Tease from Creator Hints at Blumhouse Making ‘Five Nights at Freddy’s’ Movie

Published

Ever since the game burst onto the scene and started terrifying players back in 2014, it seemed a sure thing that a Five Nights at Freddy’s movie wasn’t far behind. The hugely popular game, which has to date spawned a handful of follow-ups and even a series of novels, was acquired for a film adaptation by Warner Bros. back in 2015, but we haven’t heard a peep since then.

So what’s the latest on that project? Well, Five Nights at Freddy’s creator Scott Cawthon just posted a very interesting tweet that strongly suggests the film is coming soon…

It’s important to note that this is the first tweet Cawthon has EVER posted, so it undoubtedly means something. What does it mean? Well, we’ve heard that Warner Bros. is no longer making the movie and that Blumhouse has been one of several companies very interested in acquiring the rights. That info paired with Cawthon’s tweet tells us that Blumhouse has come aboard.

At this time, we can’t with 100% certainty say that the deal has been sealed, but we’d be very surprised if Cawthon tweeted this before it was official. We’ll report more as we learn it.

Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.

Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things),  Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.

The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).

Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.

Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.

Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.

In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
