Emma Tammi To Direct ‘Five Nights at Freddy’s’ Film; Blumhouse Sets Early 2023 Production Start
deadline.comThe long-in-the-works feature adaptation of the hit video game Five Nights at Freddy’s has found a director and is headed toward “an early 2023 production start,” according to an announcement from Blumhouse, which is producing.
