    Backrooms Sequel Officially Addressed by Director, And the Best Case Scenario May Not Be Possible (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Backrooms stands out for a number of reasons. The first is 21-year-old director Kane Parsons, whose web series of the same name — started when he was 16 — enthralled millions of viewers and prompted A24 to approach him about turning it into a film. Drawing from the “Backrooms” creepypasta thread, Parsons created a vast world of eerily vacant extradimensional spaces housing secrets beyond our comprehension. He even got acclaimed performers Chiwetel Ejiofor and Renate Reinsve to star in the adapta

    Spider-Man: Brand New Day has exceeded every projection and expectation imaginable. The Tom Holland-led blockbuster is breaking box office records as often as we eat breakfast, surpassing even the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s most surefire successes. Remarkably, the film also marks the first time that Marvel characters owned by Sony, Disney, Fox, Universal, and platforms such as Marvel Television appeared together in one movie.
