It has recently been confirmed that Blumhouse Productions’ highly anticipated horror film Five Nights at Freddy’s will have a runtime of 85 minutes.
The film is based on the popular horror video game series developed and published by Scott Cawthon.
The series focuses on the fictional Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza, which is a horror-themed pizzeria populated by scary animatronic animal characters.
First released in 2014, the game has become a worldwide phenomenon, spawning multiple sequels and inspiring a huge fan base.
The film adaptation is set to be released in 2021 and is directed by Chris Columbus (Home Alone, Harry Potter).
The film is said to follow a security guard who starts working at the notorious pizza parlor after many years have passed.
As the guards digs deeper into the suspicious happenings at the pizzeria, he discovers a dark backstory that has been hidden for many years.
The film is expected to bring back the horror elements of the game, with an emphasis on atmosphere and jump scares.
The news of the confirmed runtime of the film marks an exciting step in the development.
The film is an entirely original story, and with 85 minutes to work with, Blumhouse should have plenty of time to flesh out the story and characters.
It seems that the studio is staying true to the source material while also creating an engaging story of its own.
It’s too early to say how well the film will turn out, but with Blumhouse’s track record, fans have good reason to be hopeful.
The filmmakers have clearly put a lot of work into this project, and now that the runtime is confirmed, the wait for Five Nights at Freddy’s is almost over.
