Five Nights at Freddy's is an upcoming horror thriller film written by Scott Cawthon and directed/produced by Jason Blum. Although most details surrounding the film are unknown, according to Jason Blum it is scheduled to be released in 2023.[1]
Premise[edit]
The film follows Mike Schmidt, a security guard employed at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza.
Production[edit]
Warner Bros. Pictures announced in April 2015 that it had acquired the series' film rights, with Roy Lee, David Katzenberg, and Seth Grahame-Smith scheduled to produce. Grahame-Smith said that they would collaborate with Cawthon "to make an insane, terrifying and weirdly adorable movie".[2] In July 2015, Gil Kenan signed to direct the adaptation and co-write it with Tyler Burton Smith.[3]
In January 2017, Cawthon said that due to "problems within the movie industry as a whole", the film "was met with several delays and roadblocks" and was "back at square one". He promised "to be involved with the movie from day one this time, and that's something extremely important to me. I want this movie to be something that I'm excited for the fanbase to see."[4][5] Cawthon tweeted a picture of Blumhouse Productions in March of that year, implying that the film had a new production company.[6][7] Producer Jason Blum confirmed the news two months later, saying that he was excited about working closely with Cawthon on the adaptation.[8] In June 2017, Kenan said that he was no longer directing the film after Warner Bros. Pictures' turnaround.[9] It was announced in February 2018 that Chris Columbus would direct and write the film, also producing it with Blum and Cawthon.[10] In August 2018, Cawthon announced that the script's first draft (involving the events of the first game) was completed and a second and third film were possible.[11] Later that month, Blum tweeted that the film was planned for a 2020 release.[12] However, a few months later, in November 2018, Cawthon announced that the film's script had been scrapped and it would be further delayed.[13] After almost two years without any subsequent announcements, Blum confirmed in June 2020 that the movie was still in active development,[14] which he reiterated in November 2020.[15]
On November 20, 2020, Cawthon announced in a Reddit post discussing the many scrapped screenplays for the film that filming for the movie, referring to its script as the "Mike" screenplay, would begin in spring 2021.[16] However, Blum revealed in September 2021 that the film still had script issues and that Columbus was no longer attached to the project as director.[17] In March 2022, Blum stated that news on the film is "dangerously close" and that it could release in 2023.[18]
