 		 Let's Create a SlenderMan Movie (Written by you)
I want the community of SlenderMan Fans to help write the script to a movie that we will create.
My name is Randy Mitchell and I represent I.F.Studios and we want to make the first full length Slender Man Movie, written by the internet. This movie will be free on YouTube. It's main goal is following 6 kids that come in contact with Billy. Billy is a character who is currently possessed by Slender Man. Billy is living his life in the realm that Slender calls home, but since only your soul can live in the Slender Realm, you body is free for Slender to posses and do what he wants.

The six kids come in contact with Billy, who convinces them to follow him into the woods in search of a better life.
Tyler (Main Character)
Jessica (The girl of Tyler's Dream)
Josh
Courtney
Justin
Steven

On their walk into the woods the start to talk about Billy (Who is leading them but far out of hearing range). How he is so distant, and how he never seems to say a word, almost like you just know what he wants. They are mostly explaining this to Jessica who was brought by Josh and never actually met Billy.

Suddenly Billy (Slender) becomes aware of the conversation and much like the sounds you hear from Audio and Video recording software the comes in contact with Slender, all the Teens ears start hearing the same high pitch ringing sound. They soon drop to the ground and .....

They wake up in separate places. Only Tyler is shown. He grabs his ear, it's bleeding. He hears a scream, it's Jessica. "I'm COMING" he screams. He runs. The screen darkens. A chain fence is heard (As he climbs it). SLENDER....

That's it, I have given you the characters, and the beginning plot. You write whatever you want. What happens? Slender man controls thoughts, provokes dreams, changes and erases memories, is there a way out? Are they ever safe? You decide, you reply.

(Everything you will write will be adapted and someway be in the movie, we are pledging a goal of 50 thousand dollars on Indiegogo, I will post the link later in replies on this forum. The more we raise, the more crazy events you describe will happen. See you soon and happy creating.)



Here is the script so far as this was originally posted on Reddit and has moved across many platforms to get the best results from the widest arrea of fans.




Spoiler (Rollover to View):
(Tyler Standing in front of camera. Focused on Billy sitting on a bench in front of him motionless)

Tyler: I Don't see how I can do that, I can't just leave, I can't just run away.

(Tyler pacing back and forth in front of the camera talking to Billy)
Tyler: You know my parents aren't like that though, they love me, not like your's.
(Camera Shot)
Tyler: STOP! Stop saying that about them, they love me

(Tyler turns around to face the camera and walks off shot. Focus drawn to Billy as the camera starts to fuzz and jumps to Slender standing behind Billy with Slenders hand on Billy's shoulder. Billy motionless with a terrified look and suddenly pasty white face)
(Slender disappears as tyler starts to turn around)

Tyler: Fine, I'll come check it out, but no guarantee if I am staying.



(End Of Scene)


(Tyler fiddles with a camera, then turns it on to reveal him facing a mirror)
Tyler: Well I decided to run away, but, I am not staying. Well I might. I just want to check it out first, make sure it is really what I want to do before I stay. So I decided to bring this camera with me. I don't actually have a reason, I guess just to have it.

(Tyler shuts camera off.)
(Camera turns on during packing and leaving for a couple seconds)




(Tyler leaving for school in the morning with an over packed backpack. Just as he opens the door)

Mom: Tyler honey? Is that you?
Tyler: Yes Mom?

(Mom walks around the corner)

Mom: Tyler honey, why are you leaving so early? It's only 6:30?
Tyler: I have band practice Mom, I need to be their early so we can practice for the concert next weekend.
Mom: Oh, where's your instrument?
Tyler: I left it at school Mom.
Mom: Do you want a drive?
Tyler: No Mom!
Mom: Oh, well alright. Have a good day, I love you.
Tyler: Yeah....I love you too mom.

(Tyler shuts the door, takes a deep breath to hold in the tears and walks away)



(Tyler walks up to the other kids and is surprised to see other people there. The second he makes Eye contact with Billy, Billy turns around and leaves, walking into the woods. The kids stand around confused and follow him falling into pairs with Tyler trailing in the back with no one beside him)

Jess: Hey, HEY! What's the hurry? (Jess runs up from behind)
Tyler: I guess Billy has somewhere to be.
Jess: Tyler, you're here too? (Surprised)
Tyler: Jess? Yeah..(Shocked and love struck) ..yeah, of course I would be here. I wouldn't miss out on this for the world.
Jess: Yeah, same...
Josh: Jess, I told you Billy was the one taking us to the better place.
Jess: Oh Crap! Josh? I didn't even see you there.
Josh: Well I didn't know you were so in love with Tyler, or I would've mentioned that he was here too.
Jess & Tyler: We're not in love.
Jess & Tyler: That was weird.
Jess: Anyway, who the hell is Billy.
Josh: He is Billy.
Jess: Hi Billy!
Billy: (Silence)
Jess: Not a talker I guess...
Tyler: You could say that.
Jess: So where are we going?
Josh: Some sort of hidden Tree Forest where kids live.
Steven (Beside Josh): Kinda like Peter Pan.
Josh: Except we aren't a bunch of gay kids.
Courtney: And now captain Hook. (In front of Josh)
Jess: Seems a little suspicious, how come I haven't heard of this secret forest before?
Justin (Beside Courtney): They say a million and a half years ago when we were all caveman, and they used to beat their children. They decided to all run away and they made this Tree Forest, then when they turn 18 they were either killed or just appeared out of the forest all adults.
Steven: Shut up Justin.
Jess: So then it is like peter pan.
Tyler: Don't listen to them. That's not what Billy said at all.
Jess: Then what did he say?
Tyler: He just said that life would be better out here, that we wouldn't have to worry about bullies and he and the people that recruit people make sure that everyone wants to get along. and isn't like a secret killer.
Justin: Then why is Josh here.
Josh: Shut up Tompkins!
Justin: Oue scared!
Courtney: What else did Billy say?
Tyler: Didn't you talk to him?
Josh: No, I told her.
Tyler: Well, I don't know really. He doesn't say much.
Josh: Actually he doesn't really say anything, you just kinda know what he want's to tell you.
Jess: Like he is psychic or deaf?
Tyler: No, more like...It just...It's like he talks to your brain.
Courtney: How is that possible...?
Tyler: I am not sure, it just kinda happens.
Jess: This is all very weird..

(Billy noticing what the group is talking about stops and starts to turn around. As he does a loud ear piercing sound is heard and the entire group drops to the knees and covers their ears, as the start to black out. All except Billy who just stands there and watches.)

 		This is all very elaborately written, but please take not of this.

DO NOT CALL HIM "SLENDER".

Slender Man fans find that to be one of their biggest pet peeves in the Slenderverse, because it causes the newer fans that came from the game to think that his canon name is Slender, when it actually is Slender Man, or the Slender Man, or the Slenderman. Just because the game is named "Slender" doesn't mean that the entity is named Slender.

 		1. As mentioned, don't call Slenderman Slender.
2. Don't repeat any names from Marble Hornets. In other words, no Jessica.
3. You seem to have just played Slender: The Eight Pages and called it a day. Immerse yourself in the mythos before tackling a movie.
4. This is not the first feature-length Slenderman film.
5. Use proper grammar.
6. The "romance" is written like it's from a kid's film.
7. A... "tree forest"? Like a forest with trees in it? So, like... a forest?

Spend a year or so gaining proper understanding of Slenderman and how to write a story. Then maybe come back.

 		I didn't mean to offend anyone, and not to be rude or anything but I called him slender because it's a short form of slender, I think if people get upset by that name it's more their own problem. I've studied the slenderman for a year and a half already and the other people here at I.f.studios thought it be a good idea to include the fans, but but no means are we forcing any hands. If you'd rather not help, then don't. As for the game reference, I never played it, it doesn't look like a very interesting game.

Oh no you won't. Do not post links to Kickstarters or Indiegogo pages on UF, it will be deleted.

{also FYI to anyone who doesn't know and does decide to donate to this kid - indiegogo unlike kickstarter takes your money even if they don't hit goal. So don't just donate to indigogo SM pages "for fun" cause you will be SOL&$}

Then you would know that he's called Slenderman and not Slender. It's not a "problem" of individuals, it's more of a collective fact of the mythos itself that he's called the Slenderman.

Regardless, don't call him Slenderman in the film either! Usually "that thing" "the man" or something that sounds concealing/unknown are used, to avoid using Slendy's actual name. Throw some creativity in there! "It", "the tall man", "watcher", stuff like that, while not shockingly creative, are better than flat-out using the name.

And if the name "Slenderman" is used, it should be based on research done in the actual film by the characters, not out of nowhere. And Slenderman himself should, by no means, refer to himself as Slenderman, whether he's possessing someone in your story or not. Keep in mind that, this is all criticism. Don't get offended by my opinions, because that's all they are.

The game reference is cheap, especially if:

Seriously? Making a reference to something you haven't even participated in is poor judgement, in my opinion. If anything, making references to other series in the vlog mythos/original mythos would be a much more effective draw-in for an overall better fanbase experience. If you're looking to attract fans of the Slender game, then you're missing the point of the Slenderman fandom in general, and all that "study" you've claimed to have done on Slenderman has been less than effective on your judgment of what a viewer would like.

I, too, will pass on participation in this.

Keep in mind that, if you're posting on a forum that relates to the "Slender Man Mythos" then you should expect that the fans and commenters (as well as creators of actual Slenderman series) know what they're talking about when it comes to this sort of thing. You're not the only one here that knows a lot about Slenderman, hence the forum topic.

Good luck with the project.

His cross post on SlenderNation (I can't find any posts on Reddit) lists the working title of the movie as "Slender's Game." At least he didn't drop THAT on us.

Look.... here's the thing. It doesn't really feel appropriate to come into a community that you aren't even trying to be a part of and ask us not only to write your project... but potentially pay for it?

Show us you know the subject, show us you care for the fans, show us a sizzle reel for your company so that we can get excited about the potential product....

 		I don't get it though, he's ignoring basic knowledge regarding something that filmmakers should know.

I mean, he's making a film based on something. That means that that source material could have a fandom that knows the original concept well.

...Unless he's taking the Hollywood approach and butchering it in whichever way he sees fit.

 		So.... checking the SlenderNation thread I see that they have added this:

Quote:
DISCLAIMER: IF YOU SEE THIS POST ON ANY OTHER SLENDERMAN BASSED[sic] WEBSITES/BLOGS IT IS NOT THE WORK OF THE TRUE I.F.STUDIOS. WE DO NOT KNOW WHO IS POSTING IT AND HAVE NO AFFILIATION WITH HIM/HER.


Since the only other place I can find it posted is.... here... I'm now really curious what's up. "I.F.Studios" also turns up NOTHING in the way of web presence.

(I'm SO close to locking this thread...)

 		Hello,

My name is Randy Mitchell. I got an email to my email at Wackyea(AT)Gmail.com about this post and I am begging you to remove this off the internet. You won't find anything about I.F.Studios because the company is new and not even registered as a real business. I registered an account a couple days ago and refereed to SlenderMan as Slender. It was a stupid mistake and I admit that I am a noob to the Slenderverse. I didn't know much about him and I really didn't want to offend people. I joined the forum to learn with the SlenderNation community and on a forum that I posted called Slender's Game. After a short amount of time I was told to change the name as it offended people. Please, please I beg you to lock and remove this thread, I posted only on SlenderNation, to try and gain a following, learn about SlenderMan and possibly get a really well written script/story out of it.

I did not intent to offend anyone, and I am overly sorry that this happened. I have no affiliation with the owner of this account. There are three people who have the password to the ORIGINAL account on SlenderNation, and they put the disclaimer up after they found this post. But I didn't want this to go on and spread fictitious rumours and hate.

I again am so sorry. Please take none of this to heart, and just remove the thread. I am sorry.
