Director Emma Tammi discusses toeing the PG-13 line, where to find Easter eggs, & why Josh Hutcherson is the perfect Mike in Five Nights at Freddy's.
The Big Picture After David Gordon Green’s The Exorcist: Believer possessed theaters this October, powerhouse duo Blumhouse Productions and Universal Pictures are back with a fan-favorite franchise, Five Nights at Freddy’s. Directed by Emma Tammi and starring Josh Hutcherson , this PG-13 horror brings to life the expansive, twisted world of creator Scott Cawthon in what we can only hope will be yet another Blumhouse franchise.
EMMA TAMMI: Oh, man. That's a huge question that I don't know if I'm fully equipped to answer. But what I will say is that I felt really completely addicted to it once I started playing it, so I understand why everyone else would have as well. I think what is also such a big part of the FNaF franchise is the online community and the way the fans like to theorize about the lore and talk to each other and engage, and that's just huge and unique and fantastic.TAMMI: Interesting.
TAMMI: It's an ongoing conversation from the script process to editorial to any VFX enhancements to make sure that we're walking that line of what our intention is and really wanting to deliver for the fans on the scares and also still being able to fall into that PG-13 category. So, it's just adding a little bit of salt, adding a little bit of pepper, “Oh, did we add too much? Okay, we'll pull it back.” It's figuring out the blend.
TAMMI: We were highly aware that security leaks were an issue on this one, so we were pretty close to our chest. But I would say the biggest thing, in terms of some feedback that we got that we ended up reshaping a bit, was the ending just in terms of the balance of character action. So, we brought out a little bit more of Mike's active role at the end of the film based on some feedback, which was really, really helpful.
