Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 is set to begin filming very soon, according to a new report.
As perCollider, the horror sequel – based on the viral video game sensation created by Scott Cawthon – will start production next month. Star Matthew Lillardhad previously saidhe would be filming the movie in October in an interview withYouTubers' Jaybee and Milly’s Scooby-Doo channel.
