The forthcoming American supernatural horror film Five Nights at Freddy’s is being directed by Emma Tammi from a script she co-wrote with Scott Cawthon and Seth Cuddeback. It is based on the video game series of the same name, which Cawthon invented and developed. Blumhouse Productions was named as the production company in March 2017. In February 2018, Chris Columbus was supposed to script and helm it. In October 2022, Tammi took over as director and co-writer when Columbus departed the project. In New Orleans, principal photography commenced in February 2023 and was completed on April 3 of the same year.

Five Nights at Freddy’s: What is the film about?

The protagonist of Five Nights at Freddy’s is a young guy named Mike Schmidt who accepts the position of nighttime security guard at Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza, a family entertainment complex that includes a pizza and an indoor amusement park. When Mike gets adjusted to his new work, he quickly learns something unsettling: the many (and quite frightening) mechanical mascots employed to amuse families during the daytime are more than just your average robot. In reality, they are still alive and wracked with rage; they will kill anyone left within the structure after midnight. However, none of this is good news for night-shift guard Mike, who must make the most of the little resources available to him to protect himself from the dangerous bots and endure the excruciating hours between 12 a.m. and 6 a.m.

In addition to that, as per the reports, the official synopsis of the film reads, “The film follows a troubled security guard as he begins working at Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza. While spending his first night on the job, he realizes the night shift at Freddy’s won’t be so easy to make it through.”
