Yesterday, Deadline reported that Gil Kenan (Monster House, Poltergeist remake) was set to direct the Five Nights at Freddy’s movie. Since then, Kenan has been answering all sorts of questions on Twitter and Instagram—and these juicy details give us a better sense of what we can expect from the movie.(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); The Animatronics 1) Y1 Games Here’s a sneak peek at what we can expect the Freddy Fazbear gang to look like: animatronic forever 💘 pic.twitter.com/NHvo5Edip6 — Gil Kenan (@gilkenan) July 29, 2015 2) According to Kenan’s Instagram, the animatronics will be constructed at the Henson Creature Shop. Meaning: the movie will be full of practical effects. @gomotion100 @RyanTVGames I can sure as hell try! — Gil Kenan (@gilkenan) July 29, 2015 3) Here’s why practical effects were chosen over CGI: @TheRealRoscoe I want this to be crazy practical – that's what makes animatronics so unnerving – they're REAL — Gil Kenan (@gilkenan) July 30, 2015 The Story 4) For those of you worried about how a movie would even work—at the very least, we know that Kenan is a big fan of the games. @dirtyblondhotie I'm a big FNAF fan myself! The depth of the game storyline is amazing… Scott is one hell of a world builder! 🐻 — Gil Kenan (@gilkenan) July 29, 2015 @CoughMuffin the story is what makes me most excited about this one… the mythology runs deep, and is truly scary 🐻 — Gil Kenan (@gilkenan) July 29, 2015 @IdkWhat2Put1313 @wbpictures the lore of the game is the movie's fuel. I'm making this film for ALL the FNAF fans, not just kids. 🐻 — Gil Kenan (@gilkenan) July 29, 2015 Not to mention, Scott Cawthon—the creator of the games—is going to be heavily involved with the movie, Kenan says. @LiamJoly1 I made him a promise at the start of this that I want him to be involved in a real way. Scott IS fnaf — Gil Kenan (@gilkenan) July 29, 2015 5) Don’t expect a rehash of one of the games. Kenan says the movie is sticking to the lore, while exploring its own thing, too: @TheFrodo2 @NomNomNomNation canon/universe. Not a story we've seen before. — Gil Kenan (@gilkenan) July 29, 2015 While not set in stone yet, this story won’t stick to one locations, as the games have done: @connor_g15 Still writing! But will def be more than one location. — Gil Kenan (@gilkenan) July 30, 2015 And there’s even the possibility we’ll see some familiar stuff too… @RubberRomero 👍🐻📞 — Gil Kenan (@gilkenan) July 29, 2015 @NathanFazbear 👍🐻 — Gil Kenan (@gilkenan) July 29, 2015 All of this combines to give Y1 App me Y1 Game some hope about the Five Nights movie. I’m particularly excited to see what the animatronics look like once finished, and I’m curious to see what Kenan does with the story. We’ll keep you updated as soon as we learn more.
