We’ve known that the Five Nights at Freddy’s Movie was a possibility since April. But we’ve just learned that director Gil Kenan has joined the project. The question for many Five Nights at Freddy’s fan was, what will the movie be like?
Thankfully, Gil Kenan is more than happy to answer some of our questions. You can check out his twitter page for all the questions he’s answered, but here are a few highlights.
Gil’s first tweet about the movie and according to his Instagram the Henson Creature Studio is building the animatronics.
@TheRealRoscoe I want this to be crazy practical – that's what makes animatronics so unnerving – they're REAL

We can expect a low amount of CGI, or at least a high about of practical effects, including the animatronics themselves.
@TheFrodo2 @NomNomNomNation canon/universe. Not a story we've seen before.

The movie will have its own story, while making sure to focus on the lore accordingly.

Gil is also determined to make Five Nights at Freddy’s the first ‘good’ movie adapted from a video game.

Gil has admitted to being a fan of the games himself and seems excited to share that passion with his audience.
@Crisis113 thanks. The passion for games fuels me too. I think it's cool to remember how lucky we are to have this space to share that.

So it seems that the Five Nights at Freddy’s movie, which seems like the ultimate cash-grab project could turn out to be something with heart behind it? Scott even seems to involved in someway.
@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

Furthermore, we’ve even seen what a good FNAF movie could look like, albeit this has a little more CGI.
Ultimately, we’ll have to wait for further information before we can make a final verdict. But at least it seems like it’ll be approached as more than a cash-grab (We’re looking at you Uwe Boll).
