Months after Warner Bros. announced their plans to bring "Five Nights at Freddy's" to the big screen, more information about the development of the upcoming movie were revealed.
Film director Gil Kenan recently revealed that he will be using a completely different storyline from the widely popular indie point-and-click horror game that was created by Scott Cawthon. Christian Post reported that the "Poltergeist" director will use the same premise as the video game, but the movie will deviate from its original storyline at the same time. The report also mentioned that the upcoming "Five Nights at Freddy's" movie will use actual animatronics to feature the characters of the game.
Kenan has also posted several cryptic hints in his Instagram account lately. One of them is a photo of a damaged animatronics head of a bear, which looks like the iconic character of the creepy horror game.
More recently, the filmmaker posted a photo of colorful children's birthday party supplies. While the director did not directly confirm that the image has something to do with the movie, "Five Nights at Freddy's" fans know that the plot of the game normally revolves around children's parties.
While the cryptic images give little information about the film, Kenan's recent reply to a fan's inquiry about the film's rating provided a clue regarding the development of the film's production. According to the director, it is still too early in the film's development to think about its rating at the moment. He also revealed that he is still writing the script for the movie.
@solar_marcus Too early in the process to talk ratings -- I'm still writing :)
