Here's your first look at the Five Nights at Freddy's movie

Today brings the first trailer for Five Nights at Freddy’s, the upcoming movie based on the enormously-popular horror game series of the same name.

This trailer first leaked online earlier in the month – though legal notices and a fairly successful community boycott stemmed its spread.

Here we get our first look at The Hunger Games’ Josh Hutcherson, cast as a new security guard for creepy pizza chain Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza. An evil-looking Matthew Lillard (Scream, Scooby-Doo) can also be seen.

After a long and troubled route to release, Five Nights at Freddy’s is now set for a Halloween-y launch later this year on 27th October, in cinemas and on the Peacock streaming service.

We first heard word of a FNAF movie all the way back in 2015, though progress was reportedly held back by franchise creator Scott Cawthorn, who refused to work with multiple now-scrapped versions of its script.

After delays, film director Chris Columbus (Home Alone, Harry Potter) also quit the project in 2001.

Around the same time, Cawthon sparked an online backlash among some fans for revealing he had donated to various US political candidates – the vast majority of which were Republican – and saying that he was a pro-life supporter of then-US president Donald Trump.
