Shortly after the release of the first posters a few hours ago, Blumhouse Productions has premiered the teaser trailer for its film adaptation of the video game franchise “Five Nights at Freddy’s”.
The story follows a troubled security guard (Josh Hutcherson) as he begins working at the now-defunct family-friendly Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza.
While spending his first night on the job, he realizes the night shift at Freddy’s won’t be so easy to make it through as the giant animatronic creatures turn deadly and can move when not being looked at.
The trailer shows off some shots very familiar to those with the game along with a glimpse of some of the evil animatronics at work. Matthew Lillard, Piper Rubio, Elizabeth Lail, Mary Stuart Masterson, Lucas Grant, Kat Conner Sterling and Jessica Blackmore co-star.
Emma Tammi (“The Wind”) is directing the film, while Jim Henson’s Creature Shop will work alongside Blumhouse to bring the game’s killer animatronics to life.
Tammi co-wrote the script with Seth Cuddeback and the game’s creator Scott Cawthon. Cawthon and Jason Blum will produce.
Universal Pictures will open the film in cinemas on October 27th with a wide release. In addition, the film will be getting a Peacock streaming premiere day and date with its theatrical release.
