Deadline reported today that A24 Studios plans to shoot a sci-fi horror film based on a back room, with Roberto Patino as the screenwriter and Shawn Levy and James Wan as executive producers. Deadline reported that in addition to A24, there are several other film companies competing for the film rights, but did not specify which ones.

The Backrooms is an urban legend and creepypasta that refers to a maze of randomly generated office rooms covering an area of ​​1.5 billion square kilometers, about three times the surface area of ​​the Earth. However, there is only one exit in this maze. It is characterized by a damp smell like moldy carpet, monochrome yellow walls and buzzing fluorescent lights.

The concept originally came from a discussion thread on 4chan, where the topic asked netizens to share disturbing pictures. At that time, an anonymous user posted a yellow-toned photo, which quickly attracted the attention of the public. Then an anonymous user wrote an article based on the picture, describing how people were trapped in an endless horror space because they accidentally broke away from reality. According to the comprehensive data of Backrooms, Backrooms has a total of 9 main levels and countless sub-levels. Since its birth, The Backrooms has spawned a variety of creations including video games and YouTube videos.
