在2026年,年仅20岁的电影制片人 Kane Parsons 凭借其剧情长片处女作《Backrooms》取得了非凡的成功,使他成为 A24 有史以来最年轻的导演。这部电影处女作是他同名 YouTube 热门网路影集的延伸创作。Kane Parsons 最初在2022年他只有16岁时创造了这个网路热潮,上传了一部名为《The Backrooms (Found Footage)》的9分钟短片。这部初始影片迅速在网络上疯传,并在发布后的一个月内吸引了多家制片厂的主动接洽。
该概念源于2019年 4chan 讨论区 /x/ 版的一篇贴文,该文描述了一个由大约15.54亿平方公里(6亿平方英里)随机分割的空房所组成的超自然维度。Kane Parsons 利用 Blender 3D 和 Adobe After Effects 将这个超现实的数位神话具现化。这部改编的剧情长片由 Will Soodik 编剧,并由恐怖片大师 Osgood Perkins 和 James Wan 监制,由 Chiwetel Ejiofor 饰演 Clark,Renate Reinsve 饰演 Mary。它将这个网路现象转移到1990年代的背景中,以使角色与现代科技隔绝。
《Backrooms》目前的票房预测显示其首映周末将取得巨大的成功,预计将打破 A24 现有的票房纪录。这一商业成功反映了电影产业的一种新趋势,即好莱坞片厂正积极在网路平台上发掘新锐的恐怖片导演。这部电影在评价与票房上的成功,强调了网路社群协同创作的神话在塑造当代电影方面的力量,并标志著原创知识产权被发现和开发的方式可能发生转变。
At just 20 years old in 2026, filmmaker Kane Parsons has achieved remarkable success with his feature film debut, Backrooms, making him the youngest director to date for A24. The movie is an expansion of his atmospheric YouTube web series of the same name. Parsons originally created the viral sensation in 2022 when he was only 16 years old, uploading a 9-minute short video titled "The Backrooms (Found Footage)". This initial video quickly garnered massive viral attention, leading to movie offers from multiple studios within a month of its release.
The concept originated from a 2019 post on 4chan's /x/ forum, which described a paranormal dimension consisting of approximately 1.55 billion square kilometers (600 million square miles) of randomly segmented empty rooms. Parsons utilized Blender 3D and Adobe After Effects to bring this surreal digital myth to life. The resulting feature film adaptation, written by Will Soodik and produced by horror veterans Osgood Perkins and James Wan, stars Chiwetel Ejiofor as Clark and Renate Reinsve as Mary. It transposes the online phenomenon into a 1990s setting to isolate characters from modern technology.
Backrooms is currently tracking for a historic opening weekend that is projected to surpass A24's existing box office records. This commercial success reflects a growing industry trend where Hollywood studios actively recruit breakout horror directors from online platforms. The film's critical and financial reception underscores the power of internet-driven collaborative mythologies in shaping contemporary cinema, marking a potential shift in how original intellectual properties are discovered and developed.
