When people who have no experience in film get final cut, it’s never a good thing.

Yep, and it was pretty mediocre. They also did it with the Banana Splits to mixed success. The entire premise is dated before it’s even made it out of the gate. 

His politics aside, he seems to be difficult to work with if he loses a director over his inability to compromise than that’s on him. Film is very collaborative and, frankly, FNAF doesn’t have much to go on past it’s initial premise. Oh sure there is lots of lore but nobody cares about that and the entire series is…

Psst. Kirk is not debating in good faith, nor has any idea of what he’s trying to say.

Josh Gad bangs Q-bert in a Chris Columbus movie. I can’t imagine anything more horrific than that. 

I’m actually gonna die mad about cawthon being a gem about quality control and offering free content, and then all the while turning his fat merch checks over to assholes who’d make sure I’d get drawn and quartered in the street for being queer. Fuck scott cawthon and anyone who’d defend him for “having an opinion.”

I like some low budget schlock, but it still has to be fun to watch. Willy’s Wonderland isn’t it for me. Everything’s too lazily done, and they pretty clearly threw what money they had into hiring him, hoping they could rest on the “it’s odd and Nic Cage is in it” excuse to eek out a profit.

Yup, also this version:

And Hollywood can tell him to go f**k himself.

I mean, yeah? He can destroy all good good will regarding the franchise he built from the ground up if he wants.

Same with Banana Splits.

It’s probably in his contract that he gets final say, so, unfortunately, they have to at least pretend like they care what he thinks.

Scott Baio to cameo.

But I also thought his whole shtick after all that was that he was stepping away from the franchise. If that were true, they shouldn’t give two shits what he thinks. The bigger story here IMO is what it potentially means behind the scenes of the series and what’s really going on rather than what he claims is going on.

Absolutely, I appreciate their willingness to throw money at small creators on the constant gamble that they’ll generate another massive hit relative to its budget, but wow dude is a pretty onerous dipshit to hitch your horse to.

Maybe Mel Gibson can direct. James Woods and Kevin Sorbo can star.

sounds like another Fifty Shades of Grey Situation where the people writing and directing are trying to make the movie less problematic than the source material but then get fired and replaced because the creator doesn’t like the changes.

Jeez, it must be REALLY bad if Blumhouse is willing to pin it on Scott so openly.

Perhaps; but as it'll be a Blumhouse movie, the budget will be a few dollars and a 6 pack of beer. It'll not take much to be a success.

At this point, it's not exactly striking while the iron is hot either.
