Director Emma Tammi also discussed the invaluable contributions the game’s creator made to the film.
But Tammi said that Cawthon’s involvement–he co-wrote the film–was key.
“It was a really great collaboration and continues to be,” Tammi told GameSpot.
“I think, at times we’re coming from different perspectives, and have different views on things.
And talking it through, we always reach the solution that feels right for the story.
But it’s the reason I think that he wanted me involved.
It’s the reason why I was so excited to have him involved, too.
Both of those perspectives are really helpful.
And we’re coming from different places, but with the same intent of making the best movie.”
That’s not to say the movie changes everything–it’s more like a remix.
And he really wanted to link this mostly to the first game," Tammi said.
But she added that some further changes came about because of how the actors played them.
But since the target audience is pretty young, the movie had to have a PG-13 rating.
Still, it was a tall task.
“I think it’s all execution-dependent.
I really enjoy that, to be honest.
“We definitely have some ideas,” she teased.
“We definitely have some hopes and dreams.
It would be a dream to be able to keep making films within this world.
So I’m really hopeful that the audiences will like it enough to get us back making more.”
Five Night’s at Freddy’s is in theaters and on Peacock Friday.
