For starters I'm wondering what kind of actor they'll bring in I don't know much about actors/actresses. Dear god imagine if the phone guy was voiced by Johnny Depp. Would the movie literally just be: sitting in the same room for hours on end. What are your preferences and ideas on this movie? Discuss.

A) for it not to suck.
B) to give us lore.
I actually expect it to be filling in the background of Purple Guy and the killings. That seems like the logical option.

Scotty C himself. It could be a significant role, it could be just a cameo.
It's got some talented people attached already, & I trust their judgement, but if Phone Guy is in the movie, & he's voiced by someone else, it would just make me feel dirty.
And yes, as ProfessorRivers said, expanding on the killer would be nice.
It's one thing to know what he did. It would be another to know why.
As much as I love the mystery element of the games, a good movie needs the characters to have motives behind their actions.

It to not happen
It to not be shit

Balloon Boy dies.

Tbh all the puppets can just go die. … Again.

Markiplier stars as Mike Schmidt/whatever main character.

1. More on Purple Guy and the killings.

2. Have more than just one location in it.

3. Show us the animatronics stuffing a poor sap into one of the suits with full detail. Remind us why people were scared in the first place.

1. A strong 15 or 18 (Or R) Rating, I'm not american. Somehow I just see the producers chickening out of this.

2. Give us some new content not seen in the games, (As long as scott has a part in this, I trust the story will be decent)

Can't really think of anything else, but if it does these things, I'll probably enjoy it.

For it to be just as good as it seems like it will be, because come on, the director is a fan of the games, and he'll be faithful to the lore, and Scott Cawthon's helping him and everything.

From what I've seen, one of the greatest reasons why video game-adapted movies always seem to suck is that the actual characters are neglected due to the filmmakers being distracted by the desire to recreate the "environment" of the source meterial. This is a mistake that they absolutely have to avoid in order to turn out a solid product. In fact, it especially applies in this case- you're going from a medium that allowed for one to feel imediate empathy for the protagonist due to acting as him to another where that is impossible.

Well….I only have a few big ones.

1. For it not to pander to the 8-12yr old demographic that only watch the game through PewDiePie and other LPers. Essentially, a more mature but not necessarily "gritty" genuinely scary movie.

2. For the atmosphere to be maintained with a genuine respect for the lore

3. To actually write characters instead of cardboard cutouts

4. Effort. Not a cash cow that will make money because it's popular. Honest effort.
