Chiwetel Ejiofor and Cristin Milioti are in talks to star in The Backrooms, A24‘s sci-fi horror flick based on the viral series of found-footage videos from Kane Parsons, Deadline reports.

 The plot remains a mystery, the ’90s-set original short watches as a young filmmaker’s fall into another dimension leaves him wandering through an unsettlingly yellow, empty and labyrinthine office space, which may or may not be home to otherworldly beings. The film’s title and setting draw inspiration from the imagery of a creepypasta (or internet urban legend) published to the website 4chan in 2019.

The Backrooms have been a major internet sensation for a bit now. Kane Parsons was able to launch into the role of directing the first feature for the concept after his YouTube shorts went viral. The shorts Parsons directed on YouTube definitely gave an eerie and uncanny vibe. It’s not confirmed if the upcoming feature film will be found footage or not. According to Deadline nothing has been confirmed by the studio so we just have to wait and see.
