We’ve known for a long time now that Scott Cawthon’s Five Nights at Freddy’s video game series would be getting a live-action remake. Although initially estimated for a 2020 release (and obviously that didn’t happen), there’s no confirmed release date as of yet. Then, to make matters worse, filming was scheduled to begin Spring 2021, but was delayed because of Scott Cawthon’s retirement. Eventually, after several stoppages, we have some confirmation that filming will start February 2023; Emma Tammi will be directing and Jim Henson’s Creature Shop building the film’s animatronic cast. Speaking of cast, the Five Nights at Freddy’s movie has gained its first official cast members — and they’re some pretty famous names.
Both Scream‘s Matthew Lillard and The Hunger Games‘ Josh Hutcherson have been snagged as cast members of Blumhouse’s live-action Five Nights at Freddy’s movie. Back in 2015, Warner Bros. Pictures announced in April that it had acquired the series’ film rights and Roy Lee, David Katzenberg, and Seth Grahame-Smith were scheduled to produce. From 2015 to 2020 and beyond, the production suffered further delays, but in 2018, the first draft was completed. And the rest is history. It really seems to be full-steam ahead right now, though, especially with the announcement of Lillard and Hutcherson joining the cast.
