I am both excited and worried about this film: I really hope it to be good but I think it is difficult to happen because of a lot of reasons. I don't know, it is a great OPORTUNITY for Trosephim but watching the current quality of storytelling, plot and acting in films made by big companies I am afraid it'll be a very disapointing and comercial movie with plain stupid characters who do nonsense things like in ParanormalActivitie4
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I just really do not understand why do they put a lot of cameras in the house because creepy things are happening but they don't even revise them daily
and a lot of gore scenes (it would be horrible to watch a bloody film about the Slenderman, most if it is based on MH).
I feel a little better cause Troy has said that he have read the script, but since I know, scripts change A LOT when Hollywood comes into scene and things that should have been awesome end smelling.

I also wonder if I will be able to watch it since I am not from the USA and movies of this kind, if they don't become popular in America, are not released in Spain (and well, I would prefer to watch it in English).

Aaand, what do you think it will be about?? Maybe about Tim's chilhood? MH story but from another point of view? Another completely different story but based in MH universe?

Well, the acting and storytelling can't be a whole lot worse than MH has gotten recently with exceptionally slow pacing entry to entry and minuscule revelations that do very little for the plot of the show. The scare factor is almost non-existent now too. It is almost a chore to keep plodding along at this point.I keep hoping for a big payoff that seems less likely every day.

A big movie at least has to be condensed to 2-3 hrs and therefore will at least keep moving.

Hey how's the TTA puzzles going to work? Are they going to have a pause in the movie so you can work them out? Or is like the characters going to work them out in the movie? Like if they watched them on YouTube and then sat down and puzzled them? It would get kinda tedious for a movie I think

Well if anything, I would think that they might have puzzles in the movie like freeze frame bonuses and easter eggs. After all, the puzzles aren't typically needed to understand the story, and when they are relevant they are explicitly spelled out by Jay. Im more interested to see if there will be anything analagous to some of the more interactive portions, like live tweeting from the red tower, or any of the tweetocalypses. It would be really awesome if (at least at a premeire) people could get live tweets during a movie, although I don't think they could pull that off across the country, even if the movie becomes a huge summer blockbuster.

I'm a bit inclined to think that they'll use ARG elements leading up to the movie's premiere, like with so many ARGs on this site. I doubt they'll have too much TTA-style stuff in the movie itself, aside from the usual Maskies and Hoodies.

Without more detail, we can't even be sure it's going to follow a similar storyline to what the MH series does. It's quite possible it will be a different scenario and just use the mythos established within the MH universe.

Probably we'll just watch Jay finding messages from TTA and decoding them himself.

Funny seeing how that wasn't a problem with anyone at all. We just aren't optimistic and think it'll flop based on past Hollywood experiences. None of us want to see a movie put a bad light on series we all so dearly love, and at the same time, would love to see this movie succeed and be very good. You're just trying to act like we feel self entitled to free entertainment when we aren't at all.

I dont really think they will follow the Marble Hornets pattern. Why would people pay for something that already exists, even better, at the comfort of their homes and for free?

Horror movies are supposed to scare the hell outta you. I watched the first and second PA at night time and slept like a baby. On the other hand I barely watched the first season of MH and couldnt sleep at night for one week. Razz

Come on we watch a grown man running around in a female-like mask and we think its normal. A guy in a hood stalking people around and sending coded messages? Perfectly acceptable. Now tell me Marble Hornets isnt well produced. They were pretty convincing. Tell me you havent thought about the Operator when you are alone at your house and you hear weird sounds...

The movie most likely won't even have the same characters.

it would be sick if they took TTA, and made him a character IRL, like made it appear as if he was in the projector room putting messages into the movie itself, sort of like they made tyler durden stich porn into the reel in fight club, and then actually had small frames of porn in the movie itself.

like have Jay find his messages in the movie, then also have him hijack the reel and put messages in the film for us to figure out.

an example of this would be:

lets say Jay and Alex are talking early on in the film, then an effect appears that looks like the reel itself is being tampered with, and there's like a 5 frame message over the movie that says 'LIAR' or something, just TTA foreshadowing the plot within the plot.

I think Marble Hornets fits more as a miniseries than a film

That is so genius. If they did that this would be awesome.

Not a single person is annoyed that they're trying to make money. In fact most thought that part was awesome. We're just sceptical that's it's going to be good. It became obvious their producer doesn't understand trosephim in the slightest after the first dvd's opening disclaimer. Not to mention how crappy hollywood adaptations of almost anything is.

I would like to see how the entries will be shown. Mabye instead of just texts in the entries they will have an audio recording of Jay's voice reading the text, or mabye they will show Jay editing the entries and have a voice over of Jay while he is typing the text.
