People for the few that don't go on SM forums, we made a thread for that movie, and we all agree it's B.S.

1. I highly doubt rights are needed. Surely he hasn't copyrighted the concept?
2. The creators of Marble Hornets are profiting from the concept.

No one owns Slenderman rights. That's the sad truth--Hollywood could rape Slenderman into profitdom if they wanted to.

Mate, while I admire your passion, I'm not sure 'rape' is the right word to use. 'Cash in' or exploit might be a better phrases to use.

Surely the rights would lie with the original artist, though? (And surely he or she would get a cut of the Marble Hornets DVD sales?)

But the word does have a specific connotation regarding a particular violation of a person - not at all appropriate when discussing a character being commercialised for Hollywood.

Dictionary time rape does mean to plunder and law definiton to grab woman there with no consent by her.

Given the strength of many recent horror movies - in my opinion - Paranormal Activity, The Last Exorcism (a bit preachy for my taste, but heh) (and from what I've heard) Insidious, there's a good chance that an adaptation could be good. Horror seems to be undergoing a nice return to form at the moment, returning to genuine chills rather then bizarre perverse violence.

Given the popularity of Paranormal Activity and the way that the sequels have been treated (not without their flaws, particularly being sequels to a film which didn't need a sequel) retaining the atmosphere and understanding the mechanics of what made the original film work (as opposed to Blair Witch 2), it seems more than likely that studios would get what makes Marble Hornets work, rather than ruin it.

So, I do have some hope for a Hollywood adaptation, if it ever occurs.

Hey Punxtr, I didn't mean to single you out or anything...it's just, yeah, I do have objections to that word being used like that.
