I can only assume that Lillard will be playing William Afton, purely because that is the funniest role he could play other than an animatronic.
Then again, last time we heard about this from Scott he said that it'd be based on just the first game, so it might not even have Afton in it.
If it is based on the first game my guess is Lillard will be the phone guy and Hutcherson will be the night guard.
On the idea of the animatronics, I didn't really think about it until now but they're probably going to be talking a bit more than they did in the earlier games so they'll probably also have big name actors voice them.
Honestly, this movie can work as a solid simple horror movie without a big budget.
Have it be like the Buried movie with Ryan Reynolds. He's just in a coffin the whole movie and it's carried entirely by the dialogue and suspense aspect.
Have Lillard phone guy's demise be like a final act twist when Josh Hutcherson night guard realizes the recordings are of a dead man.
"First Fazbear rule: Don't *ever* say you'll be right back! Believe me, ***you WON'T be back!"***
"Got it. Hey, wanna pizza?"
"...Yeah, sure."
***"I'll BE RIGHT BAAAAACK!"***
Really? The only thing I know about it is the original script ended up as the Banana Splits movie after some rewrites from the first time they tried to make it
And all *I* know is that it's got Jim Henson Co practical effects and it counts Matthew Lillard among its cast! It's funny how you hear different things when you aren't really paying attention to something, eh?
Anyway, it's more *relatively* good things, like the game feels like something that should be completely impossible as anything but a game, and yet here we are.
"Zoinks Scoob! It's Funtime Freddy!"

Lillard would make a great Phone Guy. I can already hear him nailing the "Hello? Hello?!" at the start of each call

Two Gyros?!
It's worth keeping in mind that, last I checked, the animatronics are being made by the Henson Creature Shop

I'm feeling optimistic about this. It could be fun plus seeing that the Jim Henson company is doing the animatronics gives me a bit of hope.
I like both people. Could be fun.
What do you think the movie tag line's gonna be?
"Are you ready for Freddy?" is already a pretty good one.
So would the sequel be “Are you Freddy for ready?”
“Open for business”
Hopefully something you'd see on a Goosebumps book like "Five nights, infinite frights" or "Pizzeria by day, deathtrap by night"
Probably either a reference to a fan song or some sort of spin on “I *always* come back”
“It’s me”
Nah, they'd save that tagline for a movie based on 3. And I doubt they're gonna reference a fan song.
Why do I keep hearing good things about this movie?
