Fans of demonic bears are in luck: Video game "Five Nights at Freddy's" is getting the big screen treatment.
The Hollywood Reporter writes that Warner Bros. will distribute a film version of "Freddy's," the popular game created by Scott Cawthon. Seth Grahame-Smith ("
Dark Shadows," "
Beetlejuice 2") and David Katzenberg are producing, alongside Roy Lee. (That trio is currently at work on
Cary Fukunaga's adaptation of
Stephen King's "It.")
The game description, per THR:
The game takes place in Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, a darker version of Chuck-E-Cheese, where an animatronic animal band performs kiddy songs by day, and goes on murderous rampages by night. The goal of the game is survive a night locked inside, knowing that a furry death machine might jump out of the dark at any moment.
Grahame-Smith noted that the flick would be "an insane, terrifying and weirdly adorable movie."
"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 added.
The project is currently searching for a writer.
