The much-anticipated first teaser has just dropped for the upcoming movie adaptation of Five Nights at Freddy’s. In the first teaser for Blumhouse’s movie adaptation of the hit survival horror video game, Josh Hutcherson finds himself overwhelmed. The teaser offers a glimpse at how the famed animatronics of the game have been adapted to suit the film treatment. FNAF fans can also spot some Easter eggs in the movie’s teaser.
The film follows the game’s storyline created by Scott Cawthon and features Hutcherson as a troubled security guard who starts working at Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza, a twisted version of Chuck-E-Cheese. The description states that during his first night on the job, he quickly discovers that surviving the night shift at Freddy’s won’t be a simple task.
Breaking down the Five Nights at Freddy’s teaser
The new Five Nights at Freddy’s teaser establishes the film’s storyline. It also incorporates significant Easter Eggs from the game. It showcases Mike observing the camera system with Freddy and the other animatronics, mirroring their positions in the game.
The teaser opens with an employee training video reminiscent of the 1980s for Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza. It portrays it as a family-friendly entertainment center similar to Chuck E. Cheese. However, it swiftly reveals the rundown building’s true identity in the present day—a death trap swarming with murderous animatronic dolls.
The brief 48-second teaser introduces the new security guard to the amusement park, where fantasy and fun supposedly come alive, before transitioning to a menacing scene outside the abandoned establishment.

More details about the FNAF movie adaptation
Emma Tammi is the director of the movie adaptation of Five Nights at Freddy’s. The upcoming horror film features an exciting cast that includes Josh Hutcherson, Matthew Lillard, Elizabeth Lail, Piper Rubio, Kat Conner Sterling, and Mary Stuart Masterson. Jim Henson’s Creature Shop works on animatronic designs and technology like the game.
The journey towards a film adaptation of FNAF encountered several obstacles. Creator Scott Cawthon initially announced the project in 2015. Warner Bros obtained the rights but went quiet after for over two years.
Later, Cawthon revealed that the project was starting over from scratch. Following the departure of multiple directors, Jason Blum announced in 2017 that his production company, Blumhouse, would be taking on the adaptation.
This year, Universal announced that Five Nights at Freddy’s would premiere on the streaming service Peacock simultaneously with its theatrical release on October 27, 2023.
