Five Nights at Freddy’s director Emma Tammi told us why she wanted to get influencers involved in the film in an exclusive interview.
Five Nights at Freddy’s is an extremely popular franchise, having spawned many fan games, spin-off titles, and even novels at this point.
A large portion of the FNAF community exists online, with many famous YouTubers becoming extremely famous playing horror games for an audience of millions.
Names like CoryxKenshin and Markiplier come to mind, both of whom received widespread acclaim for playing through many of the FNAF games on the market in the late 2010s.
It is already known that Cory plays a cameo in the film. In fact, the YouTube star got her time to shine in the movie’s trailers, showing off her acting skills in a humorous scene.
Other YouTubers also appeared briefly in the Fazbear’s Pizza scene, with the likes of 8-bit Ryan, Dawko and Razzbowski getting their photos on the ‘Employee of the Month’ board on set.
Emma Tammi is “honored” to include influencers in the FNAF film
We spoke to FNAF director Emma Tammi about why she decided to include influencers in the film and what it’s like to direct them.
According to Tammi, it was an “honor” to have the community participate in the film and help the crew feel “validated” about the film resonating with fans.
“It was so much fun and such an honor to have them there and get them so excited about the project,” she told us. “And also confirmation that what we’re doing is really going to resonate with the fan base.”
“They were really sweet and gave their all to the roles they were playing. I’m really proud of the cameos in the film.”
While several big names have roles in the film, YouTube star Markiplier confirmed that he was unfortunately unable to film the film due to scheduling conflicts with his own project, Iron Lung.
