"Five Nights at Freddy's" movie is still happening despite the long delays and rumored cancellation. In fact, the release date for the highly anticipated game is reported to happen in 2018.
While it may still be two years from now, movie director Gil Kenan assured on his Twitter post that there's no need for the fans to worry because "FNF" movie is far from getting cancelled. If anything, it is "just in the very long script development phase."
He added that the staff and crew are "still working on it."
Scott Cawthon, the creator of the popular game series, also explained that the main goal at the moment is to develop a script that's going to be amazing.
"The script is still being worked on," Cawthon wrote on a Steam. "The people involved are taking the movie seriously, which is definitely a good thing!"
While Cawthon and the rest of the team working on the film had refused to provide and other information about the film, the delay on the script has prompted rumors that "Five Nights at Freddy's" movie could possible feature "Sister Location" during its release date.
Christian Today noted that it will not be impossible for the creepy pig-tailed clown-like animatronic to be featured in the movie, since its game debut will happen prior to the movie's release.
While nothing has been made official yet, the film is expected to rely heavily on the game's new aged horror genre.
"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 revealed to The Hollywood Reporter, which first broke the story on a "Five Nights at Freddy's" film.
"Sister Location" is scheduled to hit the shelves this fall, while "Five Nights of Freddy's" movie release date is reportedly going to arrive in June 2018, as seen in MDB page.
