Chris Columbus (Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, Pixels) has signed on as director for Blumhouse Productions’ upcoming Five Nights at Freddy’s movie adaptation.
Over the past four years, the Five Nights at Freddy’s franchise has spawned several sequels, novelizations, and YouTube videos that have generated over a billion views.
Columbus, Blum, and Cawthon will co-produce the film, creating a wildly disparate – but equally inspired – horror trifecta.
As noted by Deadline, Columbus was not the first filmmaker attached to direct Five Nights at Feddy’s.
