THE WAY OF FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDY’S

In February 2018, Blumhouse announced the film adaptation of the video game, signing Chris Columbus as director, thus ending a year-long search, since in March 2017 the production company won the rights to the material previously belonging to Warner Bros. , a study that tried years before without success, to adapt the video game to the big screen. By the summer of 2020, Blum assured that the company was continuing to work on the film.
