A24 are working on a Backrooms movie from 19-year-old Kane Parsons
19-year-old Kane Parsons is the filmmaker behind the excellent Backrooms web series on YouTube. The series debuted in 2022 and has amassed over 190 million views to date.
We featured a few of them a while back.
Set primarily in the 1990s, the series revolves around Async, a fictional research institute that discovers the Backrooms (in-universe referred to as “the Complex”) and attempts to study and document it. Following this discovery, missing persons cases begin to skyrocket. Most installments are centered around various anomalies Async comes across in the Complex.
A24 are now working with Parsons on a full length feature starring Chiwetel Ejiofor and Renate Reinsve.
Produced by Atomic Monster, 21 Laps, and Chernin Entertainment, production begins this summer.
