Who's in Five Nights at Freddy's?
In case you missed the first movie, let's catch up on its lineup. Five Nights at Freddy's starred Hutcherson and Matthew Lillard, to name just a few notable actors. The plot revolves around a security guard, new to the job at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, who quickly realizes that his night shift is anything but ordinary.
It's not just any pizza joint, because when the sun goes down, Freddy Fazbear's Pizza transforms into a horrifying, trap-filled nightmare. As the security guard, you need to survive until morning, while knowing that a killer animatronic character might pounce at any moment.
A Bit of Background
Five Nights at Freddy's transition from a video game to a silver screen sensation wasn't always smooth. Initially, Warner Bros. acquired the project, but it changed hands and landed with Blumhouse. The initial screenplay underwent several iterations before the final product by Emma Tammi, Seth Cuddeback, and video game creator Scott Cawthon met the approval for production.
Produced by Blumhouse, in association with Striker Entertainment, the film successfully brought the terrifying world of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza and its animatronic inhabitants to life.
