"Five Nights at Freddy's 2" Unveils Trailer
Yara Sameh The official trailer for 'Five Nights at Freddy's 2' has been unveiled, teasing the continuation of Freddy Fazbear's chilling reign. The sequel from Universal and Blumhouse has a new tagline: 'Anyone can survive five nights. This time, there will be no second chances.' Emma Tammi returns as director. Josh Hutcherson, star of the first film, also returns for the sequel, which includes cast members Matthew Lillard, Elizabeth Lail and Piper Rubio. The first film, which earned $297 million at the global box office, featured Hutcherson playing a security guard at Freddys Fazbear's Pizza. It went on to become Blumhouse's highest-grossing movie ever. Hutcherson told Variety last year that the huge success was unexpected. 'We hoped it would connect with audiences,' Hutcherson said. 'But I don't think that anybody, even on our side of things, expected it to really connect the way that it did.' Hutcherson also hinted to Esquire the follow-up would be 'scarier.' 'There's more animatronics being brought in, different animatronics being brought in, and the world just opens up in a big way,' he said to the publication. Murtada Elfadl reviewed the first film for Variety, writing that 'Hollywood has not been successful at turning video games into movies — a disappointing streak that 'Five Nights at Freddy's' fails to correct.' Elfadl added that 'there's not enough of the animatronic creatures. Despite their distinctive look, they are not used effectively for horror or hilarity, missing the mark on both counts.'

'Five Nights at Freddy's 2' trailer teases animatronic horror: Watch
"Five Nights at Freddy's" is leveling up. The sequel to the 2023 horror hit, based on the hugely popular video games, has debuted its first full trailer, teasing more creepy animatronic mayhem — and a "Scream" reunion. Josh Hutcherson returns as former security guard Mike in "Five Nights at Freddy's 2," set one year after the first movie. Since the animatronics at a pizzeria came to life in the original film, "the stories about what transpired there have been twisted into a campy local legend, inspiring the town's first ever Fazfest," the sequel's plot synopsis reveals. But when Mike's sister Abby (Piper Rubio) sneaks out to reconnect with her animatronic friends, it "will set into motion a terrifying series of events, revealing dark secrets about the true origin of Freddy's, and unleashing a long-forgotten horror hidden away for decades," the description adds. Hutcherson, Elizabeth Lail and Matthew Lillard return from the 2023 movie, while new cast members include Wayne Knight and Mckenna Grace. Also joining the cast is Skeet Ulrich, reuniting the actor with his "Scream" costar and fellow Ghostface killer, Lillard. 'Five Nights at Freddy's' movie pulls off a Halloween surprise: $130.6 million worldwide The first "Five Nights at Freddy's" was one of the biggest horror hits of 2023, grossing nearly $300 million at the worldwide box office, despite earning largely negative reviews from critics. It came amid a wave of successful video game adaptations on the big and small screen, from "The Super Mario Bros. Movie" in 2023 to "The Last of Us" on HBO, which just released its second season earlier this year. 'Five Nights at Freddy's' repeats at No. 1, Taylor Swift's 'Eras' reaches $231M worldwide But the "Freddy's" sequel will arrive at a key moment for its production company Blumhouse, known for low-budget chillers like "Paranormal Activity" and "The Purge." The company is in need of a hit after the failure of its sequel "M3GAN 2.0," which bombed at the box office in June after the original was a hit three years earlier. 'Five Nights at Freddy's 2' release date "Five Nights at Freddy's 2" is set to hit theaters on Dec. 5, 2025.

"Phasmophobia" Movie in Works
Yara Sameh Blumhouse Productions has set its sights on another horror video game to adapt to the big screen, developing a feature based on 'Phasmophobia,' the first-person paranormal puzzle title that became a viral sensation during the coronavirus pandemic. The film adaptation will be produced by Blumhouse and Atomic Monster, in association with Kinetic Games Limited. First released in early access in 2020, 'Phasmophobia' became a social media fixation as Twitch streamers and YouTubers quickly took to the multiplayer ghost-hunting video game. Developed and released by Kinetic Games Limited, the title was a breakthrough hit for the indie banner, becoming the best-selling video game on Steam for several weeks through the final months of that year. It has been ported to several consoles and has sold more than 23 million copies globally in the time since. 'Phasmophobia' was also a critical darling, taking the prize in the category of best debut game at the 2020 Game Awards. The project was unveiled at the first-ever 'Business of Fear' event in Hollywood on Tuesday, which featured Blumhouse CEO Jason Blum and president Abhijay Prakash as speakers. It comes as Blumhouse's latest video game adaptation, following their 2023 title 'Five Nights at Freddy's' — another film based on a streamer-popularized horror game. That Universal release grossed $291 million worldwide — an especially impressive figure, considering it had a simultaneous streaming debut on Peacock in North America. A sequel, 'Five Nights at Freddy's 2,' will be released in theaters on December 5. Blumhouse also sports a game division, with upcoming titles including 'Eyes of Hellfire' and 'Sleep Awake.' read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Australia Fines Telegram $600,000 Over Terrorism, Child Abuse Content Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Sports Neymar Announced for Brazil's Preliminary List for 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers News Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly Inaugurates Two Indian Companies Arts & Culture New Archaeological Discovery from 26th Dynasty Uncovered in Karnak Temple Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan

Five Nights at Freddy's 2 will be ‘a little more action-packed', teases Matthew Lillard
Mathew Lillard has teased 'Five Nights at Freddy's 2' will be "a little more action-packed". The 55-year-old actor is set to reprise his role as the sinister William Afton in the upcoming movie - which is based on the horror video game franchise of the same name by developer Scott Cawthon - and has now teased 'Five Nights at Freddy's 2' may have "more jump scares" and feature more action than its 2023 predecessor. When asked Lillard whether the flick would be bigger than the original, he said: "I do think that the movie learned first time around, I think Scott, as a primary storyteller, listened to the audience. [It's] what he does best. He knows that community so well. "And I think that he's responded with a script that … maybe it has more jump scares. Maybe it's a little more action-packed. I don't know. I'm not here to say 'yes it is', or 'no it's not'. "But I do think the fans are gonna love this next movie, and I think that they're gonna be really excited come December." The 'Scream' star added "the storytelling's been amped up a lot" on 'Five Nights at Freddy's 2', even though the flick is "still sort of an independent little horror movie". He explained: "I think the storytelling's been amped up a lot. I don't feel like the budget's gone through the roof. There are $250 million, $300 million movies out there, $500 million movies. "I mean, God knows what 'Avengers' cost, but we are certainly not that. We're still sort of an independent little horror movie." 'Five Nights at Freddy's' - which was directed by Emma Tammi and starred Josh Hutcherson, Elizabeth Lail and Lillard - follows Mike Schmidt as he gets roped into working as a security guard at the long-abandoned Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, only for him to discover the old animatronics come to life at night - and have violent intentions. Hutcherson previously teased 'Five Nights at Freddy's 2' would be "much bigger" and "scarier" than the first film. In an interview with Esquire, 'The Hunger Games' star said: "There's more animatronics being brought in, different animatronics being brought in, and the world just opens up in a big way. "We're finding the balance right now of building this world and expanding it in a really cool way but also making sure the characters stay really grounded. "That's something that I really think that we all fought for in the first film, because this world that was created in 'Five Nights at Freddy's', it's so out-there. It's so over-the-top and wacky, in a way, that to find the emotional truth of the characters was gonna be what was gonna work." Hutcherson added fans of the game series would "flip for it" because director Emma Tammi was going to have "a lot of fun" with the source material. He said: "I think the fans are gonna flip for it. It's gonna be a lot of fun with the source. It's gonna be scarier, too, actually."

‘Minecraft' was a hit. Here are 7 other video game adaptations to get excited about
Editor's Note: A version of this story was published in October 2023. Much like 2023's 'Super Mario Bros. Movie,' this month's 'A Minecraft Movie' seemingly came out of nowhere to score box office gold. But no one should have been surprised: video game adaptations are an increasingly vital part of the entertainment market, which some say is set to replace superheroes as 'Hollywood's dominant intellectual property.' Not all adaptations of popular games are guaranteed success – see last year's 'Borderlands,' in addition to 2022's 'Uncharted' and 2018's 'Tomb Raider' reboot. Critics and fans alike found those movies faltering in their ability to capture the story and magic of the gameplay in their respective source material. But the ones that work, predictably, are set to spawn sequels and new seasons of TV, with new installments set for 'Mario,' 'Mortal Kombat,' 'Sonic the Hedgehog,' 'The Angry Birds' and many more. (Bonus: The highly anticipated Season 2 of 'The Last of Us' premieres this weekend.) What else is coming down the pike by way of video game adaptations? Here are several more upcoming movies and television shows based on video games, in no particular order: (Note: CNN and Warner Bros. Pictures, which produced 'Minecraft,' are both part of the same parent company, Warner Bros. Discovery.) 'The Legend of Zelda' (2027) The announcement that this storied game franchise – casually referred to as 'Zelda' in shorthand – would be coming to theaters in 2027 as a live action film almost broke the internet last month. And for good reason: Zelda games are right up there with Super Mario Bros. in terms of seminal video game source material. The movie will be directed by Wes Ball, who helmed the 'Maze Runner' film franchise. 'Until Dawn' (April 25) As seen with many titles below like 'Five Nights at Freddy's' and 'Silent Hill,' the overlap between video games and horror content is wide and rich, like in this terrifying game-turned-fright flick out later this month. Featuring Odessa A'zion of 2022's 'Hellraiser' reboot, 'Until Dawn' follows a group of people caught in a time loop who must survive until daybreak to get out alive. It's part 'Groundhog Day,' part 'Cabin in the Woods,' with a little 'Thir13en Ghosts' thrown in. 'Five Nights at Freddy's 2' (December 5) 'Five Nights at Freddy's' from 2023 successfully cashed in on the popularity of the beloved survival video game that inspired it, giving way to this creepy animatronic horror sequel. The new installment will welcome back Josh Hutcherson, Piper Rubio and 'Scream' alum Matthew Lillard, with Mckenna Grace and Wayne Knight (of 'Jurassic Park' and 'Seinfeld' fame) coming on board as newcomers. 'Return to Silent Hill' (TBA) The survival horror puzzle game franchise will return to theaters with 'Return to Silent Hill.' Christophe Gans, helmer of the Radha Mitchell-starring 'Silent Hill' from 2006, is back to direct the sequel, inspired by the 2001 game 'Silent Hill 2.' The movie will follow James Sunderland (Jeremy Irvine) as he is drawn back to the creepy titular town by a letter seemingly from a past love. 'Pokémon: Detective Pikachu' sequel (TBA) Though not the character's first foray outside of video games, Pikachu will reportedly grace screens again in a sequel to the live-action 'Pokémon: Detective Pikachu' film from 2019 that featured the voice of Ryan Reynolds. A second movie was announced shortly before the first debuted at the box office, however, whether or not the original star-studded cast will return remains unclear. 'God of War Ragnarok' (TBA) Amazon Studios plans on making the widely-acclaimed fantasy, third-person story game 'God of War Ragnarok' into a television series. The show is expected to closely mirror the 2022 game, in which Kratos the Greek God of War and his son Atreus journey against the backdrop of Norse mythology to honor Kratos' fallen wife. 'Stray' (TBA) What could be better than wandering around a vaguely dystopian, cyberpunk city as a friendly feline trying to piece together clues as you find your way home? Yes – this does sound a bit like this year's Oscar-winner for best animated feature, 'Flow.' Annapurna Pictures, whose video game division developed the popular 2022 game 'Stray,' is currently developing an animated feature based off the beloved title.
