I found this on IMDB and was curious if anyone had heard anything about it:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3045366/

Thinking that this must be some sort of joke I did a little looking around and found out that it seems like this is actually going to be a thing. Black Castle Productions will be handling it and apparently according to the IMDB page listed above Mischa Barton will be Adrienne (pictured below).

This could end up being really fantastic in a terribly awesome way. Anyone have any other information on the project or ideas on who could play characters like Don?

Phantasmagoria is co-produced by AFI alumnus Nikit Doshi and directed by the multiple award-winning Writer/Director Steven Shea. “As a huge fan of the game when I was in high school, we are all very excited to bring this film to life. We have taken what was great about the game and tweaked it just a bit. The changes we made were not only to help it cross over to film but also to update it for today’s audience who might not know about the game,” says Sabrina, producer of Phantasmagoria: The Movie. “We also have a few surprises up our sleeves, some things that actually have never been done before in our industry! Like I said, as fans of the game, we are all pretty excited about this project.”

Phantasmagoria: The Movie will be shot and will be doing post production entirely in the state of Louisiana. Along with Phantasmagoria: The Movie, Black Castle Productions has a few other exciting projects in various stages of development. Life On Bourbon will also be their first web series. Life On Bourbon is a gritty look into the crazy and often comical lives of a group of twenty-something misfits on the world famous Bourbon Street in New Orleans Louisiana. Other projects in development include a romantic comedy, Girlfriend For Hire, and Nu Na Da Ul Tsun Yi, an epic drama.

This has Criterion written all over it. Get a Vinny Caravella and Dave Snider commentary track and essay.

Whatttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt

@daneian: That or I would absolutely love a Vinny and Dave "rifftrax" or whatever the kids are calling them these days.

I feel like the crucial element is to have serious, sincere effort being undertaken for something that is so fundamentally duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuumb.

Why would anyone do this? The video game was perfect. You don't mess with perfection.

@daneian: Now that you put it like that, I 100% agree.

Um, never heard of this game. This is hella weird.

@snail: Go watch the playthrough Vinny and Dave did RIGHT NOW!

Wow. Hope the 'Love' scene is less scary and also hilarious this time around. Also why

I CAN SMELL THE OSCARS HOORAH

Holy shit, what!? I'm sure that, like every movie that's too awesomely dumb to exist (Neverhood: The Movie, the forever-in-limbo Killer Klowns 2), it'll die before it gets made, but I'll happily get my hopes up again for this.

I do hope they play it completely straight. Maybe a bit of ham on account of the whole magician theme, and because FMV, but I don't want it to be tongue-in-cheek. Phantasmagoria "worked" because the silliness was unintentional. Maybe get Roberta Williams to consult?

Either way, I'd love for this to lead to a Phantasmagoria 2 movie (the first game is an old favorite of mine, but could you imagine what a movie based on the sequel would be like? Holy shit), or a third game.

This was pretty much my reaction and why I made a thread about it in the first place.

I totally agree on the idea of a movie based on the sequel, just think of all the awkward office chatter they could have in the beginning!

Waiting on that Sci Fi original update of Sewer Shark.

I'd rather see them make a movie of PHANTASMAGORIA 2: A PUZZLE OF FLESH!

@artisanbreads: BUT WHO WOULD PLAY DOGMEAT!?

I refuse to believe this.

@bacongames: Then believe in Don!

Still not sure who I would pick for him, maybe Tim Robbins? I know he's older now but he can pull off that kind of look.

Don't…..DON'T play with my heart strings Hollywood. If you make this a movie, with the bad acting and everything, I will knell before you mouth open wide.

How about Brad Garrett as the mentally challenged son of the old lady?

YES.

Uhh...this is the last video game I'd expect to be made into a movie.

I still haven't watched that Vinny/Dave playthrough. I think I might go ahead and do that right now.

@aegon: All of their Random PC game vids are great. I just wish they'd done more with Daggerfall and the like.

@amikron: Its the feature I miss the most and knew we wouldn't have it again when Dave left.

Not sure we need it. That game is basically already a movie.

Thinking about casting: Gilbert Gottfried as the Hintkeeper.

I know who could play Don.

Richard Tyson. You may know him as the bad guy from Kindergarten Cop.

He doesn't have the douche ponytail anymore but I'm pretty sure he could grow it out :P

There is a bunch of videos of vinny and dave playing through that stupid game. You should use that premium membership and go watch that. It's really something else.

Please let it be one of two things.

Surprisingly good.

Hilariously bad.

If it commits the crime of being boring, that will be a sad day my friends.

Oh man.....

....Oh man...

Until this is out in public theaters and/or readily available for rental/streaming I refuse to believe it even remotely exists. I just cannot comprehend this thing being real, because whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat.

they couldn't get someone who kinda boppin' in the front?

Looks like I'm not the only one who's been going back and watching TANG. Good on them to adopt this crazy, ridiculous game into a movie.

Is it just me or does Mischa Barton look like a meth-head in that photo?

Welp, guess that means I have to watch Dave and Vinny's playthrough again to "prepare".

The name phantasmagoria is stupid enough that it makes sense for a 90's FMV game, not a movie so marketing it to the general public is going to be tough.

I'll watch it only if they recreate every death scene in the game and somehow pull it off so that any of the "endings" could've happened, like Clue did.

YES!!

Wow, they are way more out of ideas than I thought.

It will fail on all fronts. You simply cannot out-cheese the original.

Also the original Adrienne is hotter.

well...... for some reason I'm reminded of the last Hellraiser film where they rushed it just to keep the rights to the franchise.

Hmmmmm, it could work, for some reason Black Castle reminds me of the production company of Ghost Ship and 13 Ghost but upon checking them out.... YIKES..... okay this might suck.

Michael Biehn with a TRON cg facejob of course.

This is the video game movie we all deserve.

i recently acquired the game after watching Dave and Vinny go through it. all i have to say is, the mouse glitch is REAL.

@crithon: I can only hope it is terrible enough that it is good, and not mediocre enough to be boring.

@freshbandito: Someone draft a memo, we've cast the important roles for Black Castle.
