      Gotta get attached to as many projects as possible before his next movie bombs and he’s back in Director Jail

      This is good news.

      Scott Cawthon may have created the FNAF universe, but he’s not a very good movie writer. At the very least having a writer pen the script to his story could help this franchise a good deal.

      Wow! That’s… quite the get.

      No, really. Impressed. Just hope he’s not slumming it. An IP this big deserves at least one genuinely good motion picture, right?

      I get the feeling this actually refers to Gary Dauberman and Skeet Ulrich meant It and It chapter 2. Makes more sense looking at writing credits.

      I’m going to have to wait for actual confirmation of this particularly since David had nothing to do with “It”. The first It movie was written by Gary Dauberman, Cary Fukunaga, and Chase Palmer. I could definitely buy that Gary’s writing it. But David being behind it would be legitimately shocking. Especially since by all accounts he’s prepping for They Follow (Naomi Ackie was recently announced as joining Maika in it).

      Good. Glad to see they’re getting another writer and “It Follows” is a great film.

      Fnaf fans would honestly watch anything and call it good, but I’m happy that they’re making an effort to make the 3rd one actually good. Under Swan Lake and It Follows are bangers, and apparently The End of Oak Street is great even if it’s likely going to flop.

      I thought Cawthon would continue writing these, but I like that a lot. Hopefully he’ll make it an actually good movie.

      Well, you know what they say third times a charm OK but in all seriousness though, I think Fnaf three may have a chance of being good since it follows is genuinely a really damn good movie now I’m not saying it’s guaranteed but I’m just saying it has a chance now and I never thought I’d be saying that, but after the abysmal previous 2 Fnaf movies I’m not gonna get my expectations too high, but I am hoping that they prove me wrong that this third movie is the one where they get it right and if they get it right that means we won’t have to deal with any of the critics versus fans divide that we had to deal with for the previous two Fnaf movies

      Glad they’re getting a new writer. They should never let Cawthon write solo again after FNaF 2.

      it follows proved mitchell can build real tension out of simple concepts so this could work if the fnaf script actually gives him something to work with. the games are more about atmosphere and lore than plot though, so itll depend on whether he tries to force a traditional story or leans into the weird unsettling stuff that makes the source material interesting in the first place. either way beats whatever the first movie was doing.

    19. Laurel-Hardy-Fan on

      I wish he was writing something I have even a remote interest in seeing. Hopefully this leads to more work from him in the future, It Follows and Under the Silver Lake were excellent

      “The guy who wrote It and It Follows” makes me think that he’s confusing It Follows for It Chapter 2. In which case, yeah, getting the guy who wrote the Annabelle movies makes more sense for this franchise.
