FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDY’S IS GETTING A FILM ADAPTATION
Five Nights at Freddy’s, the point-and-click survival horror series from developer Scott Cawthon, is getting a feature adaptation after Warner Bros. picked up the rights.

THR reports the film adaptation will be produced by Vertigo Entertainment‘s Roy Lee (Run All Night, the upcoming Poltergeist remake) along with KatzSmith Productions’ Seth Grahame-Smith and David Katzenberg (Beetlejuice 2).

Jon Berg and Nik Mavinkurve are overseeing for Warners while Adam Stone and Jay Ireland will executive produce, according the report. The project is currently out to writers.

"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," Cawthon told the publication.

“We’re looking forward to working with Scott to make an insane, terrifying and weirdly adorable movie,” said Grahame-Smith.

Five Nights at Freddy’s is set in a family fast food restaurant called Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza, where animatronic robots entertain by day and become twisted killers at night. Five Nights at Freddy's was first released last August and the third installment launched on Windows PC just last month. The game takes place 30 years after Freddy Fazbear's Pizza closed its doors, with the murderous events taking place there decades ago evolving into an urban myth.

Ugh, this would be such a good idea with the right people behind it, it's going to be beyond terrible though like all game-to-film adaptations are.

I don't understand how this has managed to get so huge. It's had what like 3 games done on it in the space of about a year?
