Chris Columbus (Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, Pixels) has signed on as director for Blumhouse Productions’ upcoming Five Nights at Freddy’s movie adaptation. Based on the video game series of the same name, Five Nights at Freddy’s has earned a reputation of being as bizarre as it is scary, pitting a lone security guard against sentient animatronic robots. While the director of films like Home Alone, Mrs. Doubtfire, and the first two Harry Potter movies might seem like an odd fit, Columbus actually started his career in fantasy/horror; his first spec script in Hollywood was the comedic creature feature Gremlins....

Disney has released the official schedule for the D23 2019 Expo. Founded in 2009, D23 is a biannual event that previews the Mouse House’s upcoming movie and TV projects. It’s more of a press and industry convention than San Diego Comic-Con, but has started to rival (and even exceed) SDCC when it comes to making major headlines in recent years.
