Director Emma Tammi joins Popcorn Podcast to reveal how she expanded the world of Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 with bigger animatronics, deeper mythology and a Scream reunion fans won’t want to miss. The sequel explores the emotional journey of Mike (Josh Hutcherson), Abby (Piper Rubio) and Vanessa (Elizabeth Lail), opening up new corners of the FNaF mythology while also pushing practical effects to their absolute limit. With Jim Henson’s Creature Shop back in full force, this film features animatronic designs that, in Tammi’s words, “Don’t obey the laws of physics!”More Popcorn: Inside Black Phone 2 with rising star Madeleine McGrawDacre Montgomery on new film, trauma and farewelling Stranger ThingsKnow someone who loves movies?
