The official trailer for the Five Nights at Freddy's movie was released, revealing various details and Easter eggs. The trailer introduces the protagonist, Mike Schmidt, who is portrayed by Josh Hutcherson. Mike is struggling financially, as indicated by a delinquency notice on his home. He applies for a job as a security guard at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza Place, where he interacts with a career counselor using the alias Steve Raglan (likely William Afton).
The trailer includes references to the game lore, such as the purple tie worn by William Afton (Steve Raglan), a nod to the Purple Guy character. Mike's home features a light blue door, possibly referencing a location from a FNAF minigame. In Mike's home, there's a sun clock reminiscent of Sister Location, and Mike's yellow tie contrasts with William's purple tie, symbolizing their family connection.
William Afton discusses the history of Freddy's, indicating that it was a popular place in the '80s but has since closed down. Mike, accompanied by his sister Abby, takes a job as a security guard at the restaurant due to financial difficulties. The trailer also shows glimpses of the animatronics, which are practical and working.
Various scenes in the trailer reveal the animatronics' possession by children's spirits and foreshadow the danger they pose. Foxy, Bonnie, Chica, and Mr. Cupcake are featured, with their red eyes indicating their malevolent state. Vanessa, a police officer, and Mike investigate the mysteries surrounding Freddy's, including the unsolved disappearances of children from the '80s.
The trailer suggests that the animatronics may not be entirely malevolent, and there could be a desire to protect Abby rather than harm her. Mike's hallucinations and the appearance of Springbonnie hint at the movie's horror elements. The trailer also teases a possible recreation of the Bite of '83 and showcases other characters like Carl, Hank, Max, and Mike's younger brother Garret.
In summary, the Five Nights at Freddy's movie trailer offers a glimpse into the film's storyline, its connection to the game lore, and the horror elements that fans can expect.
