Actor Matthew Lillard at a press event for NBCUniversal.

The movie adaptation of Five Nights at Freddy's has been in the works for a few years now. With a handful of delays and changes in creative teams, plus the recent release of two movies fairly similar to ScottGames' horror game franchise, you would think that the Five Nights movie wouldn't get made. The film has cast its first pair of actors for the film.

Matthew and Josh are both going to be in the film. In addition to playing Shaggy in the live-action movies, he was in 13 Ghosts, Bloodsucking Bastards, and multiple Scream movies. He played the character of Shaggy in a horror movie. He has voiced the character in a number of films and shows from the 2010s onward. Hutcherson is best known for his role as Peeta from the Hunger Games films, as well as for his role in Future Man and Journey 2: The Mysterious island.

For those not aware, Five Nights at Freddy's is a series of games about a fictional kids' restaurant chain and the poor souls who have to defend themselves against an expanding roster of very hostile animatronic animals. The series has grown into a larger media world with graphic novels and books.

The movie will start production in February.
