Movies The Backrooms movie in the works! Chiwetel Ejiofor & Cristin Milioti Eyed To Star - Post #18

If you're not careful and noclip out of reality in the wrong areas you'll end up in the Backrooms where it's nothing but the stink of old moist carpet, the madness of mono-yellow, the endless background noise of fluorescent lights at maximum hum-buzz, and approximately six hundred million square miles of randomly segmented empty rooms to be trapped in. God save you if you hear something wandering around nearby because it sure as hell has heard you.

I thought you are talking about this kind of backroom

First one was pretty awesome so far. Kinda like Cube mix with Slenderman.

It originated on creepypasta. They were talking about spooky liminal spaces and someone posted this picture:

Then someone responded to that pic with the OP quote. Thus The Backrooms were born.

No show. Hollywood would probably (surely) fuck it up.

zzzzzz

First one was pretty awesome so far. Kinda like Cube mix with Slenderman.

The first video is a "new concept" of the Backrooms (entities lurking in the corridors) and the second video is the original concept of the Backrooms (just empty corridors with nothing).

I find them both to be quite spooky but the second vid might be the best because it lets the Backrooms be the thing that's scary, not the things within. Since there's nothing within, it's a battle with your own mind. There's nothing to get you, but how long before you go crazy from "the thought" that something might be there to get you?

It is a video game now

It is a video game now

I'd like to see a AAA-level survival horror backrooms game made. If they did it just like the indie games, or as good as the videos above, that would be an insane game!

 

[Adamant]

These are great! If you have any interest in spooky atmosphere, check these out. They are quite creepy. There's actually a bit of a story to follow so pay attention.




The guy who makes them has done such a good job with the backrooms on his channel that film studio A24 has hired him to make an official Backrooms movie. He gets to write and direct it! But because he's so young (17) James Wan is going to shepherd him (damn!). If they really let him do what he wants to do, I don't see how this could be bad. It's gonna be awesome!

I remember that couch!

 

[blaseblase]

I remember that couch!

You've been on it?

 

[Osculater]

You've been on it?

Naw, I was kicked out so I didn't get to see anything

 

[Rob Battisti]

I watched a number of these and a few of them give an incredibly unsettling feeling.

It’s a cool concept.

 

[Jack Reacheround]

approximately six hundred million square miles of randomly segmented empty rooms

How about they give that space to the homeless instead of whatever this fad shit is?


There, I just solved homelessness.

Chiwetel Ejiofor & Cristin Milioti Eyed To Star In ‘The Backrooms’ At A24​

Chiwetel Ejiofor and Cristin Milioti are in talks to star in The Backrooms, A24‘s sci-fi horror flick based on the viral series of found-footage videos from Kane Parsons, Deadline can confirm.

Reps for the studio declined to comment. No word on the roles to be played by the duo, and their deals may not make in the end, as it’s still early days here. We were first to report on the project back in 2023, and while its plot remains a mystery, the ’90s-set original short watches as a young filmmaker’s fall into another dimension leaves him wandering through an unsettlingly yellow, empty and labyrinthine office space, which may or may not be home to otherworldly beings. The film’s title and setting draw inspiration from the imagery of a creepypasta (or internet urban legend) published to the website 4chan in 2019.

A prodigy of a filmmaker and VFX artist barely out of high school, Parsons shot his YouTube following into the stratosphere with the viral success of his mysterious short, “The Backrooms (Found Footage).” It’s the first in a series of found-footage horror videos which have garnered many, many millions of views online and will now be adapted for the big screen by A24, Atomic Monster, Chernin Entertainment and 21 Laps.

Parsons will direct from a script by Roberto Patino. Shawn Levy, Dan Cohen and Dan Levine will produce for 21 Laps, along with James Wan and Michael Clear for Atomic Monster, and Patino. Alayna Glasthal is overseeing for Atomic Monster, with Judson Scott exec producing for the company alongside White.e

Idk how this will be a full length movie, but the whole concept is wild and unsettling.
