In what’s shaping as much as be the last word unique Scream reunion, Skeet Ulrich has joined the solid of 5 Nights at Freddy’s 2 – however we do not suppose he is taking part in a killer this time round.
“I’ll say, I play any individual with a really specific and particular previous, and any individual who has a deep emotional tie to what is going on on,” Ulrich instructed the viewers at SDCC in the course of the 5 Night time’s At Freddy’s 2 panel. “Apart from that, I am probably not allowed to say. I will defer to your lawyer.”
Just a few months in the past, rumors hit the web that Henry Emily, the overarching protagonist of the FNAF video video games, would make an look in 5 Nights at Freddy’s 2. Within the video games and tie-in novels, Henry (first talked about within the 5 Nights at Freddy’s 2 online game as a lacking particular person) is the co-founder of the Freddy Fazbear franchise and created the animatronics alongside none apart from William Afton – performed by Matthew Lillard.
Ulrich and Lillard performed Billy Loomis and Stu Macher, respectively, in Wes Craven’s 1996 horror hit Scream, the place they had been each revealed to be the knife-wielding serial assassin Ghostface. 5 Nights at Freddy’s 2 marks the duo’s first onscreen look in 28 years.
“We’ve saved in contact over time. Initially, within the first, you recognize, 10 to fifteen years after Scream, we had been headed in numerous instructions. I did not actually get to see him that a lot,” Ulrich defined, when requested about his friendship with Lillard. “I began doing the signing, conference circuits and stuff like that with Matt, and we have gotten very shut. He is without doubt one of the biggest human beings I’ve ever recognized. He actually is every part you see, he’s a light-weight to so many individuals and such a superb hearted human being. So I am honored to name him a good friend now.”
It hasn’t been confirmed but that Ulrich will play Henry… however “deep emotional tie to what is going on on” tells me that it is extremely seemingly. He is positively not younger sufficient to play Michael Afton, considered one of William’s personal youngsters, and I do not suppose the film plans to tug any characters from the tie-in novel The Silver Eyes (although Henry Emily does make an look on this one as effectively).
