We’re under two weeks from the release of the Five Nights at Freddy’s movie, so press for the video game adaptation is ramping up. Today we have a behind-the-scenes video featuring stars Josh Hutcherson and Matthew Lillard, director Emma Tammi, and a look at the people behind the animatronics from the Jim Henson Company.
Five Nights at Freddy’s Movie: Who Wants Pizza?
The Five Nights at Freddy’s movie tells the story of a troubled security guard as he begins working at the dilapidated Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza. During his first night on the job, he realizes the night shift at Freddy’s won’t be as dull as it seems because the animatronics come to life, and are far from friendly.
The movie stars Josh Hutcherson (Ultraman, The Hunger Games), 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 (Scooby Doo, Scream). Five Nights at Freddy’s is directed by Emma Tammi (The Wind, Blood Moon) and is written by Scott Cawthon, Emma Tammi, and Seth Cuddeback.
Five Nights at Freddy’s made back its budget and more ahead of release due to the sale of its streaming & theatrical distribution rights. With a strong fandom and trailers showing the film might be a decent adaptation, another smash for the most successful horror studio around could be on the cards.
Five Nights at Freddy’s will be released in theaters and on Peacock on October 27, 2023.
