According to The Hollywood Reporter, Warner Bros. has snapped up the movie rights to the video game franchise Five Nights at Freddy’s, with Roy Lee, Seth Grahame-Smith and David Katzenberg set to produce.
“We’re looking forward to working with Scott to make an insane, terrifying and weirdly adorable movie,” said Grahame-Smith, with creator Scott Cawthon adding that, “The story really lends itself to being a movie and it taps into a largely unexplored niche of horror that a lot of people will be able to relate to.
Five Nights at Freddy’s “takes place in Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza, a darker version of Chuck-E-Cheese, where an animatronic animal band performs kiddy songs by day, and goes on murderous rampages by night. The goal of the game is survive a night locked inside, knowing that a furry death machine might jump out of the dark at any moment.”
Released last year, the point-and-click adventure has already spawned two sequels, and is available for PC, Anroid and iOS.
