Five Nights at Freddy's movie in the works at Warner Bros

[TigerClaw]

Movies are being made that is copying FNAF, Such as Willy's Wonderland, The Banana Splits Movie, and a movie called Freddys Fridays.

I'm sure the studios will want to adapt other video games that are in the style of FNAF, and there are quite a handful of them.

Freddy Fridays? Talk about on the nose.

Just saw it. It has an oddball tone and characters with very… “particular” (I think may be the word I seek) motivations. Felt a bit too long for the premise yet even with the leisurely runtime feels like several key scenes were cut for timing. Probably at least two too many human characters if not more. Very impressive effects from the Jim Henson Creature Shop though. Good use of surround sound in the theatre, I thought.

Doesn’t end on a cliffhanger but introduces more questions than it answers. Ripe for a direct sequel or a loose remake with a new cast. No post credits scene but ends on a cryptic audio message that I missed since I thought it was just setting up something visual.

Edit: Pretty much…

Matthew Lillard is good at portraying murderous psychopaths. But I’ll never not see him as Shaggy.

I'm assuming there's answers to this in the game, but... in any sequels, why would anyone go back to Freddy's?

Honestly, none of the writing in each game makes any sense.

My thoughts is some new business guy will purchase the rights and re-create a new Freddy Fazbear Pizza, not knowing the animatronics are haunted, and that Springtrap is locked inside. Or maybe they can do like FNAF 3 and make a horror attraction based on the rumors of the missing kids and whatnot.

People need paychecks though!

Ironic hen you remember Henson wanted to distance himself from TMNT after the 1990 film turned out so “dark.”

Seems fitting when he “unmasked”.

The idea has been that all the characters in the original story has been one character going to each Freddy’s looking for his father, William Afton, aka Spring Bonnie/Spring Trap/the series killer

So this is what the game is like? This looks boring and repetitive as all can be. I thought this was like a beloved computer game series from the early 2000s or 90s, not a 2014 game that plays like an old Tiger Electronics game. I can't believe this is that popular after seeing this.

Indie stuff was all the rage in 2014.

The now-controversial creator's "crisis of faith" history is an interesting new wrinkle to the story I hadn't ever looked into before:

Scott Cawthon had developed several adventure games marketed towards Christians, all of which under-performed commercially. These failures caused Cawthon to suffer a crisis of faith. He lost interest in game development until he regained it following a spiritual experience. The experience left Cawthon less inclined towards making Christian games, and he began production of the secular Five Nights at Freddy's.

After his construction and management game Chipper & Sons Lumber Co. received negative reviews, he decided to make his next game a horror-focused experience. Players commented that characters in the game were unintentionally unsettling and animatronic-like in appearance, reviewer Jim Sterling calling the game "terrifying". Although initially discouraged by this poor reception, he was inspired to make something intentionally scarier.

Cawthon developed the game alone over the course of six months, with his sons and friends serving as beta testers. He coded the game with the Clickteam Fusion 2.5 engine and used Autodesk 3ds Max to model the 3D graphics. The audio was produced with a combination of sound effects that Cawthon created himself and files that he purchased off the internet. Five Nights at Freddy's was first released for Windows via the Desura distribution platform on August 8, 2014. On August 18, it was also released via Steam. A version for Android was launched on August 26, followed by ports to iOS on September 11, and Windows Phone on December 1. Versions for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One were released on November 29, 2019.

From the game's Wiki.P.

Never heard of any of his Christian-focused pre-Freddy games.

Edit:
And, ugh, politics and gamers always get weird and petty:

EDIT x3
But... I think the guy is also suspected to be something of a groomer or at least he's got some red flags due to something related to the "Chica" character.

EDIT x 4?
But I really don't know, just repeating what I read on Tumblr last month. Somehow it all centers around....

Yeah, that's what threw me off. Of course, it was in 1990, so times might have changed.

One thing one I've heard about Cawthon, SJW trash hated him for donating for Republican party, because, "GOPs are ebil nahzis" slop thinking of leftards. Obviously, as is the case with Harry Potter it did nothing to affect popularity of the games, which proves once more how little SJW scum has power over real world and real people.

[Andrew NDB]

Christian AND republican? Oh yeah. Must be destroyed ASAP.

For the most part what captured the audience was that at the time it had reached the peak of YouTube’s “reaction” phase. And because of how the game works, it wasn’t story driven so you could check out different reactors and get different… reactions.

That plus the first games vague “story” (being all you learned was from newspaper clippings that would randomly appear) it left a lot to the inagination as it became theoru fodder.

Also helped that the first four games were all released in the same year so that way it was still in the zeitgeist.
