> The writer and director of Backrooms, premiering May 29 in theaters, credited producer Osgood Perkins for being “a really great mentor figure” while working with his Phobos banner on the film, which is adapted from Parsons’ 2022 web series.> “When we started production up in Vancouver, I was working very closely, literally in the same office with Osgood Perkins,” he told DiscussingFilm. “So, he’s been a really great mentor figure in a number of ways, in that it’s very much the crew that he and Chris Ferguson put together over a number of years. And so, I think there’s a lot of secondhand resources I’ve been able to lean on while working on this thing.”> After an X user posted that “we all know Kane Parsons absolutely didn’t direct this movie,” Duplass responded to dismiss the accusation about his Backrooms director.> “Hmmm, with all due respect I don’t remember seeing you on set,” the actor wrote in his post Tuesday. “When I was there, Kane was 100% in control. More so than many directors 3x his age.> He had a lot of the same crew as Perkins and they worked from the same location.Lol Zoomers can't make shit,Kane Parsons let a bunch of veteran directors take over his film and everyone is noticing.
Osgood Perkins is a hack fraud who only makes shit, Kane mogs that satanic nepobaby faggot
Sorry boomers, it’s zoomer time, your 15 minutes of fame is over
>yo yo man what do you mean? i was the only one who directed the movie
>>220837404>The Blackrooms
>Osgood Perkins>veteranLmaoThe cope is unreal
So tv is gonna pretend this happened for the next 10 years?
4chan directed this movie
Doesn't matter. He is credited as director. Kid has his career cut out for him going forward, with or without shadow directors.
>>220837404Millennials are too internet addicted to accomplish anything, I say this as a millennial…our generation needs to snap out of it. We are decent with concepts but not so much on execution. I shouldn’t be wasting my time posting here. Anyway, good for this zoomer kid for applying himself and doing actual work. I wish him continued success.
>>220837664they only put him in the director's chair to get street cred from fans of the web shorts and sell them a nice fairytale story.
>>220837404Mark Duplass is a talentless hack and a terrible actor
>>220837404It'd at least explain why Kane abandoned his the concepts from his YouTube series for the generic plot the movie ended up with.
>>220837404Retarded narrative for coping millennial losers.>Lol Zoomers can't make shitAnd there's the proof.
>>220837937ironic considering the backrooms was a millennial thing
>>220837404Dude got the ultimate hollywood push and I'd like to know why a random 20 year old got this big of an opportunityHe even got 12 years a slave man and the norwegian chick who are two high caliber actors, really this doesn't seem suspicious or weird to anyone?
>>220838043Of course it's weird and unnatural, but the reason is not yet known. I think I remember hearing he's from a moderately wealthy family, so best guess is one of them had a connection in the industry.
>>220837664so does daniel day lewis' faggot son but nobody is ever gonna hire him again because anemone was a piece of shit and flopped hard.>>220838043kane is clearly related to someone or someone at A24 has a kid who watched the short film, the suit saw that it has 75 million views and thought "damn there's money to be made"all those prolific names have kids who waste time on youtube and are aware of backrooms, which is why they jumped on board
Why is this board so obsessed with zoomers? It's honestly embarrassing
>>220838167Because zoomers are obsessed with being zoomers and go on about uncs (which is any gen that isn't zoomer). It's a chicken and egg thing, which came first doesn't matter anymore.
>>220838226Nobody actually talks like that except millenitards parodying zoomers btw. This is the same shit as "fr fr no cap" which got memoryholed already cause it was an astroturfed meme.At most you'll get Gen Alpha saying some shit like that, but they're literal children.
I bet that fag tried to groom Kane into coming to his fag orgies
>>220838308hardly grooming, more like outright prostituting.>hey kane, this is a cool idea, let me lend you my resources>btw i'm having this party, drop by>what do you mean no? after all i've done for you, it's the least that you can do for me
>>220838250I have to deal with your shitsmeared brocc-haired generation all the time and they absolutely do talk and sound and behave exactly like the memes. The younger ones have even started dismissing the slightly older ones using "unc" now, with a literal five year age gap and they talk about each other like they're aliens. You're the first 100% brainrotted from birth by the internet generation and it shows.
>>220838250fr fr is a really common phrase, it's not some fake thing.
>>220838043marketing. once they're done squeezing this slop, they'll drop him.
Kane is the moment
>>220837997Backrooms was just the past several years. That's firmly in zoomer territory.
>>220838043>Kane Parsons, born Kanebraham Parsilowicz, is an American director and visual artist. >Early Life: Parsons grew up in California, first born son of banker Gordon Parsilowicz and ursuror Elia Parsilowicz (nee Moneystein)>He made is directorial debut with The Backrooms (originally titled Backroomsenberg)I wonder why he got his big break so young
Kane's youtube videos are as good or better than the movie so I doubt it and it doesn't matter either way
it’s so hard to reconcile mark duplass as a fun asshole character from watching the league in high school and the smarmy asshole fucking faggot he actually is as a real person
>>220839431The videos are better because they're not bogged down by the incredibly derivative script
>film school rejects have to come up with ghost director bullshit to cope with the fact that some kid made it while they're stuck as youtube "critics"it would be funny if it wasn't so pathetic
>>220838043I'm so tired of industry plant games and movies
>>220837404Too late, Twitter and Reddit are already acting like only genz is now allowed to make movies and as if this movie was made by genz only. Ignoring the part where boomers/millenials funded it, make up for most of the crew, the actors the co directors , writers etc.
>>220837607He's been directing movies for decades.
>>220838078His only familial connection to any kind of entertainment industry is that his dad (apparently, because nobody knows who he is or what, exactly, he worked on) did "VFX for video games," and that's about it. It's so tenuous that to say he got a "boost" from that, is like saying the YouTuber Degenerocity's kid is going to be a nepobaby because he was a background extra in 12 Years a Slave.
>>220837404Mark Duplass’s daughter Ora has a nice ass
>>220837404>seething old millennioid can't stand straight White Male Gen Zuccesssad!
>>220839933https://youtu.be/r5gysKzd1W0?si=6zpzQ5_qEE1Lh71o
>>220837404Osgood Perkins is one of the most insufferable assholes in the industry right now. Middling at best movies, and clearly thinks he’s doing shit way better than he actually is.
>>220837404Zoomers are getting phds and starting families RIGHT NOW.This is a bizarre peter pan syndrome cope pretending that time froze in 2016.
>>220839132>Moneystein
>>220838116>anemone sucked and floppedand Backrooms didn't. Big brain thinking here
why is Duplass not a big thing, hes absolute kino
>>220837607Are you retarded?
>>220839933It doesn't matter really because it's a bad obvious film. Paul Thomas Anderson made Boogie Nights when he was 26 and that is what a film prodigy looks like. A shitty horror film based on a meme is not.
Damn, this movie really has the basedllennials uncs malding
>>220837404>teenager gets help making a multi million dollar movie for their first feature film project ever. noooo, say it aint so. how dare they
>>220842490>teenagerHe is 20 and already has a big youtube channel. This guy already made more money from making 4chan creepypasta videos than most people here make in their lives.
>>220842514>He is 20 yeah, right now. principle photography began a year and a half ago which would have made him, drumroll please........a teenager
>>220842514>youtube money translates to major motion picture film crew experiencelol. lmao
>>220837672you're fucking stupid.
>>22084254218 1/2 is not a teenager
>>220837404I swear i haven't seen a single person talk about the actual movie. It's all just about the boxoffice money and that's it made by a genz youtuber
>>220837404>The real directors of the Backrooms>When I was there, Kane was 100% in controlgreat thread!
>>220838043>why a random 20 year old>random>>220838078>Of course it's weird and unnatural, but the reason is not yet knownthere's nothing weird or unnatural about it. He proved himself with shorts on youtube and also the concept is very popular. Spending 10m on a movie like that (and some other millions for marketing) carries zero risks for A24. You're all willingly retarded about this whole thing
>>220843880>Spending 10m on a movie like that (and some other millions for marketing) carries zero risks for A24.Well one risk is having an inexperienced and potentially immature director fuck up the shoot. It's not even a matter of talent or maturity, dealing with a 20-50 people professional on a schedule crew is kind of a step up from shooting a VFX short with high school friends.
>>220843880Literally no one has ever gotten an opportunity like this, no matter how good their short was or their previous movie was or how popular a concept wasThis is a first and it's odd that it happened to a teenage zoomer who's only experience was using BlenderOf course, this doesn't seem weird to you because you're a shill and you want to protect your little butt boi, but it is quite odd, so there's definitely something else going on behind the scenes that most people are not fully aware of but it will come out eventually
>>220843993You sound bitter, ngl bro
>>220844018I thought zoomers were supposed to be smart and question everything yet they're falling for the psyop that a 20 year old zoomer just happened to get the biggest opportunity that no one in hollywood besides the ultimate nepo hires have ever gotten
>>220844061>the biggest opportunity that no one in hollywood besides the ultimate nepo hires have ever gottenwtf are you talking about? they gave him a $10 million budget which is nothing these days and they literally played it safe by hiring “the backrooms guy”. he’s a huge youtuber. they took less of a risk on him than almost anyone else they’ve ever hired to direct.
>>220843974>>220843993buy a camera and start shooting shit. You will never know if you are really good by writing bitter posts on 4channel. 80m + domestic opening btw
Unirionically, why are zoomers bragging about a movie based on an internet meme?It's like thinking you've made it because you directed the Battleship movie.The backrooms got less interesting as a concept when people started adding monsters and "lore" to it, btw.
>ACKrooms
>>220844108It's part of their current twitter culture war where they want to kill everyone over 29
fede alvarez uploaded short on youtube and was scouted not long after that. David Sandberg was also making short movies on youtube and then he got an offer to direct a feature. Those guys who directed talk to me also came from youtube. There's nothing weird about it
>>220844108The weird part is how they talk about the movie in the "we", "us", "our" form as if they made the actual movie. Even with 100 million dollar budget most of them would still just be doomscrolling all day
>>220843993>Literally no one has ever gotten an opportunity like this, no matter how good their short wasactually, that's not the truth, Ellen >>220844178
>>220837404You know it’s real when Duplass had to interject and try and disprove it.
>>220844186Yeah, it's weird. Millennials are more likely to throw their own under the bus, unless they actually do something of merit. "Millennial film maker" Max Landis was more or less immediately pinned by Millennials as being an annoying fake faggot (even if a couple of his movies are alright, actually). Meanwhile Robert Eggers is celebrated for making great films, but no one cares how old he is. If either of those guys was a zoomer, you'd be seeing constant gloating threads, simply because a *zoomer* made a movie. get this, guys. A Zoomer did something...Not beating the generation of narcissists allegations, I'm just saying.
>>220837849>his conceptssorry I don't really follow backrooms and havent seen any of his youtube videos, but isn't just a series of rooms with SCP entities in them sometimes? then there's like a few cryptids that wander. did he actually write anything? I thought it was just a big amalgamation of internet memes that he wholesale lifted from imageboards
>>220844088>>220844213Fede Alvarez nor David Sandberg got 11 producers among them being three hollywood big wig filmmakers, they didn't get 2 oscar winning and nominated actors as their lead, nor did they get the marketing push that this movie is gettingSo yeah, it's a first and that's why is suspicious and dishonest and I'm not going to sit here and pretend the zoomie totally did it all on his own and this isn't some kind of industry plant or hollywood manufactured experiment
>>220844434buy a camera and stop coping
>>220844788Nah, you should do it and prove how wrong I am :)
>>220837607Dude's been in movies since he was a teenager, dumbass
>>220844844don't post on your first day
>>220838043Neither of them are "high caliber." They're mostly art house actors and not even close to big names, not discounting their performances and talent. If he had even a B-lister on the cast list than I'd agree but most zoomers seeing this movie only probably know the dudeweedlmao guy in the film cause he played a Targaryen guy in the latest GOT spinoff show.
>>220837672agreed. ten years ago i was actively writing and working in video production and now i work a dead end job and shit post here. our generation is shit.
>>220840117Are those shoulders achievable natty for foids?
>>220837404Doesn't make sense because backrooms is better than anything oslop perkins ever made
>>220837404yeah i believe this about backrooms. that thing cost tens of millions to make. no way A24 is letting a youtuber direct that shit. obsession only cost 700K to make and was sold by the youtuber so I believe that.
>>220844963The fact that they're Oscar tier actors means they're high caliber among hollywood by default, meaning they're not exactly "easy" to get
>>220845031youtube who only made blender animations, mind you, at least Curry Barker made skits and shorts and they all already looked professional, so he actually does have experience, this guy had none
I can't blame you for not understanding what a producer does because most people don't. The industry keeps it such a secret and their active role varies wildly depening on the producer and what the director wants. But>asking for help means it's not his movieHoly shit you are a turbovirgin with 0 social understanding
>>220845059curry barker also got a bunch of awards and is 26 instead of 20. way more believable than 18 y/o starting a movie with A24.
>>220837404Of course he had help and input from producers, that is literally their job, are you retarded?>After an X user postedkys
>>220837672How am I supposed to "execute" anything, when older people unanimously decided they aren't going to give me any money?
>>220837613Seems like it. This started because of people being butthurt on twitter so it makes sense it would spread here.
> Duplass is on tiktok lying about Kane directing the film. They are not beating the allegations. I wish they would just admit that this was a Hollywood experiment and that they noticed that Zoomers don't have any huge figures and wanted to groom Kane into that figure.
>>220845182Obviously, what kind of movie has 11 main producers among them being Shawn Levy who's a notorious director-for-hire in Hollywood
>>220837849The backrooms being a physical manifestation of memory degradation is far more inspired than "unsettling area with monster in it" like the web series
>>220845248His youtube vids had the backrooms become a place that the government+companies try to exploit to make money.One idea is infinite storage facility.
>>220846017Can you actually find things again though if it's infinite. Or is it just for offloading nuclear waste or evidence. Basicly the plot of Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth
>>220845248Have you even watched it? The whole thing about the backrooms is that it's a distorted version of reality, the size and dimension of the panels, furniture, rooms are wrong. It's a warped reality
>>220846072>Can you actually find things again though if it's infinitethe universe is infinite and I can still find your sister's massive dildo right on her night stand where it usually is
>>220846297That's nice. So you always start out in the same spot when entering the backrooms? Otherwise this whol concept wouldn't work. Imagine anytime you go through a door you end up in a random part of the universe
The movie was terrible.I am glad Kane didn't direct it.Kane alone would have done a better job.Holy shit it was awful.
>>220846072>Can you actually find things again though if it's infinitethe researchers constantly get lost or vanish even though they’re marking where they go.plus his backrooms is constantly changing.so the idea is doomed to failure but companies still pursue it because of $$$
>>220837607His moms was murdered in 9/11 by Israel
>>220837849why chinese discover backrooms and still pollute our oceans?
>>220837593Based
>>220837630If that was the case then it would have naked women on it, thus making it at least watchable
>>220840117backcooms
>>220843993Blair Witch Project and El Mariachi faggot
I can't believe millennial losers on /tv/ are this down bad that they are going with a baseless rumor a literal xitter used made up just because they haven't made anything with their lives lol
>>220846772Yea1. No low quality bacteria from youtube shorts2. No jump scares 3. They didn't repeat plot a couple times so when you play Brawl Stars you can lose plot4. Shit concept that when you enter to project31 it will copy every room in your life and you. I just want evil spangbob or evil baby joda.
>>220837783Creep tapes is good you pleb
>>220838116>Check A24's Wikipedia page >They have a LGBTQ+ section in "Style and Themes" That explains a lot
>>220846072>Can you actually find things again though if it's infiniteIt's infinite but after the movie it's clear that human consciousness and memory affects the fucking place.>>220846930Is partially right except the issue is the space is fucked in regards to time. The actual backrooms itself is static once a room is built. You can find your way back to any entrance if you're aware of it like the Null Zone under Clark's Ottoman Empire or the Threshold that Async made. The issue is you can suddenly be shunted forward in time and in the case of Tench, webseries character that got separated during an exploratory task, found that the Backrooms changed since the few months he skipped were filled with Async building new walls and rooms around the Threshold. To him it feels like shit changed.
>>220840008he’s 20
>>220842490yeah “gets help” from 10 producers
>>220843431EIGHTEEN ISNT BEING A TEEN
>>220845245Shawn Levy said >"The YouTube videos reminded me of the Night at the Museum movies I directed, only this was the 'indie' version so immediately I couldn't wait to speak to Kane Parsons and as it turned out Kane was a big fan of those two movies I did."
>>220845036Not really. Jennifer Tilly and Nicolas Cage are Oscar-nominated, and they're in plenty of slop. What did Chiwetel Ejiofor do after 12 Years a Slave? He played a wizard in a Marvel movie and did a couple of voice roles. Renate Reinsve is Oscar-nominated, but she's Norwegian and trying to break into Hollywood, so she isn't going to get a big role with an acclaimed director right out of the gate.An Oscar nomination increases an actor's prestige, but prestige and market value aren't always the same thing. Studios may respect you more after an Oscar nomination, but they'll only pay significantly more if they believe your name helps sell tickets. .
>>220839501>>220839431He didn't have to write characters in his youtube videos. They are basically faceless pov characters.
>>220842192I agree. I'm laughing at plebs in this thread shitting on him. He is a kino machine.
>>220837849>>220844259The movie doesn't conflict with the Youtube series. In the series A-Sync creates the initial connection to the Backrooms (or accidentally creates them, it's unclear) but their inner workings are almost entirely unexplained so far.
>>220844906He got you youre done
>>220837672Zoomers are 100000000x more internet addicted than millennials and worse so, they're addicted to social media on their phones vs old internet on a PC
>>220838226I think it should be legal to kill zoomers
>>220837404The fact that the movie isn't anything like his youtube videos made this painfully obvious. They wokified it and used Kane's name to legitimize it.
>>220840064> BLACKS AND ZOOMERS, IM GOING INSANE!>THIS IS AS BAD AS NOLAN'S THE ODYESSY CASTING!>TAKE ME SERIOUSLY AHHHHpeople really are trying so hard to vilify the entire thing, its sorta funny.
>>220849381bit extreme, far better to have sex with their holes instead
>>220837404You know everyone knows youre just a jealous loser right
>>220837404Obviously. Saying it was directed by a youtuber is just marketing.
>>220849418>What if Freud? t. A24 notes fag
>>220837404Life really is on easymode if you're a nepo. Even being the nepo of some lower level Hollywood guy means you're still going to have it easier than 99% of people. So easy you don't have to actually do anything. Just steal work from other people and put your name on it.
>>22083767220yo are zoomers now as well???Fucking imbecile dumb fuck
>>220839132what's a ursuror?
>>220851564Are you aware how generations work you fucking phone addicted retard?
>>220851564The oldest zoomers are 29.
