https://www.thewrap.com/dear-david-it-producer-buzzfeed-to-develop-horror-film-based-on-viral-ghost-story-exclusive/amp/ “Dear David,” the online ghost story from BuzzFeed writer Adam Ellis, is on its way to the big screen, TheWrap has learned exclusively. BuzzFeed Studios is partnering on the film with “It” producer Dan Lin’s Rideback.The film, currently named The Untitled “Dear David” Project, will be a high-concept horror thriller based on Ellis’ tweets and images. He says his entire story is true.  It began with this message from Ellis on Aug. 7, 2017: “My apartment is currently being haunted by the ghost of a dead child and he’s trying to kill me.” In subsequent tweets, Ellis presented what he said was digital evidence of a boy with part of his head missing — a boy he addresses with the words “Dear David. He said the boy has worried him and his cats, and followed him as far as Japan. Ellis amassed more than 1 million Twitter followers eager to see where the story would go. In February, TheWrap’s “Shoot This Now” podcast focused on why “Dear David” should be a movie. This week we talked about it actually happening. “Dear David” is the newest project on BuzzFeed’s production and development slate.BuzzFeed is in development with Warner Bros. on “Brother Orange,” with Jim Parsons set to star and Ellen DeGeneres and Ilana Glazer to executive produce. “Brother Orange” follows another viral BuzzFeed story in which a man attempts to find his phone when pictures of a man with an Orange tree appear on his iCloud. Buzzfeed getting into the film business was as inevitably a disaster as chernobryl.
Seems like an all-time low for creativity in cinema.
Is that slenderman movie still a thing?
Adam Ellis retired a few months ago, no?
There was a slenderman movie made a while ago. It was shit.
Ca'nt wait for sonic.exe the movie
I'm personally hoping for godzilla creepypasta. That shit was freaky on a late night alone in my room. (please don't take me seriously, hollywood)
oh its that jimmy neutron spooky spaghetti
Can't wait for the Super Mario 64 piano movie.
If they redo the entire last third of the story it could be decent.
What are you talking about, The Slenderman movie comes out in August?
The spritework and presentation was seriously baller with that one.

said it before and i'll say it again, that fuckin puppet looks like a rugrats doll with male pattern baldness
There was another one that’s currently up in the air since Sony wisely tried to dump it and the producers behind it think it deserves a huge release
https://youtu.be/7tPRAhZHAmA When will this become a movie?
look. ya'll gotta shut the fuck up with "when will (creepypasta) be a movie." YOU'RE GIVING THEM IDEAS!
I've never heard of this before now so I decided to read it. So far, this is extremely cool and interesting. What a unique and novel way to tell a story.
"Blair Witch: Dapper Specter Edition"?

I mean it seems dumb but considering the producer worked on the Lego Movie and the IT reboot, two movies that were met with overwhelming 'why is this being made?' sentiment I'm sure Lin will at least be able to steer this production away from the obvious, bad path we're all imagining. Right now horror movies are in a really bad, boring spot so I'll be optimistic in this if only because I want more horror movies to not suck, even if they're tied to buzzfeed somehow
creepypasta cinematic universe
But Dear David is only interesting because of its format. The fact that it is told through Ellis’s “Real tweets” is what makes it feel believable.
There is now a level zero.
