Filmmaker Emma Tammi is set to direct the movie adaptation of the hit video game, Five Nights at Freddy's.

The film will be backed by Blumhouse, and it is about a night security guard who begins working at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. While spending his first night on the job, he realises the gig won't be so easy as the animatronic animals that entertain kids during the day play their own sinister games at night.

There have been eight games in the video game franchise with the most recent one being, Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach, coming out in 2021. There have been six spinoff games as well as five fan-created games endorsed by Cawthon and dozens of novels and graphic novels based on the series.

The film adaptation is expected to start production in early 2023. It will be produced by Blumhouse in association with Striker Entertainment. Russell Binder will serve as an executive producer.
