Though I'd always figure a movie would at least show some of it via flashbacks or something.

I'll watch the trailer after work

Most of the child murder stuff were shown as cutscenes with 8 bit graphics.

The bite of 87



The question now is, Will the movie show William Afton getting springlocked? Its a gruesome death scene even if depicted in 8 bit.

It was also gruesome in the comic adaptation:

Watched the trailer. Loved seeing the people break in. It's a good way to rack up the kill count for the animatronics.

Why would an abandoned place still have money though? They busted stuff and quarters spilled out. Did no one check those before closing shop?

I'm very confused as to how the movie works. Mike got hired to watch over an abandoned pizzeria that sounds like it was closed since the 80s (assuming the movie takes place in modern day) but why exactly? I know Mike did it cause he needs the money but why do they need a security guard.

There's a lot of FNAF lore that the games explored, For example

Spoiler:

The security guard from the first game is related to William Afton, His actual name is Michael Afton.

This movie is being setup as a trilogy, Because Matthew Lillard who plays William Afton has signed on for 3 movies.

I know but that won't work under this context. Unless they never see each other face to face, there's nothing stopping Mike from saying 'wassup dad' when he sees Afton. Or Afton saying 'Oh.... it's you." if it was a phone interview.

He probably doesn't know his dad is on the phone when he calls for the job, As you can see from the previous trailer, He has a different name on the name tag, So he's using a different name to hide his true identity.

Yeah, but that's more for the audience's benefit for 'the big reveal' eventually. I mean if I was taking an interview to work for my dad, I'm pretty sure I'd recognize my dad despite a different name tag.

So....did anyone watch Willy's Wonderland? I actually didn't expect much, but enjoyed it for what it was.

I might watch this to see where it goes. I've watched enough game theory that I might be able to make sense of it.

Willy's Wonderland was fking amazing and I will fight anyone who disagrees (as the saying from the youth goes now a days).

Does anyone know if there is going to be cameos from some prominent youtubers on it? I could totally see MattPat, Markiplier and some others in it just as a thank you for making the franchise popular.

Oh, yeah, it was a crazy good flick.

Not sure about any others, but I know that Markiplier wanted to be in it, but had a scheduling conflict due to his current project.

I keep hearing that, but what exactly is his current project?

He's making a movie based on the indie game Iron Lung.

The FNAF youtubers got to be on the set of the FNAF movie, And they even get to see the animatronics up close, and they are fully functional too.

This movie has the ability to be better than Willy's Wonderland and that movie was essentially the same thing but it had Nick Cage in it.

[TheCanadiandrome]

I’m curious to see this. I’ve never played the game or games or whatever, but I more or less am some what familiar with this as I watched some YouTube videos on it

One thing I'm glad is that both Willy's Wonderland and Banana Splits went more for the 'malfunctioning robots' route and not the actual 'possessed by murdered children route' because that would have stolen FNAF's gimmick completely.

It was kinda like M3GAN being a malfunctioning robot as opposed to Chucky being a murderer-possessed doll. There would have been less comparisons had they not made a remake where Chucky was now a malfunctioning robot.

Well, I'm looking forward to this movie. Even if it's just okay, I'm still expecting it to be a fun watch. I'm still glad that they're seemingly trying to get the first game vibe and using practical effects. The animatronics look pretty impressive. Not a bunch of CGI stuff.

Coola_Yagami and I are planning to see it opening night! At the theater here, no kids are allowed in past 7:30.

That was exactly the plot of Willy's Wonderland though...
