Creating animated films takes a long time, and this one is being carefully developed, not hurried. Netflix and Sony have finalized agreements with directors Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans and have already begun production. While they haven’t confirmed whether the sequel will be shown in many theaters, the success of the first film suggests they’ll likely consider a wider release.
Watch the teaser below.
The new trailer reveals Abby (Piper Rubio) will be a key character again, running away to find the animatronics—Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, and Foxy—even though her brother Mike (Josh Hutcherson) and Vanessa (Elizabeth Lail) are trying to keep her safe and shield her from a difficult truth. This decision unleashes a series of frightening events and ultimately exposes hidden secrets about the history of Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza.
The latest preview introduces the show’s Hollywood backdrop and overall feel. It begins with a news report revealing that director Von Kovak is returning to filmmaking with a remake of Wonder Man, generating excitement within the industry. You can watch it below.
I recently read an interview with Russell Crowe on 60 Minutes Australia, and it was fascinating! He mentioned that getting to play Ramirez in Highlander finally let him use a Spanish accent – something director Ridley Scott wouldn’t allow him to do when they were making Gladiator. Apparently, Scott was very particular about how everyone sounded in that film!
The audience rating will be available after the movie is released in more theaters. This places Dan Trachtenberg’s new film, a sequel to Prey, in a strong position for the series.
According to THR, Siobhán Cullen, Jun Jong-seo, Nassim Lyes, and Kevin McKidd have been cast in the movie, joining an already impressive group of actors.
According to Variety, the studio is planning a new “Star Trek” film and won’t be bringing back the actors from the recent movies—Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, and Karl Urban. This means they’re starting fresh with a new story and won’t be continuing the timeline that began with the 2009 film.
Industry sources have confirmed that the new film will be directed by Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, the duo known as Radio Silence.
World of Reel notes that the report even frames the future Paramount as potentially MAGA-friendly.
