“Five Nights at Freddy’s is more consistently asked about than any other film I’ve ever worked on, and I’m thrilled to confirm it’s finally happening! With Emma Tammi at the helm, we’re committed to making Scott’s vision of the movie come to life. Rest assured, it will be and is worth the wait.” – Producer Jason Blum

Jim Henson’s Creature Shop will also be helping develop the animatronics for the film. Production is expected to begin filming this February.
