Yeah, I’m wondering if Cawthon hasn’t already just about run out the option period, given his delays. In between that, being difficult to work with, the declining cultural relevance of the game that you mention, and the multiple knock-off films that have already been made, the odds of the movie being made don’t seem…

Arkanoid Playing Game

I feel that is likely going to happen with the film - the movie rights to Blumhouse expires and no one else wants to option it. Not only because of Cawthon being hard to work with, but because the IP has run its course - I wasn’t ware that Cawthon was making FNAF games until 2019 - I thought the last one he had made…

The story in the games themselves didn’t really make much sense and was convoluted as heck - the animatronics are possessed by the ghost of children who were slain by thepurple man possibly because he wanted to experiment on them by making them zombie cyborgs. I feel that the only reason people (mainly YouTube…

I concur. Just because Cawthon made a series of successful games doesn’t mean that he knows how to make a movie, yet alone tell a good story. A good example is Hideo Kojima’s Metal Gear games. There was also that awful FNAF RPG.

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

Good thing it is a shit game.

When someone’s “politics” is donating to ghouls who would see real harm upon marginalized peoples, calling that shit out is the opposite of unnecessary garbage.

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. 

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:

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.

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.

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.
