You are going to have to wait a little bit longer.<\/p>\n<p>The game&#8217;s creator Scott Cawthon took to <a href=\"https:\/\/steamcommunity.com\/app\/871720\/discussions\/0\/1733210552660120120\/\">Stream<\/a> to give fans a status update on the film. He broke the bad news&#8211;that the film&#8217;s script will be scrapped and rewritten from scratch because he wasn&#8217;t satisfied with it:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>OK guys, I had a script written; Jason liked it, and Chris Columbus liked it too, but I tossed it. I had a different idea for it, one that I liked better. I take responsibility for this delay; it\u2019s my fault.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s been a real challenge for everyone, including myself, to come up with a good screenplay for this. But I\u2019m determined to find the right story. I\u2019m sticking to what I\u2019ve always said, either the right movie gets made or no movie gets made. I hate delaying a project that\u2019s already seen so many delays, but I have to go with my instincts on what I think will be exciting and interesting, and what I think the fanbase will really want to see. If that means that I have to start over ten more times, then that\u2019s what I&#8217;m going to do. The good thing is that each attempt gets better and better, in my opinion. So, despite the delays, it&#8217;s going in the right direction.<\/p>\n<p>One thing that most of you might want to know is that the movie (and sequels I hope) will take place in the universe of FNAF 1-3 only. The games after Five Nights at Freddy&#8217;s 3 will not exist in the movie universe. Like it or hate it, I felt that this was the best portion of the storyline to really focus in on.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This is interesting news, because back in February, Chris Columbus was supposed to write and direct the film.<\/p>\n<p>Five Nights at Freddy\u2019s is a 2014 indie video game created by Cawthon which places the player in the Chuck E. Cheese-esque Freddy Fazbear\u2019s Pizza as a night watchmen. Unfortunately for the player, the animatronic animals come to life at night and have developed a taste for killing. The player has to avoid the robots in order to survive until morning.<\/p>\n<p>The game was a smash success, spawning five sequels and a ton of tie-in merchandise such as T-shirts, toys, novelizations, costumes and much more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\">The script for the FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDY&#8217;s is going to be scrapped and started over because the game&#8217;s creator wasn&#8217;t satisfied with it. <\/div>\n<p> <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/2018\/11\/13\/five-nights-at-freddys-film-delayed-and-its-all-scott-cawthons-fault\/\" title=\"FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDY&#8217;S Film Delayed And It&#8217;s All Scott Cawthon&#8217;s Fault\">[click for more]<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[84],"tags":[757,9684,10268],"series":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-45069","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-news","7":"tag-chris-columbus","8":"tag-five-nights-at-freddys","9":"tag-scott-cawthon"},"aioseo_notices":[],"nelio_content":{"autoShareEndMode":"never","automationSources":{"useCustomSentences":false,"customSentences":[]},"efiAlt":"","efiUrl":"","followers":[4],"highlights":[],"isAutoShareEnabled":false,"networkImageIds":[],"permalinkQueryArgs":[],"series":[],"suggestedReferences":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45069","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=45069"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45069\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=45069"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=45069"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=45069"},{"taxonomy":"series","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/series?post=45069"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
