Five Nights At Freddy's Movie (2023) | Behind The Scenes #3

The Age Rating Debate

The Five Nights at Freddy's (FNAF) movie has been the talk of the town, with fans eagerly awaiting the latest news. This week, we've got some juicy tidbits to share, including an update on the movie's age rating and a potential exclusive character leak.

The age rating of the FNAF movie has been a topic of heated debate among fans. Some argue that the movie should aim for an R rating, as it would truly represent the dark and twisted horror franchise. Others, however, fear that an R rating would alienate a large portion of the fanbase, which includes many underage viewers.

This discussion is not new; it's a recurring theme in the FNAF community. It's a reminder that the games, while known for their dark storylines, aren't known for excessive violence. So, while the movie might aim to capture the essence of the franchise, it's important to remember that it's a movie, not a game.

The Dismantling of Freddy's Pizza Place

Moving on to the set of the movie, we've got some exciting news. This week, we've confirmed that the filmmakers have completed filming at Freddy's Pizza Place. Some fans might be sad to see this iconic location go, but others might be hopeful that the success of the movie could lead to a permanent Freddy's Pizza location in one of Universal's parks.

Markiplier's Involvement in the Movie

Now, let's talk about Markiplier. The popular YouTuber has finally commented on his involvement in the movie. In a recent interview with Variety, Markiplier was asked about his possible participation in the FNAF movie. He replied, "I can't say anything particular about that. There was a lot of scheduling conflict and I can't say anything."

This ambiguous response has not deterred fans, who are hopeful that Markiplier is indeed involved in the adaptation of the FNAF franchise. His influence on the Five Nights at Freddy's franchise cannot be understated. His perseverance and dedication to 100%-ing each title in the main series have contributed significantly to the franchise's popularity.

The Casting Announcements

This week, we've had a flurry of casting announcements for the FNAF movie. First up, we have Michael P Sullivan, who confirmed his involvement in the project through a Facebook post. He also confirmed that his character is completely original and does not appear anywhere else in the franchise.

Next, we have Bailey Winston, who has been cast as a character known as Kim. This seems to be an original character created for the movie. Tattisay Young is set to play Dr Lillian, and Jimmy Basford is joining the cast. He also leaked some information about his role, responding to a Facebook fan message by writing, "Yes, I'm paired with a lady in Brackets wife Anna and the chase/water fight scene a lot this water flight scene is likely a reference to the leaked Josh Hutcherson scene we spotlighted in the last episode of our behind the scenes coverage."

The Sprint Trap Reveal

Finally, we have the biggest news story of the week. A fan snapped a picture from their visit to the Jim Henson Creature Shop and uploaded it to Instagram. In the picture, a fan favorite animatronic was hidden. There's some debate among fans whether this is straight-up Sprint Trap or simply withered Spring Bonnie.

Sprint Trap was originally a Spring Bonnie's suit that doubled as both an animatronic and costume suit. In the FNAF 3 minigames, William Afton, who had found out there are souls trapped in the animatronics, came back to the pizzeria that has been closed down to destroy Freddy Fazbear, Bonnie Chica, and Foxy. The souls were freed from the animatronics and cornered William Afton into the safe room. William put himself into the Spring Bonnie's suit, but as the room was wet due to raindrops, the faulty spring locks in the suit started to malfunction and sn
