FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDY'S Horror Movie Gets October Release Date in Theaters and Streaming
Five Nights at Freddy’s producer Jason Blum has revealed that the long-awaited film adaptation of the horror movie will be released on October 27th, 2023 simultaneously in theaters and on the Peacock streaming service. I don’t get the simultaneous release like that right now, but whatever they want to do! It’s their movie!
The movie is being directed by Emma Tammi (The Wind, Blood Moon) and it stars Matthew Lillard (Scream, SLC Punk), Josh Hutcherson (The Hunger Games), Elizabeth Lail, Piper Rubio, Kat Conner Sterling, and Mary Stuart Masterson.
The film is based on the game franchise created by Scott Cawthon, which follows “a night security guard as he begins working at Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza. While spending his first night on the job, he realizes the gig won’t be so easy as the animatronic animals that entertain kids during the day play their own sinister games at night.”
The director previously shared in a statement: “Stepping into the rich, terrifying world of Freddy’s alongside Scott Cawthon, Blumhouse and Jim Henson’s Creature Shop is beyond thrilling. I cannot wait for audiences to immerse themselves in the wild and wonderful playground we are creating.”
It was previously revealed that Jim Henson’s Creature Shop will be working alongside Blumhouse to bring the game’s animatronic creatures to life, which is exciting!
Blum said: “Five Nights at Freddy’s is more consistently asked about than any other film I’ve ever worked on, and I’m thrilled to confirm it’s finally happening! With Emma Tammi at the helm, we’re committed to making Scott’s vision of the movie come to life. Rest assured, it will be and is worth the wait.”
I hope so! I would love nothing more than for this to be a great, entertaining, and fun horror movie!
