Coming to theaters in the fall is Five Nights at Freddy's, which took years to produce. Jason Blum confessed in an interview that he is proud of the work the production team managed to complet. The process was quite demanding, however, which involved unpleasantness from others in the industry and even within the company (via IGN):

"I love a challenge. Many years ago, Scott worked for a while on a film with the studio, but nothing came of it. Everyone said we couldn't do it, including people from my company. They laughed at my pursuit of a goal that was supposed to be unattainable. This, however, only motivated me more, I repeated: 'I bet I can do it.'"

In the aforementioned interview, the filmmaker also mentioned his love for horror movies and where it came from. In Hollywood, people associated with this genre still reportedly face ostracism. This type of cinema is considered something inferior, but this somehow attracts Jason Blum. The man likes to overcome difficulties and wants to be someone who, despite his lost position at the start, goes to the top.

In the end, Blum proves that those who doubted him were wrong. Five Nights at Freddy's has been completed and given an official release date. The production, a movie adaptation of a game under the same name, will hit the theaters on October 27.. Just before Halloween, it may prove to be one of the most interesting productions of this time of year.
