quote:

Screen Gems is developing a film based off the internet meme Slender Man, sources have confirmed exclusively to Comicbook.com. The film, based on the recent horror icon, has a script by David Birke already, and is seeking a Fall 2016 production for a 2017 release.

The character Slender Man was created in a Something Awful forum contest to make everyday photographs look supernatural. When Eric Knudsen, posting as "Victor Surge" posted two photos of children with an unnaturally tall, thin man behind them wearing a black suit. The character abducted children and influenced people to commit terrible acts, according to Knudsen's lore. Other posters added to the character's lore, leading to short films, video games, and pop culture references. The character has drawn similarities to entities such as "The Gentelemen" on Buffy the Vampire Slayer and "The Silence" on Doctor Who.


I hope these "other posters" are getting a large hollywood check. Unless this Screen Gems is a modern day ebaums world.

Can't wait for the ensuing thread - "I can't believe CineD is defending this splendorman movie."
