‘Five Nights at Freddy’s’ Creator Reveals First Draft of Film Script Complete + More
When we last heard about Five Nights at Freddy’s, the film was reportedly being directed by Chris Columbus. That was seven months ago, and not much has popped up since then. Well, FNAF creator Scott Cawthon broke his silence on a recent Steam Community forum post to talk about just what’s going on not only with the movie, but a bunch of FNAF things.
For starters, Cawthon says that he’s been working with Kira Breed-Wrisley (his cowriter on the FNAF books) to get a first draft of the film’s script completed, which he has done! According to Cawthon, he presented the script to Jason Blum, who after reading it, “thought it was great, although it will still need some work.” The story focuses on the setting and events of the first game.
Cawthon also says that if they get a green light to make a second film (for which he’s already written an outline), that one would be based on the second game.
Cawthon also mentions that the VR and Augmented Reality FNAF games are coming along, although the AR game is “still in its infancy”. The VR game has its Tech Demo completed, which Cawthon has played, saying that the title screen along was “very unsettling”. He even told the studio working on the game that if he ever felt comfortable testing the game, “then they aren’t doing their job!” If you’re jonsing for a fix, you can always check out this fan VR game.
Lastly, when it comes to additional games in the series, Cawthon remains coy, giving a “maybe, maybe not” response. He does have an idea of a side project that would be “just for fun, in the spirit of Foxy Fighters, or a mash-up of games similar to Foxy Fighters, in the vein of Update 2, where many games connected to create a single experience.”
However, he does mention that there will be console ports of the original games, with a deal signed and more news on the ports “coming soon!”
Stay tuned, as always.

‘Hellraiser: Resurrections’ – BOOM! Studios Event Unleashes Five Brand New One-Shot Comics [Exclusive]
BOOM! Studios recently announced that three classic Clive Barker Hellraiser comic books are coming back to shelves, and we’ve got another exciting exclusive for you today.
Bloody Disgusting can exclusively report that BOOM! Studios will return to the labyrinthine horrors of Clive Barker’s legendary Hellraiser universe with five all-new one-shots this Fall!
A brand new generation of creators will explore the untold corners of Clive Barker’s infernal mythology, revisiting iconic Cenobites while introducing terrifying new stories that expand the boundaries of the Hellscape itself with Hellraiser: Resurrections.
Each week through the month of September, a new chapter of damnation arrives, revealing the forces gathering in the shadows. The descent begins with HELLRAISER: RESURRECTIONS – NEW WOUNDS #1 from writer Mike Costa and artist Paco Camallonga as they draw readers into the hedonistic world of Hellraiser.
When an investigation into the mysterious Puzzle Box goes sideways, the gateways to Hell open anew.
Then, hear the unmistakable chattering of death itself in HELLRAISER: RESURRECTIONS – THE ONANISTIC RITUAL #1 from writer Zac Thompson and artist Gavin Mitchell.
The Chatterer bares his teeth for a brand-new mission. His goal? To reclaim his rightful place as the right hand of the Hell Priest himself!
Next, venture deeper into the hierarchy of Hell with HELLRAISER: RESURRECTIONS – THE DEEP GOSPEL #1 from writer Tini Howard and artist Jenna Cha.
The Female Cenobite was dead. Or close to it…until the Engineer found her. But when she rejects the Engineer’s plans for her remaking, she’s cast down into the harrowing Nidus: the place where the larval stage of Cenobites fight to survive. She’s been here before and made it out alive—and she’ll do it again.
The horrors continue in HELLRAISER: RESURRECTIONS – HELL’S COUNCIL #1 from writer Nero Villagallos O’Reilly and artist Francesca Ciregia.
We saw the fall of Butterball at the end of Hellbound: Hellraiser II. Now we’ll witness his rise as the wounded Cenobite is taken in by a mysterious do-gooder who slowly nurses him back to health, all while worming her way into his brain…and maybe even his heart?
Finally, the event culminates with HELLRAISER: RESURRECTIONS – THE RETURN OF THE PRIEST #1 from writer Sarah Gailey and artist Alessio Avallone.
Caught in the sensory deprivation of Middle Hell, Elliot Spencer suffers the worst fate: no feeling at all. When the glory of Leviathan’s light finally sears through him, granting him the gift of pain—it’s revelatory. The Hell Priest must journey to remake himself and gather his Gash once more to bring the cherished blessing of pain to all that deserve it.
From fresh visions of beloved Cenobites to horrifying new revelations hidden within the depths of Hell, Hellraiser: Resurrections serves as both a celebration of Clive Barker’s enduring mythology and the first chapter of an exciting new era for the franchise. The series kicks off a new publishing initiative that will bring a new Hellraiser ongoing series and miniseries to life through 2027.
Hellraiser: Resurrections begins this September with five weekly one-shots from BOOM! and distributed by Penguin Random House. You can preorder the series at your local comic shops and digitally through major content providers, including Kindle, iBooks, and Google Play.
