October, the most terrifying month of the year, has already begun. Of course, we are in the perfect season to enjoy the live-action adaptation of Five Nights at Freddy's, which promises to be one of the most eye-catching films of this Halloween. With its release very close, it's impossible not to wonder what the next big step will be. Are there sequels on the horizon?
Will there be more Five Nights at Freddy's movies?
Recently, Emma Tammi, the director of the film starring Josh Hutcherson, expressed her desire to make at least a trilogy of this saga. Her statements add to those of Jason Blum, CEO of Blumhouse, who stated earlier this year that he would like to adapt more horror games to the big screen.
Now, the American creative, who previously worked on The Wind and Blood Moon, reiterated her intentions to create more films set in the world of the video game created by Scott Cawthon.
During an interview with Entertainment Weekly, the director of Five Nights at Freddy's revealed that she "hopes to be able to make more [installments]" if the first film proves to be a commercial success. She refrained from revealing more information, so it is unknown if she already has plans for a hypothetical sequel.

Additionally, the filmmaker believes that this film could be the beginning of a new stage in Josh Hutcherson's professional career, who plays Mike Schmidt. Although the actor had significant roles in films like Journey to the Center of the Earth, Zathura, and Bridge to Terabithia, he is best known for his work in The Hunger Games saga.
"We went through an intensive process for this role because he really is the anchor of the whole movie. I talked to Josh from the beginning, and we always came back to him. He understood the character a lot and gave Mike a real sense of life, which was what the character needed. I'm excited for people to see Josh from a slightly new perspective," commented Emma Tammi.
Of course, Five Nights at Freddy's is one of the most popular horror video games of the last decade. Through multiple sequels and spin-offs, it forged a passionate community. In this way, it's easy to imagine that Josh Hutcherson will become a very popular figure among fans after his participation in the live-action film.
