But again, in the current canon, no tentacles.


Joseph I think it was stated in an interview that TO doesn't have tentacles due to a creative choice. Hopefully TO doesn't get messed up beyond canon because of what the studio wants. I'm not sure if Trosephim have considered this.


At the very least I feel they probably considered all the angles until they were satisfied with the risk/reward. They aren't just dipshits with a great idea ripe for the corporate plucking, they went to school to be in film so I'm sure they know what they're doing to some degree.

Either way the movie's already been shot and done (I'm assuming now it's in the editing phase) and Trosephim have already gone out to LA and been on set, etc etc. I'm sure that they had some say in what went on with some of the characters, The Operator and his tentacles (or lack thereof) being one of them. I really couldn't see Trosephim being dipshits and screwing up like a lot of other media that gets transferred to movies

The movie's already filmed, so we're kinda past the point of worrying about considering such things. I'm sure they thought of that, but if they still seem so excited about it when it's probably in post-production by now, they probably feel they have good reason to not be too worried.

Regarding who the characters will be, I suspect Trosephim will make at least a cameo. Maybe in the stinger (ushers everywhere must hate Iron Man for starting the trend) we'll see some unknown party coughTothearkcough filming Jay from afar while he talks to an acquaintance. The conversation causes Jay to remember that student film he did once. Distortion galore. Text reads: "Don't feel bad. You never had any choice from the beginning".

Also, Masky and Hoody can be played by different actors no problem, without needing to drag Tim and Brian* up for filming. I'm kind of expecting one or both of them to be somewhat significant.

*Am I going to get chewed out for saying I think Brian is Hoody?

Shouldn't get chewed out, Brian is probably the most popular candidate.

Masky *can* be played by a different actor but it would require him to wear a hood or something or be able to convincingly replicate Tim's sideburns and hairstyle.

And I really don't think it's going to tie in as directly as so many people here seem to believe- you could make a movie about 2006 or Tim's childhood, but those would be rather incomplete, storywise, because it's unlikely they'd be able to give a satisfactory resolution for the stand-alone movie when the true resolution is in the series. I think there's going to be some connections, but it'll probably be made so the movie can be watched without seeing the series, because the fans of the series alone probably won't be enough sales for a full-blown theatrical film.

So it's going to probably be about brand new characters. TO will obviously feature and TTA *might* be able to prominently feature depending on what his story is revealed to be in the series, but Jay, Alex, and Tim would be cameos at best. And I doubt Masky could be significant to the movie- his story seems a little too tied to the main series' story arc.

My guess is, it's about some other victims of TO from the past, from before Alex and Tim, or, if TO isn't beaten for good at the end of the series (and I doubt he will be), it'll be about his next set of victims.

Crackpot theory: Seth is going to be one of the main characters.

Even more crackpot theory: Skully will appear as one of the main antagonists of the film.


Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Even *more* crackpot theory: The movie is all about Sarah -Joker is murdered by Serum-

One question: is the movie going to actually be called Marble Hornets? If so, then I suspect that at least some reference will be made to the student film, or to the videos Jay has been uploading, so that the audience will get the title. I'm also thinking different characters, but a Totheark appearance (as Joker said, Masky would be somewhat difficult, but Hoody could be done, as some on the forum mentioned that the actual actor has been filled in for at times) would help tie the movie into the universe of Marble Hornets. Possibly this could be in between the events of the student film and the series proper? It could explain what the Operator was up to during this time. Also, it could (indirectly since you can't use the original actors all that much) give some insight into what Totheark was up to.

Also, I've been in the MH fandom for six months now, I just joined UnFiction. I was wondering: why does Serum hate Sarah so much?

We don't yet know for certain what the title will be, and I think it probably shouldn't be MH just because the title has little enough to do with the main series as it is. The period between 2006 and 2009 could certainly be interesting, though.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Word of advice before Serum himself shows up- as best as I can tell, you should pretty much never take anything he says too seriously. Because he's rarely being serious. At least, I don't think he's being serious. His supposed hatred for Sarah is exaggerated, though I think he does legitimately hate people who insist that Sarah is somehow significant.

That is certainly true.

That is certainly not true.

I am being serious, why do you think I've been on a kick about it for over a year?

No, it isn't, see the red text.

Yes, I do. That's the fuel behind my holy rage.

It's doubtful he'd get one. That's actually the worst thing I've heard him say. He may be an asshole but is within the rules most of the time.
