## Production

Production was slated to start in September 2017 but the film never got anywhere. The project was rediscovered by producer Darren A. Nichols in April 2020. A few weeks later in May, the project was greenlit for production, with NancerMetropolitan Entertainment on board as an international distributor and MKE Films (via MKE Film Distributors) for the UK release, with everyone from FBEG writing such as EJ, Darren, Dan, and Sam. However later that month EJ removed his name from a multitude of projects and cut ties with producer GlideFan C. Mikkelson for unknown reasons. Days later MKE was folded into FBEG and NancerMetropolitan Entertainment took over the UK release. On June 8, it was announced that Tanner Goethals Entertainment would be taking over MKE's spot. NancerMedia employee Goethals also came on board as co-director. The film is currently slated to be released by FBEG's Fredbear Studios label on August 14, 2023. On June 12, 2020, Nancer Features and New Metropolitan Pictures were merged into NancerMetropolitan Pictures, resulting in Nancer Features to no longer be involved with the project. The film will still be distributed in the international market by NancerMetropolitan Entertainment. On July 20, 2020, nine days after Fredbear changed its name to Horizon City, NancerMetropolitan sold them off due to executive and corporate problems, which led their name to be removed as a production company and international distributor until things got sorted out. As of September 2, 2020, everything's been resolved. On December 29, 2020, after Harmonic Entertainment closed operations due to toxicity, drama, and lossing staff, Tanner Goethals Entertainment took over the distribution in United States and Canada. And also, it was announced that GlideFan C. Mikkelson (the film's producer and screenwriter) was fired from project for commiting toxic and dramatic crimes in social media, throwing a fit in streams, sending threats to Darren A. Nichols to come back to Harmonic to death. His voice roles won't be recast, but his work will go uncredited.
