funny thing, tho. we couldn't stop one if we tried. nobody actually *owns* the concept of slendy.

but if hollywood did make a slendyfilm, then *they* might wind up with the rights to it.

how fucked-up is that?

 		My god, I'm posting in the Off Topic Thread? It's so intimidating and big!

For a Slenderman movie, what about Sam Raimi? Y'know, the guy who did the Evil Dead Trilogy? He was pretty innovative with camera angles, pretty much invented the 'evil monster moving through the forest' shot. Plus, considering some of the scenes with Bruce Campbell slowly going kind of mad, I think he could pull of Slendercrazies well.

 		Couldn't we just have an Evil Dead 4?

Raven is right, a movie studio could end up with sole rights to Slendy, which would be awful.

I just fear that as it gets more popular that this is going to happen. And then all our blogs, vlogs and args will be rendered just fanfics

Well the answer to that is simple:

Orginality.

We need to branch out, go crazy with different concepts of slenderman. Out of these jillions of new blogs, few have yet introduced new themes, ideas. (at least that i've seen.)

If the slenderman mythos becomes properly vague (as it was in the orginal SA thread).. it might help discourage hollywood. Or, even should they make an SM movie, such a movie wouldn't render all previous stuff fanfics- or at least not pale imitation fanfics.

Here's an idea: convince Troy and the EMH crew, and maybe the guy behind TribeTwelve (don't remember his legal name) to register the rights to Slenderman, with Victor Surge on the coalition as well (if he's interested, another suitable forum representative or several if he's not), and then they lease the rights out for the purpose of making real movies with real budgets.

That way Hollywood movies are still possible, and those with the rights can ensure real creative control.

(It also allows for the possibility of a Marble Hornets/EMH/TribeTwelve crossover, which I know I'm not alone in wanting.)

 		I have lost the ability to say the word "habit" without adding an evil undertone to it.

"Why did you do that?"
"I dunno, I guess force of HABIT.
YOURS,"
Twisted Evil

It's led to many a interesting conversation.

While that (buying the rights so that hollywood coudldn't screw it up so badly and maybe we'd get some real bigscreen stuff) would be just epicly-internet-warping-amazing, I really doubt that it would happen. I mean we can hope, but if I were you, I wouldn't hold my breath.

 		Hollywood horror doesn't usually revolve around antagonists who just kinda stand around and ... that's it.

I just can't hear it the same way now pff. I was listening to some song by Modest Mouse (I forget which) and it said habit at one point and I was like "WAITWHAT"

also I almost capitalized habit just now ffft

And a movie would be rad if done right, if only for what they could do with a higher budget. Though I disagree with having the Evil Dead guy direct, those...don't really seem to mesh. Nothing against Evil Dead though, haha.

QFT. I can't see a Slenderman movie going well at all.

Exactly-- so they'd turn it into a more "traditional" monster with the stalking and kidnapping and killing, and then the heroes would defeat it at the end. While I might want a "happy" ending for EMH, I don't think I'd buy them defeating Slendy once and for all. (Unless their Slenders turns out to be something WAAAAY different than normal conceptions of him.)

tl;dr - 99.99999% chance Slenderman movie would suck hardcore, mmkay?

Agreed, the movie would suck, though I would totally be in favor of someone getting and locking up the rights to keep Hollywood from touching it and to keep the character publicly available.

I can just picture the nightmare scenario now... Hollywood buys the rights and makes a movie, then shuts down the big three's Youtube's with BS DMCA notices... *shudders*

 		There's a lot of J-Horror movies that handle supernatural entities like Slendy and do it well. The only difference is that they all have purpose/motivation/rules for why they're doing what they're doing and that doesn't really work here.

Once you define what Slendy is you're kinda missing the point.

E: But that's also why some of these series are so hard to get through/fail before they start. The MH/EMH crew were smart enough to figure out that they need another antagonist to keep the plot moving or else it would implode.

Might it be possible to argue that the concept of Slenderman is public domain? He was created collaboratively, after all, even if Victor Surge first introduced it, others have added just as much and have built upon one another. Also, Troy and Joseph might be sparred on a technicality in the case of a Hollywood copyright apocalypse since they call Slendy "The Operator."

Depends on how many judges and senators the movie studio can buy off.
