It’s the dark counterpart to the Night at the Museum premise. Shock of all shocks, the creepy animatronic pizza animals come alive at night to wreak havoc and murder indiscriminately. The video-game series, long a Gen-Z favorite, sees the player character on a night shift at Freddy Fazbear’s pizza parlor. As Deadline previously reported, Into the Dark: Blood Moon’s Emma Tammi directs the project, which comes after films such as Willy’s Wonderland and The Banana Splits Movie got unlicensed bites of the apple. Blumhouse, the studio behind the upcoming project, shared the film’s first look on April 6, two months after production began in New Orleans in February 2023. Five Nights at Freddy’s is starting to look less like a video game and more like a Halloween horror movie.
