Vandaag is bekend geworden dat de jumpscare game Five Nights at Freddy's een film gaat krijgen. Wat natuurlijk op een goede en een slechte manier gebracht kan worden. Nu leert de ervaring dat de meeste films gebaseerd op een video game (met uitzonderingen) zwaar kut zijn en ik vrees dat dit niet anders zal gaan worden.

The feature adaptation will be produced by Roy Lee of Vertigo Entertainment as well as Seth Grahame-Smith and David Katzenberg of KatzSmith Productions.

The game takes place in Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, a darker version of Chuck-E-Cheese, where an animatronic animal band performs kiddy songs by day, and goes on murderous rampages by night. The goal of the game is survive a night locked inside, knowing that a furry death machine might jump out of the dark at any moment.

"We're looking forward to working with Scott to make an insane, terrifying and weirdly adorable movie," said Grahame-Smith.

"The story really lends itself to being a movie and it taps into a largely unexplored niche of horror that a lot of people will be able to relate to," said Cawthon.

The project is currently out to writers.
