 Hello people of the internet, my name is Johnny and I am back, just like I said I would because I always come back. You know me, right? I don't like to stall at the beginning of video, so let's just hop right into it. Boys, we have some brand new news on the FNAF movie. Yesterday an interview was conducted with Jason Blum, which if you did not know is the CEO and founder of Blumhouse Productions, which is the people making the movie. It mainly focuses on their brand new movie, Freaky. I'm not here to promote it at all, though I have heard some good things about it, so maybe go watch it, maybe go give it a try. I don't fucking know, I'm not being paid to say this. But yeah, most of the interview is about Freaky, it also touches on Halloween kills, as well as just what it's like to make films during a pandemic. It's honestly a really solid interview, it's gonna be linked down below, of course I highly recommend go reading it. It was done by Inverse, again linked down below, go check it out. And while you're down there boys, why not subscribe if you are new? Just between you and me, I may have ordered some FNAF slime, trust me, you don't want to miss that. Or maybe you do, but if you do want to miss it, you should subscribe anyways because we have a lot of good videos coming out boys. You know, the action figures, the figurines that Funko made, I'm gonna get those, we're gonna get them, we're gonna review them, unbox them, take a look at them, all that good stuff in the future. So the interview goes as follows, Jason Blum is the scariest CEO in Hollywood. As the founder of Blumhouse Productions, his spearheaded a new wave of horror movies ranging from Jordan Peele's Get Out to 2018's Halloween Reboot to anthology shows on Amazon and Hulu. And if we ever return to movie theaters, he's got plenty more scares in store. In the meantime, the world is scary enough on its own thanks to the coronavirus pandemic. That's provided a formidable challenge for companies like Blumhouse, which are now forced to shell out for personal protective equipment so production can continue. It's an additional 10 to 20% of the movie's budget, Blum tells Inverse, it ain't cheap. Then goes on to talk more about making movies in the pandemic, I just wanted to touch upon that lightly just to remind people, yeah, we're still in a pandemic. So now officially moving on to the FNAF news. Shows a picture of FNAF one that I'm not too big a fan of just because it is not official at all. But for some reason, article companies love to fucking use it. And below it, it says the FNAF is still happening eventually by Scott Cawthon. I don't remember him saying that if I'm being honest, but it sounds like something else he would say. What about the Five Nights at Freddy's movie? That ran into some issues. Is it still happening? Jason replied with, it's still active. We haven't quite figured it out, but we're getting closer every day. That will be Blum House's first video game adaptation. What are the challenges in turning a game into a movie? The story is a big challenge. You know, FNAF should have been easier because there are books. There's a lot of lore and storytelling. For video game, I think it has more storytelling than almost any other. But still, the story goes down so many rabbit holes. It goes down so many different directions. It's big. Choosing which part to tell the first time out of the gate and how to tell it has been tricky. So honestly, I was very surprised when Jason brought up the books. I was not thinking he would have spoken about them just because it was such an early idea to make the movie about the books. If you didn't know the plan so far, the hope and dream is to have three movies all based off the first three games. Obviously, FNAF 1, 2 and 3. And honestly, very, very early on, people were thinking, okay, they're not going to make a movie about the games. Instead, they'll make it about the book, the Silver Eyes. And it was confirmed not too long ago, maybe like a year or two ago, that Scott is actually making the movie about the games, not about the books. And to be fair, I feel like that opens it up a bit more, you know, because you'll have all of the games instead of just three books to go off of. Because yes, it would have gone off the original trilogy. The Freddy, not the Freddy, the Fazbear Fright books were not even made back then. So yeah, there are really two ways that they could have gone is with the books with Charlie, John, all those guys, or with the games Freddy and the crew. I'm really happy that they went with the direction of the games just because I feel like a lot more people will know about the games rather than the books. Because really, not many non-FNAF fans read the books. The fact that they are having trouble going with storytelling surprises me because there's not a lot of story in the first game. And if Scott only wants to make at maximum three movies, I think they should focus on those three games. I don't know if I would want them to be a complete retelling of the lore that we knew up until FNAF 3, like no nightmares, no fun time characters, no scrap baby, no baby at all. I don't know if I would want that or I don't know if I would want more hints towards, okay, there was a past location, Fredbear and friends, you know, Freddy and friends, whatever it was called. And there was a bite there. I don't know if they would want to go into that because that's mainly FNAF 4, though it was alluded to in the past games. I don't know what direction they are going to take it, but I really hope they don't try and cram everything in there because that's going to be terrible, absolutely terrible. If they want to make three movies, I think they need to focus on just make one movie. If it goes well, we'll do a second and a third. For the first one, just focus on FNAF 1, right? Set up the basics. Got Freddy and the gang, you got the Night Guard, maybe throw in William Afton there as well. Maybe allude to a safe room. Don't directly talk about it though. Again, allude to the bite of 83, the bite of 87, whatever you want. Of course, get the main lore of the first game. Get the Fideness and Kids in there. Get the mysterious, you know, Golden Freddy figure in there. But don't try and cram everything in there, like Sound Dis and William Afton and his plans to kill everything. Of course, you know, again, get the killing in there, but don't get the fun times, the remnant, the scooper, all that stuff. Don't even consider putting that in there. Anyways, I'm going to start myself there because I could ram along forever. I want to talk about Scott's comments because he has made two. A lot of people just look at the first one. They don't even know that he commented twice. He says, this is all very true. It may seem like the project has been inactive, but quite the opposite is true. It's been very active for years. A lot of big talent has come and gone trying to get this just right. We all feel really good though about the latest screenplay though. So I'm very hopeful it's going to happen. I'm just determined for it to be the best it can possibly be. So that confirms a script is done and Scott feels pretty confident about it. He feels very hopeful. So hopefully that means that that's set in stone because for the longest time we've had Scott say, Oh, I didn't like that script. Oh, I rewrote it. You know, Jason liked it. Chris liked it, but I didn't like it. So I rewrote it. So hopefully everyone's on board with a script and they can get to shooting. I don't think they'll shoot this year at all. Yeah, I'm trying to think. I don't think they're going to shoot this year. I highly doubt they'll shoot this year. At most they'll probably get a few casting calls done, maybe start looking for locations, maybe just start planning it out. And then next year will be shooting time. I think, again, I absolutely hate throughout release dates just because we only have a script done and this is not me confirming it. This is just me speculating. This is me going on my soapbox to say I am speculating it is going to be a 2022 release date. But again, it's not confirmed at all. That's my thoughts. And again, all that stuff about shooting next to your casting calls, that is all my thoughts as well. I just want to make sure that is clear as possible. None of that is confirmed. That's up in here. That's up in here. Scott also left another comment saying I want to say that criticism of every word I said here is 1000% justified. I know I've said things like this before. I really have been working hard on this. Give me just a little more time. And when I first read that comment, I'm not going to lie. That hit me right here because we all know Scott fucking adores this community. And the community fucking adores Scott. And we all know he's working hard on this. He wants it to be the best it can be. And I really do hope that the movie can fulfill that promise that Scott has made to us. And I know a lot of people are always upset. The game has been in development for 5 years at this point. The movie has been in development for 5 years at this point. And a lot of people are getting irritated. We've had two FNAF-like movies come out. Well I say two. We've had one, The Banana Splits. And then the upcoming Willys Wonderland movie. So we've had two knockoffs come out. I hope that's not getting to Scott because he knows his community. He knows his games. He knows that he can make this the best that it can possibly be. And I have full faith in Scott. I have full faith in Chris. I have full faith in Jason. Everyone working on the project. I have full faith in. This is going to be a fantastic movie. I know it's taking a long, long time. I'm not going to lie. Am I upset that it's taking this long? Yes. But knowing that Scott is working this hard on it and he's making it as perfect as it can be, that really does fill me with hope. So anyways, that's it. Nothing else really to talk about. Just a quick little update on the FNAF movie. Hopefully things go a bit smoother than the past couple of years. I really do wish Scott and Blumhouse good luck. Especially with the pandemic going on. I know making a movie during these times is probably the worst thing that can ever happen. But hopefully things can all get sorted out. So thanks for watching. I'll see you all on the flip side. Goodbye. I don't do this.
