The Jim Henson Company Is Working on the FNAF Movie! | Some Boi Online

[@JoshProductions07]

I'm really glad they are getting the creature shop to work on this. CGI has really taken over everything now, and I'm glad they are going back to what they used back before there was CGI.

[@SomeBoiOnline]

If the FNAF movie animatronics were CGI, I think I would've lost all interest. A core element of why these characters are so unsettling is *because* of their uncanny appearances, with CG I think all that would've been lost.

[@ExtremeWreck]

@@SomeBoiOnline Nah I think the problem is that most people who use CGI don't really know *how* to make uncanny CGI work. Most of the time, they think it bogs down to 90s aesthetics. That ain't uncanny, that's just how CGI looked like back in the 90s.

[@SomeBoiOnline]

I think uncanny CGI and uncanny valley are different things though, with the former meaning the audience won't believe it's real and the latter being something that is real, but looks somewhat disturbing.

[@jacktheflash8478]

Animatronics are still used

[@jacktheflash8478]

@@SomeBoiOnline all they have to do is make them look like the game models it can’t be that hard

[@brandonspain12345]

It's really refreshing to see their company expand to much more adult and even more horror type movies. I'm very interested in this movie now.

[@SomeBoiOnline]

Yup, they're extremely versatile in the range of creatures they produce; it'll definitely put the movie on people's radar.

i feel like blumhouse NEEDS to be as gritty and dark as the first games and more if they want to maintain a more mature audience. also it would be nice to have something for the older fans to enjoy without younger ones coming in and messing it up.

[@Dontannoyme34894]

Well the kids who played the game when it came out are older now so I’m hoping it aims for the og audience

[@artagle_14]

@@Dontannoyme34894Yes. Because kids today do not have same FNAF experience as we did back then. This is OUR movie. This is the one us og fans have been waiting for ever since Scott released FNAF 3.

[@CinnamonGrrlErin1]

This sounds pretty interesting, but it also feels like they're a little late to the FNAF/animatronic horror movie party. I'll wait and see how it goes though, we really can never have too many animatronics after all.

[@SomeBoiOnline]

My thoughts exactly, it's been so long now that FNAF is seen as a nostalgic thing that people look back on - though that could possibly work in its favour, who knows.

[@jacktheflash8478]

Well the movie has been in development for years

[@SomeBoiOnline]

Several different versions of the movie however. If things had went more smoothly behind the scenes - it could've long been out by now.

[@CinnamonGrrlErin1]

@@jacktheflash8478 yeah, but we're 5 years past the height of animatronic horror popularity. I'm sure it's still going to be well-made, but it's probably going straight to streaming to settle under the radar.

[@artagle_14]

@@CinnamonGrrlErin1If anything I am just glad Warner Woke isn’t going to be involved in this.

[@chazz5112]

That model looks insanely faithful to the original design, looks like at least that aspect of the film will be less to worry about, can only hope it'll be the same case with the script...

[@SomeBoiOnline]

Yeah I'm convinced they've had access to the originals, which is great as there's no reason they shouldn't look great IRL. The script however... that's kind of a concern.

[@Masanimax]

I really hope they make this movie into an actual horror film rather than something marketed toward children. after all, weve been waiting atleast 7 years for this

Couldn't have put it better myself!

I hope it's a good balance were it's got it's funny moments but not completely driving away horror fans and vice versa cuz a vast majority of fnaf fans now is younger so it should be a little funny but being all out funny would be a wast

[@SeanerCullen]

Since the Henson Creature shop was announced this be making the animatronics for this film, I have had high hopes for it

[@gothnerd887]

So Jim Henson Co. are also going for a piece of the Nostalgic Horror Pie.

[@WakoDoodle]

When I first played toontown I didn't know what animatronics were, but when I saw the skelecogs I did some research on what Endoskeletons were, because I thought it was fantasy. Well I walked into a nightmare because it combined two things that spooked me. The unkillable skeleton and the unfeeling robot into one. Their perminant grins, expososed wires and open eyeballs was freaky to me. Luckily there isn't anything like chuck e cheese here but to this day endoskeletons still spooky me. Not as bad as they used to but its that uncanny-valley thing.

[@Dontannoyme34894]

Wow I’m hyped for this to come out❤

[@ExtremeWreck]

Reminds me of the fact that the designs for the PS1 game Rascal were done at the Jim Henson Creature Shop. No, they really say that on the box.

[@michaelgardinjr4523]

It’s The Muppet Show, With Our Very Special Guest Star, Freddy Fazbear! YAY!

[@VencoreOfficial]

Most movies these days use sgi but I think this detail will make the animatronics terrifying.

[@SomeBoiOnline]

We can only hope! 😆

[@Jake-vo1cj]

There will be some real animatronics in the film. That would be usually the when Freddy,foxy,chica and bonnie are on stage singing. But when the move around in the pizzeria for 5 nights in the film, it would be people in suits and some CGI.

[@Wazboom]

All I can think of is man behind the slaughter to the tune of the muppet show intro

[@DGCpicturesEntertainment]

You thought Limbo was scary, you haven't seen $#!T!

[@SomeBoiOnline]

This should be the movie's tagline 🤣

[@ramsera]

I hope they don't pull the same crap as they did in the 2011 installment of "The Thing"; where they completely covered the practical affects in CG, you know, when it really wasn't necessary. I mean have you seen the practical stand-ins for that film, they were perfectly fine as is. But hey, it's the department of Jim Henson. And if it's anything like I saw in "The Dark Crystal", then I can't wait.

[@SomeBoiOnline]

Yeah I hope the CGI, if any, is used sparingly throughout the film.

[@stefanbroesder9608]

Oh wow it seems my wish from 7 years ago is still coming true after all

[@ethanthomsen3973]

Now all they need is the help of either Martin Walls or Squimpus McGrimpus.

[@SomeBoiOnline]

They are brilliant, some of those VHS tapes are terrifying and even superior in quality to the games in some respects. I do hope the movie incorporates some elements from them.

[@ethanthomsen3973]

@@SomeBoiOnline to be fair, when your playing a game that involves just staying in one room hoping that the animatronics don't kill you, that leaves a lot to the imagination

[@b1oomssom]

imagine it keepts getting delayed cause the springlock suit kept failing..

[@lexramstudios1386]

The best of both worlds ❤️

[@Crazy_Rabbids]

I thought they were going with a more realistic design for the animatronics. For example making Freddy look like Billy Bob from showbiz to make him look more realistic.

[@SomeBoiOnline]

I think the original designs will absolutely work in live action. The showbiz pizza animatronics are great, but I think making them look like that would just come across as unoriginal and possibly infringe on their rights.

[@BrianLyons315]

They better add Vanessa to the movie, I really like Vanessa, she's hot.

[@taraearley3691]

Could you make a video on the lost Shaun the sheep pilot please?

[@ed_ward6869]

So is this the 3rd or 4th company that's become involved?

[@nickthetrex]

Fun fact: The original script for the FNAF movie was recycled for another horror film project. The Banana Splits Movie

[@SomeBoiOnline]

Yeah I heard that, one of the ones Scott wasn't happy with I can only assume.

I’m pretty sure that the “Henson Alternative” logo might appear in the screening of the FNAF movie, just like with their last bomb from 2018.

[@joeberryman3563]

The reason I'm not interested in this film being made is the same reason I don't play the games. It's just looking through cameras and turning lights on and off the whole time!

[@SomeBoiOnline]

When you boil it down, yeah 😅 but it's the atmosphere and story that made them so engaging! However, I can only imagine this is one of the big reasons they've struggled with making a movie so much...

Although it's still unclear if he'll have any kind of involvement in the movie, as I mentioned at 4:50

[@PracticallyUseless_official]

i think you should at least be 16-17 to be a fnaf fan

[@hewziey1869]

no it's 12+

[@JimNeutronBG]

It would be hilarious kids watching this movie and thinking to themselves “hey the game wasn’t this scary 😭”

[@JoksterFox]

“Never intended for children” Can you not act like becuz it has a children audience as well as adult audience that it means the series has continued to decline?

[@SomeBoiOnline]

But it's literally a horror franchise with themes such as blood and gore, child murder and possession. The games are rated 12+. Scott Cawthon has stressed this many times to parents who allowed their children play them, before writing complaints when they were left traumatised etc. So whether you think it's led to the series' decline or not, it's simply fact that they were "never intended for children".

[@401_jake]

if the movie is Rated PG-13 and not Rated R I'm going to lose my crap. and not in a good way. basically, I would not have any expectations for the FNAF movie if it's PG-13. I guess those little kids would love the FNAF movie if it does not have any blood in it. just family friendly horror just like security breach. I'm very happy Jason is going to make the FNAF movie true and scary to its source material just like Scott and us wants it. a disturbing R rated horror movie. I'm not saying it should be like The Banana Split's Movie where the animatronics kill people in super bloody fashion, but I do want gory suit stuffing. I really do want to watch an R rated FNAF movie and get into the story. the characters seem likable if they are the actual ones.
