‘Five Nights at Freddy’s’ Creator Reveals First Draft of Film Script Complete + More

Published

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.

Legendary Grimdark ‘Warhammer 40,000’ Artist John Blanche Has Passed Away at 78

Published

In the grim darkness of the far future there is only war, but it was a cheerful illustrator from England who helped to define the terrifying war-torn imagery that inspired what we now know as Grimdark (a hybrid genre combining horror with sci-fi/fantasy).

Unfortunately for fans of Warhammer 40,000, Trench Crusade and countless other sources of Grimdark thrills, veteran artist John Blanche passed away this week after struggling with health issues for the past few years.

While the artist retired back in 2023, he leaves us with an enormous legacy of iconic artwork that continues to inspire gamers and storytellers around the world to this very day.

The news is especially gloomy as it was only last year that Daniel Lowman and Napoleon Dynamite himself Jon Heder released The Grim & the Dark: The Search for John Blanche, a documentary following Heder’s exploration of the Grimdark genre culminating in a heartwarming encounter with Blanche in his own home.

Below is one of my favorite pieces by Blanche, his highly influential depiction of Warhammer 40k’s God-Emperor of Mankind on his Golden Throne.

We send our deepest condolences to John Blanche’s family, friends, and fans.
