The 5 Nights at Freddys movie had its director’s name in October, and now it has gotten two stars. Both Matthew Lillard and Josh Hutcherson, known for his role as Peeta Mellark in the Hunger Games, were cast for the horror film.
There’s no confirmation who they’ll be playing in Deadlines. In New Orleans, the production will also start in February.
This long-delayed live-action movie will be based on the popular horror video game created by Scott Cawthon, who co-written the screenplay with Emma Tammi and Seth Cuddeback. Jim Hensons Creature Shop work was also working with Blumhouse to live the horrible animatronics.
The original Seven Nights at Freddysgame challenges players to live for five nights as a guard at an improv pizza restaurant where homicide, and other possessions of an animatronic are on their way to the streets of frenzy. The series was a multi-million-dollar project.
The Five Nights of Freddysmovie will be produced by Cawthon and Blum, with Russell Binder being executive producer. Before Tammi joined the director’s chair, directorChris Columbus was previously involved in the project.
