The fact that Markiplier had the opportunity to make a movie, and he decided to make one not based on his own series ([Blank] With Markiplier, Damien, etc.), but to instead make one for this small indie horror game he really liked. I really, really admire that.
It's incredibly admirable both towards the creator and to the indie horror game industry. It shows that he cares, interested in expanding the lore and ultimately expanding the medium of content created films.
and, he was only nominated for it after he called them out, like, why do they have an interactive media award of there is no interactive media other than for kids? aaaaand, when he went to the Emmys, all these posh movie journalists were treating him like they didn't know who he was, like he was below them, like he should be grateful to be in their presence and should bow down to them. nobody even took pictures of him & Amy, they were all acting like a buncha stuck-up assholes
@@weirdmarketingtales Sure, maybe you should've, but your excitement was still incredibly infectious. And if there's a longer trailer, I'll look forward to your analysis. :)
Markiplier is just a gigachad rn. "I made a channel with my friend so we could just do stuff but then we deleted it. For Fun." "I'm making a movie based on this one little game I thought was neat."
“I’m going to make a brand of clothing that is very nice, and make the logo barely visible because you don’t need a logo to be good. Also the proceeds go to charity.”
Markiplier is the only TH-camr today that still makes things like chose your own adventure style videos. In Space with Markiplier even got an award or two. He is incredibly talented, and has never let fame or greed get to his head. He's created what he's wanted to, and keeps getting better and better. The fact that him and Jacksepticeye still do things like big holiday collabs and events is amazing.
Exactly this! The only other content creator off the top of my head that makes this kinda stuff is Robbotron's "Dark Room" it's an Interactive Adventure Game that phenomenally is so incredibly fun to watch and take part in.
He absolutely is! And the fact that In Space With Markiplier literally got nominated for an Emmy is so insane, and I’m here for that. It’s awesome to see him make stuff that’s part of his passion
@@weirdmarketingtales yeah I was just expecting it to be like his other movies, just another relatively impressive TH-cam release, but this shit is gonna be on the big screen, I seriously hope its successful.
I think it's worth pointing out that Markiplier has seen success in the past with other projects like Who Killed Markiplier, Heist with Markiplier, and In Space with Markiplier. Though not strictly "films," they do show that Mark has been learning skills necessary in the film industry and has built up a reputation concerning narrative based stories (some with horror elements). And his internship with Corridor Crew equipped Markiplier with better insight into visual effects. Also film adaptation tend to be better off, regardless of source material, if the original creator of the source material is involved.
Exactly, the accolades and the experiences that he's developed over his 10 year run on TH-cam both on his own and, with other creators will all come together on Iron Lung. Maybe I should of slapped an extra 5 minutes onto the video talking about these more in depth but, alas I think I got my point across.
@@EricLefebvrePhotography I mean, 3 months at a professional special effects studio? With more 1-on-1 teaching than a school would give you?

the original creator doesn't have to be involved for and adaptation to be good, you just have to respect the source material which unfortunately 90% or Hollywood people believe is beneath them. The Witcher series as an example was an alright adaptation because of the people that fought to keep things as close to the games/books as possible, which I believe was mostly just Henry Cavil and possibly some crew members.
Marks going places, and no Studio executive is gonna keep him down and he's gonna rise above those suit collars who put little effort into their work. And he's gonna show the world that online personalities can make some fantastic work if they are allowed to and are given more respect than what they usually do.
Mark is one of the only 'big' people on TH-cam that gives me hope for humanity. It's always good when he's able to give highlights to the little guys. The Iron Lung Dev definitely deserved this opportunity.
its not just this, a24 working with kane letting him be the main director with most control over a backrooms movie in his universe is a game changer too.
I saw someone mention Kane in another comment and I feel really bad about missing him out. I think there will be more source material in the future to make a squeal to the "TH-camrs Who Made Movies" or something like that.
I really hope Iron Lung succeeds, not just for Mark's sake but because it might make the studios wake up and get the hell out of their own way. You hear so many stories about promising properties and ideas that flop because they went in the corporate machine and got spat out as something wholly different. But if they realize that they can fund or just promote independent creators without having a billion dollar budget to recoup, we might get some original content on the big screens instead cut and paste copies of what did well.
The story behind the film Skinamarink is defo part of this wave. The director, Kyle Edward Ball, has been making horror shorts on TH-cam for ages, then he scraped together a budget of $15,000 to make a film that got picked up by Shudder and grossed $2.1 million. All while having unconventional practices up to the ears and being quite polarising to viewers. I see it as more of an experience than a traditional horror flick. The new wave of horror is upon us and I couldn't be more excited.
Iron lung is also a really good candidate for a movie, not only because it has a lot of room to expand the lore, but because the game itself is so linear.
Papa Mark at it again, breaking the walls down and paving that path. I'm so happy and excited for him and really just everyone involved. I have watched his channel for many years, in fact, I didn't even have internet when I first started watching his channel back in 2012. I had to save his videos for later, so I could watch them at a friend's house. His videos were sometimes the only thing that'd help me get to sleep. Still are, in fact. After 10 years. I can say for certain that Mark doesn't do things by half when he really is invested into something. If it's charity, if it's playing a video game, if it's making a project come to life, supporting his friends, whatever it is, once he's decided to do it...there is very little that will stand in his way. He is very likely THE most hardworking person I've ever known. He also doesn't like when people bully someone on youtube, known to come to their defense and cause a stir until things get done. I can't wait for the world to get but a taste of his masterpiece. It's gonna be amazing.
It's awesome to hear that you have such a strong connection to Markiplier as I do hear it a lot with him and some other TH-camrs I watch. I think it's phenomenal the impact that they can have on an individual that can last a decade like yours. And I agree that Markiplier like Dad and Jacksepticeye for example are some of the hardest working content creators and, it shows in their content they create on the daily and in their big projects. It's going to be a very unique experience watching a theatre released film from him and I think he'll knock it out the park.
I don’t often trust studios who decide to make video game movies, but I sure as hell trust Mark to do it justice. He’s so talented and conscientious that I know he’s putting all of the love he has for the game into the film, and that’s awesome.
its going to crazy if this movies. goes viral. and climbs the rank of most sold movies. and no im not saying its gonna be 1# im just saying it would be cool to be atleast in the top 10
I’m pretty sure people are gonna shit on it regardless tho bc it’s made about a video-game (?) by a youtuber so they think he’s not as good as a “professional” despite his experience in the field.
Don’t want to be a buzzkill but there is no chance this gets anywhere near the top 10 highest grossing films of all time, lol. I’m sure it’ll be a fun time tho, which is what I assume Mark’s main goal is
The fact that this video has taken off also proves what a big impact Mark has. His fans love him and everyone else is keeping their eye on him as well to see if he succeeds.
markiplier literally has his own extended universe he could very easily make a movie over and instead did one for an indie game, really shows how selfless the man is
It's incredibly difficult to remove your ego from your work and, I don't think anyone can truly remove it. But when you make something that you love and can see massive potential in it, not just because you want too but other people do too. That's when selflessness shows and passion radiates.
It's also smart. Outsiders would sleep on what sounds like "The Markiplier Show #3", like some sort of wannabe pushing their vanity project. With this project he's going small, doing it right, and adapting a strong, proven story in a way that outsiders will take seriously. A wannabe tries to make every project their be-all-end-all; the biggest, the best, the magnum opus. Choosing the project that's _the right thing for right now_ takes wisdom.
I maintain that mark was presented with the opportunity to make any movie with a specific budget and he decided on iron lung just to have the opportunity to pull more lore out of the game dev
A big thing Mark is advertising the fact that he’s breaking the record for the most blood in a horror movie (Obviously because of the blood oceans). I think it’s awesome that he can make a movie that he himself had funded.
And the dev being on set the ENTIRE filming of it was great. I’m not for sure so I’m just gonna hope that he also was a part of the direction of the movie and got to choose what happens in alot of this.
I thought he seemed a little out of it at times in his playthrough of Iron Lung, but when the movie was announced I rewatched it and realized he was actually just really invested and into it. Great stuff, amazing.
You can. It;s just hard to be financially successful. There are indie films and small indie distributors, tyou can self distribute ... it's just you are afr more restricted.
Mark is a real one turning this fantastic indie game into a fully fledged movie. The concept and execution was brilliant from start to finish. I would also give credit to Power Pak’s video on Iron lung as when that went viral it sparked the large number of requests from viewers asking big TH-camrs to play the game. Markiplier included.
I know Mark interned at Corridor. If the movie is successful I hope they could work together in the future. Maybe it will open the door for others like them. There are so many that if given the opportunity could do so much better than whats out today.
i cannot process in my head that markiplier and the man in the first clip of this video are the same human being he is the main character of the internet
One thing I think that'll also be revolutionary with Mark's movie is that a lot of movies youtubers make that they want to be Big Things end up being TH-camr Movies: playing into what they're known for on youtube as usually a dramatization of themselves (Shane Dawson's Not Cool, Logan Paul's remake of Airplane, even that Liza Koshy show). Mark has both already done this (literally calling his youtube projects "with markiplier) AND is making a professional movie that has no ties to his name BUT still plays within his strengths as a primarily horror game youtuber. It will be a fantastic movie, I'm sure of it
I really hope Mark's Iron Lung movie is successful like all of his other creations. Really looking forward to it!!!! edit: wait, justin started on youtube?
related to other channels struggling to put out good films that they want to make, I think Mark's advantage is he doesn't *have* to work with anyone. Like obviously he has a sound designer, the dev was involved every step of the way, and he had camera people etc. but those people are there bc he knows them and trusts them to help him creative something HE loves. I feel Iron Lung is a passion project more than anything, and he's the director, main star and post production. He doesn't have to pair with companies to publish the movie, he can do it himself because he has that reach. I'm so excited for this movie, and I'm even more excited to see where he goes from here.
I just realized that I watched a video with 33k views, from a youtuber with only 607 subscribers. The video was so well made that I didn't even notice it was from a small youtuber. Keep up the good work, you'll make it far.
I really do hope Iron Lung changes the culture around movies! I feel with Hollywood people have lost a lot of respect (bad adaptions, cash grabs, using big actors despite the film itself, etc.). It's become more of an industry than a heartfelt piece of art and that saddens me. I want movies with history! I want movies that can connect to other works and it doesn't feel like an afterthought or a misconstrued version of it. I wasn't ever really, really into FNAF but I hope that directors treat it with the respect and attention it deserves. I want it to be a heartfelt medium where directors can connect with the original creators and make something bigger than both of them!
If I remember correctly, Even mark was facing a bit of pushback from TH-cam when he was making Space, but refused to yield. Such as going over the projected budget of Space.
It's depressing that when someone makes a film that breaks new ground in the film industry it feels like they got away with something. They fooled the executives, or they got special treatment. They were *allowed* to try an unconventional narrative. Like it's a herculean feat to try something different and be successful. I'm glad someone like Markiplier is going into film making and is doing so well with it, he doesn't have to answer to anyone from Hollywood.
Unpopular opinion. Resident Evil, Welcome to Racoon City was an AMAZING Resident Evil movie adaptation. People are just mad at Leon's cast and role in the movie but regardless, it played out Resident Evil 1 and 2 pretty well at the same time WHILE making it extremely suspensful.
on adapting horror games to movies; Iron Lung leaves alot to be filled in, the movie could go in so many directions and nobody would have issues with lore being breached
Im so looking forward to Mark’s movie. I think it’s important to note that, unlike the mainstream movie industry projects that get shredded by executives for profit, Markiplier’s work has total freedom of creativity. Think about it, Mark works directly with the developer, he is a huge fan of the original game, he played Iron Lung multiple times, including with updates. You know how people say that fanfiction is often better written and more enjoyable than traditionally released media? It’s because the former is a passion project. The drive is not the profits, it’s one’s love and dedication to the source material. Mark wants this movie to be good, he wants to do justice to the game he loves. I trust him to listen, follow, *savor* the ideas and directions of the IL developer because Mark is a *fan* Meanwhile, many horror games film adaptations are total flops cause 1) they are sanitized to be palatable to broader audience 2) OG creators do not usually have this free of an access to the project 3) the people working on these movies (and I mean the studios) are nowhere nearly this invested in the source material Regardless of the outcomes, this is a massive step forward for Mark and a great learning experience
David F Sanberg is still on TH-cam. He's posted a new short recently on there with a BTS (he also lurks in the depths of Reddit and sometimes appears if you whisper his name).
With what Mark has been doing and going through, i hope it changes how everyone interacts with each other. From making executive decisions to further profits, to actually caring about the people working on it, how they want it to be. I know this was already said, but i just felt like saying it myself.
So, congratulations to Mark for doing a movie based on a video game and actually starring in it as the main character. I’ve seen him play the video game “Iron Lung” but I just don’t understand why he’s deathly afraid of water and did the movie (I hope when the movie comes out it gets a lot of good reviews and not mean/bad ones). Good luck on the project/process of the movie, “Giggliplier!!!”🎮😺😼🙀🧔🏻🎥🍿
to be completely honest, when I scrolled down after the video and saw less than 500 subs, I was actually shocked. I also had the same sentiment about this movie and had a similar conversation with one of my friends about it, but he didn't seem to care or think it was that big a deal in general.
Haha I'm glad we shocked you with our content 😂When you really broaden the topic of Markiplier making a movie, it really does become a way bigger deal.
I'm excited to see this, Mark has always been one of my favorites for his creative ideas. And speaking of youtubers branching into Hollywood, Jon Watts from Waverlyflams directed the spiderman mcu films.
Oh man, with this coming tantalisingly closer, and the Alan Wake TV series announced, and you presenting that opportunity for a CONTROL MOVIE... Man it looks like a real possibility. I can only hope.
8:08 I think that was done intentionally for the movie. (I could be wrong.) Parallels exist to the main series, but not exact to satisfy the hardcore fans that'll have fun finding the parallels and references while also still keeping their arms open for newcomers to the series and making it easily digestible and enjoyable without complicating and confusing the newcomers while still giving long time fans something new to chew on.
The only person on TH-cam I can think of that is doing things on the same scale as this is Alan Becker. He may not have created a film that’s gotten released to real cinemas, but he’s made a hell of a legacy with just stick figures and minecraft. Those vids of his have gotten insane amounts of views and with Animation vs Minecraft season 3 he’s created a plot that is on the same level as avengers endgame. The guy is insanely talented, he’s gone from early 2000s animations about stick figures just for shits and giggles and now, Jesus Christ, I wouldn’t be surprised if he ends up creating a project with TH-cam themselves
Awesome video. The movie Come play, was a TH-cam short called Larry and I loved that movie. Anyways I’m excited for Iron lung, I’ll definitely go see it.
If you haven’t known by now but A24 Picked up Kane Pixels to be the VFX artist for The Backrooms movie and Kane Pixels blew up by posting his own lore and story about the Backrooms so I’m looking forward for Iron Lung and The Backrooms
If all the Short movies and interactive movies Mark made serve of somenthing is proof he is the best bet for a full time TH-camr to direct and star in a movie
There are a lot of TH-camrs that I'm flabergasted haven't been able to get a feature out. Corridor Crew, Rocket Jump film School (they just gave up), Film Riot / Triune Digital ... those 3 are just primed for creating feature lenght content. I don't understand how Ryan Conolley hasn't gotten a feature yet. There are a few other that could get there, Cinecom and Andyax just to name a few more. Hey! If Red Letter Media can magae to publish a feature (sure no theatrical release) anyone can. I sort of miss the days of direct to Video od DVD. Sure a lot of crap was put out like Samurai Cop, Curse of the Wolf, Troll 2, Birdemic ... and so on but there were some gems in there as well that were created outside of the movie theatre system ... for a brilliant short slice of time if you were plucky and had a vision you could sell your movie. We do have services like Amazon Direct ... if they'll publish Diamond Cobra vs the White Fox they'll publish pretty much anything but it's not quite what we need yet. Anyway ... i'll get off my soapbox.
Such a great video breaking things down! It was straight to the point without being padded out or feeling like it was cut too short. After another year with the FNAF movie releasing and hearing about how hard Mark and everyone on the team has worked on this film, I believe it may actually be in contention for the best video game adaptation ever made and among the best movie created by a former/current TH-camr (hopefully). Inspiring on so many levels
You also forgot to mention that another thing that could make this movie a top seller, is that Mark is making and releasing this while the game is still a hot topic, unlike all these other video game movies that came out YEARS after they fell out of popularity like: Assassins Creed, Slender Man, Halo, FNAF, etc.
I remember when it was a big deal when the fnaf movie was announced, now it seems even the smallest indie horror games can be movies. So... hollow knight movie when?
I just want to say, I don’t agree with what you said about the FNaF film at all, it seems pretty close to the games imo, the creator of the games is working on it, and you don’t need TH-camrs that helped make the series famous in a film, especially when they may not be the best at acting at times.
Regarding the FNAF movie I just documented the facts that have come up since 2015 but, after seeing the trailer it could be quite good. The animations are by Jim Henson's Creature Shop which has such a MASSIVE reputation that, I think they could steal the spotlight and elevate the entire movie.
just wanted to lyk the algorithm really took a liking to this video ;) i didn’t expect to see such high quality content from such a small channel still tho. keep it up you’ll definitely make it 👌 👌 i really hope this movie does well for his sake bc i can only imagine the sweat and tears put into it. i’m hoping it’s good enough that it gets into film discussion/analyzing youtubers and it gains more attention outside of youtube 👀
We love the algorithm for delivering this to the masses of TH-cam, legit happy dances this morning. It's a hard task but I would love it to be the next paranormal activity of video game adaptions, like why did this horror video game adaptation do so well where others failed.
I just want to say, your presentation, editing and pacing is really good for such a small channel, you clearly know the fields your talking about or at the very least, doing very good research, keep it up mate, subbing before you reach the big leagues!
Considering the previous shows Markiplier has made. The sheer quality of them from writing and direction to visuals proove that if Iron Lung is not good, then something went horribly wrong behind the scenes
I had no idea hulshult was on board, he was one of the composers for the DOOM: Eternal DLCs, argent metal is notoriously sound design heavy, both in terms of just rawness and atmosphere. I have no doubt the music will be good af. That's cool. All of this is cool.
if horror films from video games get a huge rise after this, i do hope one about maybe Cry of Fear, yet again Andreas Rönnberg would probably need the support, if the idea itself would workout or not
What most excites me about the film as far as the game's lore goes is the fact Mark's working with the game developer so they could expand the lore in the film and it would be canonical with the game if the developer wanted that. That way even if you just like the game for it's unique and fascinating lore you'd have a really good reason to see the film anyway!
That The Last of Us (filmed near my hometown!) wasn't mentioned in the segment about horror game adaptations is wild to me lol. Granted its a tv show not a feature-length film, but it's definitely spearheading the (hopeful) era of successful horror game adaptations in my opinion. Either way, great breakdown of the TH-cam-Film relationship. I'm optimistically looking forwards to seeing Iron Lung
can i just say that mark the millionaire who donates his money to charity and works on these kinds of creative projects... is now about to be finishing a movie about creepy underwater submarine stuff and i think its just a little on the nose. i personally love it lol cant wait to watch the movie! just. damn. what a time to live in
The fact that Markiplier had the opportunity to make a movie, and he decided to make one not based on his own series ([Blank] With Markiplier, Damien, etc.), but to instead make one for this small indie horror game he really liked. I really, really admire that.
It's incredibly admirable both towards the creator and to the indie horror game industry. It shows that he cares, interested in expanding the lore and ultimately expanding the medium of content created films.
@@weirdmarketingtales this will also spotlight david, who makes really horror games. i do hope the fnaf movie is good as well.
I think its mostly because the clastrophobic set the game is based in can save a lot of money while staying true to the original game environment
Is it weird I kinda want Mark to start a movie studio and just make underdog video game movies
Honestly though Heist and Space were movies themselves
Mark has already started to change the game. He was nominated for an EMMY for In Space with Markiplier.
Wait, for real?

Thats great! But tell me, how does his boots taste?
No studio exec is bringing him down. He's kissing the ass of the film industry's bigwigs and actors not to get his project running

I really hope Iron Lung succeeds, not just for Mark's sake but because it might make the studios wake up and get the hell out of their own way. You hear so many stories about promising properties and ideas that flop because they went in the corporate machine and got spat out as something wholly different.
But if they realize that they can fund or just promote independent creators without having a billion dollar budget to recoup, we might get some original content on the big screens instead cut and paste copies of what did well.
I'm glad Mark is able to be a great example and inspiration where any and all can get what they want by being a genuinely Good Human Being.
Being a good human being is definitely something we need more of in the movie making world 👀💀
The story behind the film Skinamarink is defo part of this wave. The director, Kyle Edward Ball, has been making horror shorts on TH-cam for ages, then he scraped together a budget of $15,000 to make a film that got picked up by Shudder and grossed $2.1 million. All while having unconventional practices up to the ears and being quite polarising to viewers. I see it as more of an experience than a traditional horror flick. The new wave of horror is upon us and I couldn't be more excited.
Iron lung is also a really good candidate for a movie, not only because it has a lot of room to expand the lore, but because the game itself is so linear.

I can say for certain that Mark doesn't do things by half when he really is invested into something. If it's charity, if it's playing a video game, if it's making a project come to life, supporting his friends, whatever it is, once he's decided to do it...there is very little that will stand in his way. He is very likely THE most hardworking person I've ever known. He also doesn't like when people bully someone on youtube, known to come to their defense and cause a stir until things get done. I can't wait for the world to get but a taste of his masterpiece. It's gonna be amazing.
It's awesome to hear that you have such a strong connection to Markiplier as I do hear it a lot with him and some other TH-camrs I watch. I think it's phenomenal the impact that they can have on an individual that can last a decade like yours.
And I agree that Markiplier like Dad and Jacksepticeye for example are some of the hardest working content creators and, it shows in their content they create on the daily and in their big projects. It's going to be a very unique experience watching a theatre released film from him and I think he'll knock it out the park.
I don’t often trust studios who decide to make video game movies, but I sure as hell trust Mark to do it justice. He’s so talented and conscientious that I know he’s putting all of the love he has for the game into the film, and that’s awesome.
its going to crazy if this movies. goes viral. and climbs the rank of most sold movies. and no im not saying its gonna be 1# im just saying it would be cool to be atleast in the top 10
I’m pretty sure people are gonna shit on it regardless tho bc it’s made about a video-game (?) by a youtuber so they think he’s not as good as a “professional” despite his experience in the field.
@Gray very true. just how when they tried to get people to come onto their podcast. people would respond like. "markiplier? the youtuber? hell no"
It's definitely going to be a viral movie like no matter the quality but, if it is high quality it's gonna be phenomenal to see the rise.
also with the money he's gonna get. he can buy tons of a filming equipment and get permits to film in locations
Don’t want to be a buzzkill but there is no chance this gets anywhere near the top 10 highest grossing films of all time, lol. I’m sure it’ll be a fun time tho, which is what I assume Mark’s main goal is
The fact that this video has taken off also proves what a big impact Mark has. His fans love him and everyone else is keeping their eye on him as well to see if he succeeds.
Connections to corridor, the drive, the creator, and a fanbase makes it possible for the big time.
True! Could imagine Corridor Digital doing the effects even in a smaller role on a bigger film, OH that would be sweet.
markiplier literally has his own extended universe he could very easily make a movie over and instead did one for an indie game, really shows how selfless the man is
It's incredibly difficult to remove your ego from your work and, I don't think anyone can truly remove it. But when you make something that you love and can see massive potential in it, not just because you want too but other people do too. That's when selflessness shows and passion radiates.
It's also smart. Outsiders would sleep on what sounds like "The Markiplier Show #3", like some sort of wannabe pushing their vanity project.
With this project he's going small, doing it right, and adapting a strong, proven story in a way that outsiders will take seriously.
A wannabe tries to make every project their be-all-end-all; the biggest, the best, the magnum opus.
Choosing the project that's _the right thing for right now_ takes wisdom.
I maintain that mark was presented with the opportunity to make any movie with a specific budget and he decided on iron lung just to have the opportunity to pull more lore out of the game dev
A big thing Mark is advertising the fact that he’s breaking the record for the most blood in a horror movie (Obviously because of the blood oceans). I think it’s awesome that he can make a movie that he himself had funded.
And the dev being on set the ENTIRE filming of it was great. I’m not for sure so I’m just gonna hope that he also was a part of the direction of the movie and got to choose what happens in alot of this.
Markiplier making your game into a movie must be the biggest honour of all time
I thought he seemed a little out of it at times in his playthrough of Iron Lung, but when the movie was announced I rewatched it and realized he was actually just really invested and into it. Great stuff, amazing.
It would be great if there was another way for people to get into acting and movies without going through the nightmare that's hollywood.
Exactly, producers and directors scouting for talent on TH-cam instead of TH-camrs having to conform to the system.
You can. It;s just hard to be financially successful.
There are indie films and small indie distributors, tyou can self distribute ... it's just you are afr more restricted.
well hot damn, was not expecting such a high-quality video from this channel but color me surprised
Sometimes we just go ham on a video and the algorithm is like you did good there, now go into the algorithm box and have fun. 😂
Mark is a real one turning this fantastic indie game into a fully fledged movie. The concept and execution was brilliant from start to finish.
I would also give credit to Power Pak’s video on Iron lung as when that went viral it sparked the large number of requests from viewers asking big TH-camrs to play the game.
Markiplier included.
I know Mark interned at Corridor. If the movie is successful I hope they could work together in the future. Maybe it will open the door for others like them. There are so many that if given the opportunity could do so much better than whats out today.
i cannot process in my head that markiplier and the man in the first clip of this video are the same human being
he is the main character of the internet
That first clip is 10 years old and was buried for so long, until I uncovered it 😂 th-cam.com/video/nnkyInAj6Z8/w-d-xo.html
The man in the first clip is the Markiplier I remember😊
One thing I think that'll also be revolutionary with Mark's movie is that a lot of movies youtubers make that they want to be Big Things end up being TH-camr Movies: playing into what they're known for on youtube as usually a dramatization of themselves (Shane Dawson's Not Cool, Logan Paul's remake of Airplane, even that Liza Koshy show).
Mark has both already done this (literally calling his youtube projects "with markiplier) AND is making a professional movie that has no ties to his name BUT still plays within his strengths as a primarily horror game youtuber. It will be a fantastic movie, I'm sure of it
I really hope Mark's Iron Lung movie is successful like all of his other creations.
Really looking forward to it!!!!
edit: wait, justin started on youtube?
related to other channels struggling to put out good films that they want to make, I think Mark's advantage is he doesn't *have* to work with anyone. Like obviously he has a sound designer, the dev was involved every step of the way, and he had camera people etc. but those people are there bc he knows them and trusts them to help him creative something HE loves. I feel Iron Lung is a passion project more than anything, and he's the director, main star and post production. He doesn't have to pair with companies to publish the movie, he can do it himself because he has that reach.
I'm so excited for this movie, and I'm even more excited to see where he goes from here.
I believe after the smash hit of the fnaf movie just because it worked for the fans enjoyment iron lung is gonna destroy records
I just realized that I watched a video with 33k views, from a youtuber with only 607 subscribers. The video was so well made that I didn't even notice it was from a small youtuber. Keep up the good work, you'll make it far.
Madis Kruusmann, that is such a high compliment, it really makes me believe that we'll make it far with people like you on our side :D
I really do hope Iron Lung changes the culture around movies! I feel with Hollywood people have lost a lot of respect (bad adaptions, cash grabs, using big actors despite the film itself, etc.). It's become more of an industry than a heartfelt piece of art and that saddens me. I want movies with history! I want movies that can connect to other works and it doesn't feel like an afterthought or a misconstrued version of it. I wasn't ever really, really into FNAF but I hope that directors treat it with the respect and attention it deserves. I want it to be a heartfelt medium where directors can connect with the original creators and make something bigger than both of them!
If I remember correctly, Even mark was facing a bit of pushback from TH-cam when he was making Space, but refused to yield. Such as going over the projected budget of Space.
It's depressing that when someone makes a film that breaks new ground in the film industry it feels like they got away with something. They fooled the executives, or they got special treatment. They were *allowed* to try an unconventional narrative. Like it's a herculean feat to try something different and be successful.
I'm glad someone like Markiplier is going into film making and is doing so well with it, he doesn't have to answer to anyone from Hollywood.
Unpopular opinion. Resident Evil, Welcome to Racoon City was an AMAZING Resident Evil movie adaptation. People are just mad at Leon's cast and role in the movie but regardless, it played out Resident Evil 1 and 2 pretty well at the same time WHILE making it extremely suspensful.
Imagine a movie for Little Nightmares or Amnesia The Dark Descent. They have the potential to be absolutely fantastic!
What I would give for movie on Little Nightmares with some killer (lol) practical effects or just straight up animated
An Amnesia movie would be AMAZING.
on adapting horror games to movies; Iron Lung leaves alot to be filled in, the movie could go in so many directions and nobody would have issues with lore being breached
I am so excited to watch his Iron Lung movie, it will 100% be awesome
Im so looking forward to Mark’s movie. I think it’s important to note that, unlike the mainstream movie industry projects that get shredded by executives for profit, Markiplier’s work has total freedom of creativity. Think about it, Mark works directly with the developer, he is a huge fan of the original game, he played Iron Lung multiple times, including with updates. You know how people say that fanfiction is often better written and more enjoyable than traditionally released media? It’s because the former is a passion project. The drive is not the profits, it’s one’s love and dedication to the source material. Mark wants this movie to be good, he wants to do justice to the game he loves. I trust him to listen, follow, *savor* the ideas and directions of the IL developer because Mark is a *fan*
Meanwhile, many horror games film adaptations are total flops cause 1) they are sanitized to be palatable to broader audience 2) OG creators do not usually have this free of an access to the project 3) the people working on these movies (and I mean the studios) are nowhere nearly this invested in the source material
Regardless of the outcomes, this is a massive step forward for Mark and a great learning experience
David F Sanberg is still on TH-cam. He's posted a new short recently on there with a BTS (he also lurks in the depths of Reddit and sometimes appears if you whisper his name).
With what Mark has been doing and going through, i hope it changes how everyone interacts with each other. From making executive decisions to further profits, to actually caring about the people working on it, how they want it to be.
I know this was already said, but i just felt like saying it myself.
Now I can’t wait for the film adaptation of Squirrel Stapler.
Markiplier will always be king of youtube to me. Even if I no longer actively watch his videos. No one has his sparkle
So, congratulations to Mark for doing a movie based on a video game and actually starring in it as the main character. I’ve seen him play the video game “Iron Lung” but I just don’t understand why he’s deathly afraid of water and did the movie (I hope when the movie comes out it gets a lot of good reviews and not mean/bad ones). Good luck on the project/process of the movie, “Giggliplier!!!”🎮😺😼🙀🧔🏻🎥🍿
Can't believe Markipoo would sink a submarine to promote his movie
to be completely honest, when I scrolled down after the video and saw less than 500 subs, I was actually shocked. I also had the same sentiment about this movie and had a similar conversation with one of my friends about it, but he didn't seem to care or think it was that big a deal in general.
Haha I'm glad we shocked you with our content 😂When you really broaden the topic of Markiplier making a movie, it really does become a way bigger deal.
i've been watching mark since i was in the 4th/5th grade. i'm in college now. times have changed, i'm so proud of him
I'm excited to see this, Mark has always been one of my favorites for his creative ideas. And speaking of youtubers branching into Hollywood, Jon Watts from Waverlyflams directed the spiderman mcu films.
Another TH-camr becoming a filmmaker is movie critic Chris Stuckmann, He's writer/director on ''Shelby Oaks'' a supernatural horror mystery film.
Markiplier is someone who literally started from nothing grew his way up and then now he’s here where he’s extremely popular and he’s making movies
Oh man, with this coming tantalisingly closer, and the Alan Wake TV series announced, and you presenting that opportunity for a CONTROL MOVIE...
Man it looks like a real possibility. I can only hope.
8:08 I think that was done intentionally for the movie. (I could be wrong.) Parallels exist to the main series, but not exact to satisfy the hardcore fans that'll have fun finding the parallels and references while also still keeping their arms open for newcomers to the series and making it easily digestible and enjoyable without complicating and confusing the newcomers while still giving long time fans something new to chew on.
The only person on TH-cam I can think of that is doing things on the same scale as this is Alan Becker. He may not have created a film that’s gotten released to real cinemas, but he’s made a hell of a legacy with just stick figures and minecraft. Those vids of his have gotten insane amounts of views and with Animation vs Minecraft season 3 he’s created a plot that is on the same level as avengers endgame. The guy is insanely talented, he’s gone from early 2000s animations about stick figures just for shits and giggles and now, Jesus Christ, I wouldn’t be surprised if he ends up creating a project with TH-cam themselves
Awesome video.
The movie Come play, was a TH-cam short called Larry and I loved that movie.
Anyways I’m excited for Iron lung, I’ll definitely go see it.
If you haven’t known by now but A24 Picked up Kane Pixels to be the VFX artist for The Backrooms movie and Kane Pixels blew up by posting his own lore and story about the Backrooms so I’m looking forward for Iron Lung and The Backrooms
I hope the iron lung and FNAF movie will be good
So do I! I'll be going to the FNAF screening for sure.
People felt so compelled by a small indie title that one of its players decided to make a FUCKING MOVIE in its setting
astounding
If all the Short movies and interactive movies Mark made serve of somenthing is proof he is the best bet for a full time TH-camr to direct and star in a movie
There are a lot of TH-camrs that I'm flabergasted haven't been able to get a feature out.
Corridor Crew, Rocket Jump film School (they just gave up), Film Riot / Triune Digital ... those 3 are just primed for creating feature lenght content.
I don't understand how Ryan Conolley hasn't gotten a feature yet.
There are a few other that could get there, Cinecom and Andyax just to name a few more.
Hey! If Red Letter Media can magae to publish a feature (sure no theatrical release) anyone can.
I sort of miss the days of direct to Video od DVD. Sure a lot of crap was put out like Samurai Cop, Curse of the Wolf, Troll 2, Birdemic ... and so on but there were some gems in there as well that were created outside of the movie theatre system ... for a brilliant short slice of time if you were plucky and had a vision you could sell your movie.
We do have services like Amazon Direct ... if they'll publish Diamond Cobra vs the White Fox they'll publish pretty much anything but it's not quite what we need yet.
Anyway ... i'll get off my soapbox.
Go get them, Mark! We believe in You!
Such a great video breaking things down! It was straight to the point without being padded out or feeling like it was cut too short. After another year with the FNAF movie releasing and hearing about how hard Mark and everyone on the team has worked on this film, I believe it may actually be in contention for the best video game adaptation ever made and among the best movie created by a former/current TH-camr (hopefully). Inspiring on so many levels
If iron lung is getting a movie I better see a pizza tower movie in the next year
Hollywood's not ready for the fnaf box office/iron lung one two punch
Bro thinks he's the CEO of OceanGate
i know how passionate Mark is about stuff he likes, you already KNOW the movie's gonna be INSANE
Im suprised you talked about youtubers making a horror movie, with talking about kane pixel
You also forgot to mention that another thing that could make this movie a top seller, is that Mark is making and releasing this while the game is still a hot topic, unlike all these other video game movies that came out YEARS after they fell out of popularity like: Assassins Creed, Slender Man, Halo, FNAF, etc.
I remember when it was a big deal when the fnaf movie was announced, now it seems even the smallest indie horror games can be movies. So... hollow knight movie when?
"and they dont have matpat on the team" greatest ironic quote of all time
I just want to say, I don’t agree with what you said about the FNaF film at all, it seems pretty close to the games imo, the creator of the games is working on it, and you don’t need TH-camrs that helped make the series famous in a film, especially when they may not be the best at acting at times.
Regarding the FNAF movie I just documented the facts that have come up since 2015 but, after seeing the trailer it could be quite good. The animations are by Jim Henson's Creature Shop which has such a MASSIVE reputation that, I think they could steal the spotlight and elevate the entire movie.
wow speaking of movies this video is produced so well 😭 great content
Thanks Lemmy, you're a star ⭐
bro did not talk about the last of use
sure it's a series but still a fuckin amazing adaptation
Let's go markiplier
just wanted to lyk the algorithm really took a liking to this video ;)
i didn’t expect to see such high quality content from such a small channel still tho. keep it up you’ll definitely make it 👌 👌
i really hope this movie does well for his sake bc i can only imagine the sweat and tears put into it. i’m hoping it’s good enough that it gets into film discussion/analyzing youtubers and it gains more attention outside of youtube 👀
We love the algorithm for delivering this to the masses of TH-cam, legit happy dances this morning.
It's a hard task but I would love it to be the next paranormal activity of video game adaptions, like why did this horror video game adaptation do so well where others failed.
I just want to say, your presentation, editing and pacing is really good for such a small channel, you clearly know the fields your talking about or at the very least, doing very good research, keep it up mate, subbing before you reach the big leagues!
Thanks Voin! We do our best to do our research to deliver what we think is decent content :D You're in the pre 1000 sub gang now!
@@weirdmarketingtales Whoo!
IM SO HAPPY MEDIA IS SLOWLY BECOMING NOT SHIT AGAIN! WOOOO GO MARK
Considering the previous shows Markiplier has made. The sheer quality of them from writing and direction to visuals proove that if Iron Lung is not good, then something went horribly wrong behind the scenes
I had no idea hulshult was on board, he was one of the composers for the DOOM: Eternal DLCs, argent metal is notoriously sound design heavy, both in terms of just rawness and atmosphere. I have no doubt the music will be good af. That's cool.
All of this is cool.
I watched his Iron Lung and had a good laugh. I hope his film does well.
if horror films from video games get a huge rise after this, i do hope one about maybe Cry of Fear, yet again Andreas Rönnberg would probably need the support, if the idea itself would workout or not
Rackaracka are a great example of TH-camrs making a movie while being mainly TH-camrs. 96% from critics on rotten tomatoes and everything
What most excites me about the film as far as the game's lore goes is the fact Mark's working with the game developer so they could expand the lore in the film and it would be canonical with the game if the developer wanted that. That way even if you just like the game for it's unique and fascinating lore you'd have a really good reason to see the film anyway!
That The Last of Us (filmed near my hometown!) wasn't mentioned in the segment about horror game adaptations is wild to me lol. Granted its a tv show not a feature-length film, but it's definitely spearheading the (hopeful) era of successful horror game adaptations in my opinion. Either way, great breakdown of the TH-cam-Film relationship. I'm optimistically looking forwards to seeing Iron Lung
I was NOT expecting to see a Kenny Omega clip in a video about Markiplier, but I'm not complaining!
Bro how do you only have 800 subs? This is such a high quality video! You get my sub for sure
Thanks OceanMan20, I was thinking 350 subs was a good point after 5 months, now you've all taken us to almost 1000, I cannot believe it!
I 100% Agree.
Just look at Markiplier's previous Shows, it's no joke, it's amazing.
wow really high quality video!
you’ve earned yourself a subscriber 👍
Thanks Drayy, and it's excellent to have you as a sub! :D
@@weirdmarketingtales Why you are very welcome 😁
If this movie is a success then we NEED a Lethal Company Movie
Dude this video is so good, the editing, the thought process. You deserve so many more subs man good job.
Thanks One More Shadow, the love for this video has just been overwhelming!
really like how this video was put together, some really good points made and overall really engaging to sit through. keep smashing it!
Thanks Smill, glad it kept you engaged and we'll do our best with smashing out videos like these.
can i just say that mark the millionaire who donates his money to charity and works on these kinds of creative projects... is now about to be finishing a movie about creepy underwater submarine stuff and i think its just a little on the nose. i personally love it lol cant wait to watch the movie! just. damn. what a time to live in
Underrated TH-camr
Cheers mate! :D
I would like to point out that the channel Dead Meat is also working on their own horror film and going through the hollywood system with it as well
Ohh my god I love this game
A movie for it?? BY MARKIPLIER?? OH MY GOD
If anyone can do it, it's Markiplier!
Did you see the new trailer?! Holy CRAP I'm soooo excited for this thing.
