Jason Blum has admitted he was “made fun of” for Five Nights at Freddy’s.
During an interview with IGN, the producer and Blumhouse founder explained why the upcoming horror game adaptation wasn’t an obvious choice to bring to the big screen.
“I really love a challenge,” he stated. “Scott had been working on it as a movie with a studio for a while and that didn't work out, this is many years ago. Everyone said we could never get the movie done, including, by the way, internally in my company. I was made fun of for pursuing this, this thing that could never happen, and that always lights a fire under me to say, ‘I bet I can do this’.”
Essentially, it all goes back to why Blum makes horror movies – he loves to be the underdog.
“I love horror movies because people who make horror movies are still ostracized a bit in Hollywood,” he explained. “Like, we’re thought of as lesser, even though Get Out made them kind of cooler. We're still not the cool kids by a long shot… so that's why I love horror too: I love being the underdog and overcoming something. Who doesn't? It's a lot of fun.”
Of course, Blum has proven time and again that he knows exactly what he’s doing.
Paranormal Activity was an early hit for the studio, which really set the tone for what Blumhouse could do. “After we had done Paranormal Activity, everyone said, ‘Well, it's The Blair Witch Project, it's a magic trick. There'll never be any more Paranormal Activities and there'll never be any more Blumhouse movies and this guy, Jason Blum, got lucky.’ And, you know, ‘he'll never be able to do this again.’ And the second movie we set out to do was Insidious.”
