Collider, who had the chance to chat with Blumhouse Productions CEO Jason Blum, learned important things about the highly anticipated Five Nights at Freddy’s project. The studio that acquired the rights to the film adaptation of the game in 2017. Chris Colombus was in charge of the project. Blum announced in this interview that Colombus was withdrawing from the project.
Colombus, who directed the first two Home Alone and Harry Potter films, was intrigued to be put in charge of the film. But Blum claims that the play’s producer, Scott Cawthon, insists on making the film the right way. For this reason, it can be observed that Cawthon has much more say in decision-making mechanics.
“I can’t do anything Scott doesn’t want to do,” Blum said, adding that even for this reason alone, either the film will be made the way the producer wants it to be made, or it will never be done. Blum left questions about the new director unanswered in the interview.
