Welcome to Freddy Fazbear's Pizza! Enjoy the show with our animatronics, featuring Freddy Fazbear himself – but always remember to keep your distance, especially once the sun has set! The Five Nights at Freddy's Movie is coming to theaters soon, and we have everything you need to know about it, including the release date, trailer, cast and more.
Five Nights at Freddy's is finally coming to theaters! The franchise originally started off as a horror game, but is now making its way to a mainstream stage for the first time.
The FNaF movie, produced by Blumhouse Productions and Striker Entertainment, is by far not the first video game franchise that was brought to theaters and TVs. Some of the latest movie adaptations include the The Last of Us series on HBO and Illumination's Super Mario Bros. Movie. Both turned out to be a huge success!

Five Nights at Freddy's also comes just in time for the spooky season. Will you bring your friends to this awesome party, or will you be stuck and defend yourself from these bloodthirsty animatronics alone?

Five Nights at Freddy's Movie: What Is Five Nights at Freddy's About?
Five Nights at Freddy's originally came as a video game to PC. It was created and published by Scott Cawthon, who has also assisted in explaining the story to the eventual writers for the movie.
In the game, you are a guard on night shift. You are placed in the office of Freddy Fazbear's pizza at 12 AM and tasked with keeping the place safe. However, the four animatronics Freddy Fazbear, Chica, Bonnie and Foxy will attempt to get into your office to scare the ever living sh*t out of you.
As the guard, you can not move out of your office seat. However, you can shut the two office doors via buttons and only via buttons, and turn on lights in certain hallways to halt the progress of the animatronics. There's also a surveillance system aiding you, allowing you to spy on the animatronics through various cameras in the building.
The twist is that every light turned on, and every door you shut will use electricity, of which you have a very limited supply. Keeping your doors shut the entire night will not work – and if you run out of electricity, an animatronic showing up in your office is only a matter of time.
Your goal is to reach 6 AM, the end of your night shift, which is also the time the animatronics give up their chase and return to their usual location. You need to survive five nights to clear the game, with the animatronics getting more and more aggressive.
Since the release of the first game in 2014, Scott Cawthon has released eight main line games and six spin-offs that dive deeper into the story of Five Nights at Freddy's. The latest installment of the series is Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach , which was released in 2021.
Five Nights at Freddy's Movie: Who Is In The Cast?
