A24 is making a movie based on The Backrooms, the 2019 creepypasta that now forms the basis for every other game on Steam

If it wasn't already clear, we've formally arrived in the age of the meme movie. The Minecraft Movie was basically a sequence of memes strung together, and Michael Bay is making a Skibidi Toilet film. Now, omnipresent creepypasta The Backrooms is also getting an adaptation for the silver screen.

The film, which is based specifically on the viral YouTube series created by Kane Parsons (as opposed to the more general Backrooms concept, which originated on 4chan) has been in the works at least since 2023.
