The "Five Nights at Freddy's" movie is currently in the works, but there are some who think that it might be a box office flop. There are also others who believe that the film adaptation will be horrific and successful.
According to the Bitbag, the "Five Nights at Freddy's" games do not follow the usual three-act narrative, composed of a beginning, middle and ending. The games have a plot, but these generally revolve around the person working in the pizza parlor in the first-person perspective. There is no introduction, and the storyline somewhat jumps straight into the conflict of having scary robots wreak havoc when the place closes for the day.
Cinema Blend noted that fans were also worried that the "Five Nights at Freddy's" movie did not feature a lot of updates regarding its development. There is still no news about the cast members. Gil Kenan was set to direct the "Five Nights at Freddy's" movie. Kenan will also write the screenplay with Tyler Burton Smith. Seth Grahame-Smith and Roy Lee will serve as the film producers, while Adam Stone, David Katzenberg and Jay Ireland will executive produce.
There were some who thought that the "Five Nights at Freddy's" movie was cancelled due to the lack of casting updates and news about the progress of the project. However, creator Scott Cawthon affirmed fans that the "Five Nights at Freddy's" film is still in the works. Fans were hoping that the people behind the film would soon give them some hints about the plot and characters at least. A "Five Nights at Freddy's" movie trailer would help create buzz and confirm that it will launch soon.
The dying popularity of the "Five Nights at Freddy's" games also did not help maintain the initial excitement after the movie project was announced. The first "Five Nights at Freddy's" game was a big hit, while the second and third were acceptable. The fourth deviated from its predecessors, and the spin-off role-playing game garnered negative reviews. In the meantime, the proposed launch date of the "Five Nights at Freddy's" movie is on June 8, 2018.
