The highly anticipated Five Nights at Freddy’s movie may have had its first trailer leaked online. While there is no confirmation on whether this is the real trailer, it certainly seems to fit the bill, introducing us to the storyline and characters of the popular game series.
The trailer shows Josh Hutcherson in the role of the security guard, Mike Schmidt, as he takes on a night shift at the infamous Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria.
The trailer also gives us a glimpse of the terrifying animatronics, which are even more frightening in live-action . It appears that the movie will delve deeper into the lore of the game series, exploring how the pizzeria became such a frightening place.
However, the film seems to deviate from the game series in several ways. For one, it takes the security guard out of the CCTV room, allowing him to explore more of the pizzeria.

Additionally, it seems to draw upon all of the games in the series, rather than retelling them in order. This is evident from the appearance of Springtrap , an animatronic that didn’t appear until the third game in the series.
The movie’s production has been a long and troubled one, with delays and creative differences between the studio and the game’s creator, Scott Cawthon .
Cawthon’s controversial exit from the gaming industry in 2021, after revelations about his political donations to far-right Republicans, may have also impacted the film’s production.
Despite the challenges, fans of the game series are eagerly awaiting the release of the Five Nights at Freddy’s movie. If this leaked trailer is anything to go by, it looks like it will be a terrifying and thrilling adaptation of the popular game series.
