History of the Five Nights at Freddy film

There have been attempts to make a Five Nights at Freddy film since 2015 when the series was at its peak. The initial idea for the film was to make it into an animated feature for children, but the concept for the movie moved from animation to live-action. Blumhouse, which is known for producing and releasing smaller-scale films, eventually got into producing the Five Nights at Freddy film and brought Tammi on board.

Deadline revealed that Matthew Lillard and Josh Hutcherson are the first actors to come onboard of the Five Nights at Freddy film. Both are prolific actors, with Lillard having a history with the horror genre.
