“Five Nights at Freddy’s” is directed by Emma Tammi from a script she co-wrote with Scott Cawthon and Seth Cuddeback. Cawthon created the “Five Nights at Freddy’s” video game series.
Jim Henson’s Creature Shop created the film’s iconic animatronic characters.
In 2021, producer Jason Blum spoke to Collider about the challenges of developing the script.
“The film is really tough to crack. We’ve written multiple scripts, and we’ve got where we’re threading a needle, which is doing justice to Five Nights at Freddy’s and making Scott [Cawthon] happy,” he said, We Got This Covered reports.
“The only way that we would go about it is giving Scott … I don’t want to do something that Scott doesn’t like. Let me say that a different way. I don’t have the right to do anything Scott doesn’t like. Basically, Scott has kind of like the equivalent of final cut,” he shared. “And it’s taken longer than I hoped to get the right story. But we’re a long ways from giving up. And I’m confident, eventually, I will figure it out.“
“Five Nights at Freddy’s” hits theaters and streaming on Peacock on October 27.
