must use security cameras, lights, doors, and vents to evade the hostile animatronics.  Five Nights at Freddy’s first launched in 2014 and has since amassed a minimum of eight games in the main series with multiple spinoff games. The potent jump scares and unsettling plot effectively catapulted the game into the zeitgeist and fans have been clamoring for a movie adaptation since.
