AceShowbiz - "Five Nights at Freddy's" is getting a movie treatment. The Hollywood Reporter learns that Warner Brothers has purchased the rights to adapt the popular video game. Created by Scott Cawthon, the game follows dark events at a children's pizza restaurant.
Described as a twisted version of Chuck-E-Cheese, it revolves around an animatronic animal band who performs kiddy songs by day and goes on murderous rampages by night. The studio is currently looking for writers to bring the story to the big screen.
"The story really lends itself to being a movie and it taps into a largely unexplored niche of horror that a lot of people will be able to relate to," Cawthon said. Producer Seth Grahame-Smith chimed in, "We're looking forward to working with Scott to make an insane, terrifying and weirdly adorable movie."
