The Unknown (2024) Announced! | Willy Wonka Horror Movie!

[Music] good evening campers dreamers and babysitters and yeah I guess uh we'll just kind of hop right into this and you know hop on the the viral hate train for everything that's been going on around this situation yes we're talking about the uh the Wonka viral experience I think that's uh that's what everybody's kind of deeming this as I've been following this this is not a not something we would normally talk about on our channel uh but now there's a reason to because uh they're making a horr

or movie out of it and like I said I've been following it and I I I know about it I thought it was pretty funny I mean it sucks for the people who fell for it but when you look at the marketing for this stuff and you look into everything that led into this it's just kind of like well what did you expect I mean this is this is just a wild story through and through and it's kind of taken the inter by storm over the last week Luke tell me when did this first pop across your radar not necessarily th

e movie we'll talk about that but the whole experience um you know when it all first happened I saw a passing article of it you know and I just kind of I clicked on it and just kind of you know peruse through it didn't really pay too much attention to it you know I just thought it was kind of one of those H in interesting stories you know that you'll just F away and completely forget about so I didn't really think too much of it at the time I certainly didn't think we were gonna be uh getting a

film out of it so you know I didn't put too much stock into it it was just kind of one of those um AI generated of course you know and then you see the images of what it actually looked like inside the place and it was like well well you know um not surprising you know in terms of uh misrepresentation I guess so you know it wasn't really something that I I I thought about too much until of course the news today yeah and that news is that we are getting a horror movie based off of it uh entitled

The Unknown which if you uh know anything about the situation pretty much uh to give you the the very small like oh we're throwing this into a uh into a little pot here for you it was essentially a scam that's what everybody's kind of labeled it as because it was a an AI generated script AI generated marketing from this company called like the Illuminati experience whatever I'll throw it up on screen here but uh yeah basically this guy sold a Bunch tickets for this huge extravagant Wonka Willy W

onker uh th uh Chocolate Factory whatever the hell you want to call it it was It was supposed to be this big event you go there get candy have fun basically live through the film of uh Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and it wasn't that it was a ramshackle together people getting their scripts the day of or the night before and it's all gobbly G and the one thing that everybody seems to be taking away from this is this character of the unknown which is what this film is centered around it is th

is creepy uh chocolate maker who will steal you and take you away I guess is what the the computer came up with and uh yeah they they've decided to uh go forth and make a full-blown film uh centered around the unknown yeah um I uh I got to say I I've have been very supportive I think both of us have been supportive of kind of these public domain horror films I think when you have a couple things like winny the Pooh Blood and Honey and the thing the folks over there are doing and even the two deg

ree uh the Steamboat Willie stuff you know these are fun they they can be fun they can be goofy now we're dipping into viral Trends becoming horror films th this is where I'm going to have to draw the line this is [ __ ] dumb I why are we why are we wasting our time making this into what is ultimately going to be and I don't care how harsh I sound a junk horror movie you know for me I guess I don't necessarily understand a ton of the outrage uh for all of this um you know I think I I don't know

necessarily the premise that they're going with here um if we're you know focusing on this chocolate maker that lives in the walls and can steal you okay I mean I suppose there's room in the horror realm for it how many shark NATO films do we have uh we you know I I think horror does jump on pop culture Trends and that's just the nature of the bees so you know if we're going to zero in on this hey uh you look at the original willly Wonka and the Chocolate Factory I would say it never fully leans

into horror there's certainly horror elements to it and I think that sort of film can be SP spun into a very um lucrative and um expansive lore in terms of you know that horror aspect of it now I think in terms of looking at this the big hamstring is going to be the budget you know you're not going to get something like the Gene Wilder vehicle and get that expansive uh universe so this is probably going to look like something that is very lowbudget but you know when you look at something like t

his if we're ripping just that idea of this unknown character that's was AI generated and we're going to create this backstory to it which we don't really know exactly what's going to be going on here I think I would find that a little more interesting than a steamboat will spun horror film I don't know you know I think at at certain points you can see horror undertones of things and you can say well maybe there's more of an expansive lore here rather than here so you know for me I know there is

outrage but you know hey we have a level [ __ ] we have B level [ __ ] we certainly have C D you know it goes all the way down so you know for me it's something where I understand where you're coming from is it something I'm excited about not really but you know I'll see what they give us and I think my to to reiterate and clarify my main issue is is not with the fact that they're taking necessarily this character and they're giving it a backstory and they're doing all this stuff it's just the

the blatancy of this being very much we're just trying to capitalize on this trend and you know I think that it's very fair people could throw that at the winie the Pooh Blood and Honey guys um but I think that we've seen some Goodwill from them recently with their trailer and once that second film comes out uh at the end of the month here we'll really be able to sit there and say okay at least that they you know at the end of the day really did pull a cash grab with that first film to get a bud

get to make the film they want to make this doesn't feel like that to me and the reason I say that is because if you look into this um this is coming from uh I I don't even know how to pronounce this konia pictures uh picture previews uh it's essentially a a film that is going to be set to come out later this year so it's like they haven't even started shooting they haven't done anything they they I don't even know if they've they can't even say if there's a script out and they're already talkin

g about that it's going to be out this year um so it's like yeah there there isn't much behind this at all and there it the the story is going to be uh follows a renowned illustrator and his wife who are haunted by the tragic death of their son Charlie uh desperate to escape their grief the couple leaves the World Behind uh for the remote Scottish Highlands uh where an unknown evil awaits them I mean that is just what does that have to do with even anything that the that happened in this you kno

w viral Trend or anything like or this this incident like it it seems like this was somebody had a horror movie idea and now they're going to slap the unknown and attach it to this Wonka uh you know Extravaganza that this was and and say this is what it is now it's the Wonka horror movie it's like it's it just it feels way more deliberate cash grab and I I think that by the time this thing comes out it's it's not going to be worth it I don't think anybody's gonna watch this and that's really whe

re my issue lies it's not at least with Steamboat Willie at least with Pooh and everything there is a clear genuine effort being being put behind those this from the offset I can tell you this is not that yeah and you know for me you know and I want to clarify is I mentioned Steamboat Willam I certainly don't have a problem with that you know it's something where I think there is certainly room in the horror space for any story that needs to be told um you know if a creative is out there that wa

nts to I guess create a story and put some sort of connective tissue hey I'm all for it now this one again we only know the synopsis we don't know too much about about everything you know it from I saw that synopsis and I was wondering how that was going to intertwine with this whole Willy Wonka experience um you know it for me as long as we're not kind of telling the story of this family that's going to go on this viral trip that they've seen these AI generated images and end up in this sort of

random Warehouse that is you know very underwhelming I think you know that aspect of it be like I don't think that story necessarily needs to be told I'm curious to see how they're going to apply the synopsis that they gave us and use this unknown character to it now I I don't know how they're going to do it or you know how they're going to intertwine these stories um so I think for that I would have to wait and see now I think as when we say late in 2024 all these production companies have the

se big kind of ideas of hey we're going to get this out and of course once once you put um pen to paper and then you get that done and then you start rolling cameras hey guess what we're pushing that release date back now if it's something where we were gonna apply that specific scenario that just happened weeks ago I would say okay this one no one's going to care about and now you have to take that idea and you have to build off of it so if you're able to take that grain of an idea and build of

f it and create something else in terms of it's not just that Viral experience that we all know that just happened that I'd say okay not necessarily time sensitive as long as you're taking this and you're building off of it now I don't know if they're going to build off it if this is just a cash crab I have no clue um so you know for me I read about it I was like I don't I don't know necessarily if I'm excited about this um you know I wish there was that idea of wiie Wonka again I feel like thos

e horror undertones there is a story to be told there I don't think this is going to be that story but I'm not necessarily in an uproar about this one because hey I support what the Blood and Honey guys are doing in terms of uh we spoke with them and hey they took an idea they they saw the IP they said we want to create these stories we want to get people talking hey we want to create this outrage we know people are going to be mad about it but it's our foot in the door and we want to be able to

tell these stories now if that's going to be the case hey go for it by all means do you have my attention in terms of me sitting down and wanting to watch this hey you're going to have to show me a trailer and something tangible because I can't really go off of anything other than this random viral story and then this little little two sentence synopsis you've given me so for me I I really don't know where I stand with this thing and that's fair I mean I I think really again the the main thing

that I think people are up in arms about and and what really got me going about this is that it's just I feel like it does take away from any legitimacy that's uh you know the other people who are making these uh public domain horror films are trying trying to build into themselves now I get it there's and and I just want to say you know uh we stand on on that that end of our review of Blood and Honey and how many people came into that and said I don't support this I don't think you know there a

re different levels to this stuff where it's you know people don't support what the Blood and Honey guys are doing because it's a a sensitive character so there's always this kind of it it depends on where you lie with this type of stuff so there's always that kind of dich dichotomy in terms of um you know I support this but whoa whoa now now I don't you know so like for me it's hard to kind of really stand you know draw the line anywhere with especially in the horror space sure but I mean I thi

nk the the thing that this is like worrisome for me is that this if we're going to start going off viral Trends now what is going to stop anybody from taking any generic horror script and just saying oh well we're going to change two elements of this and now this is based off or this is this movie to to get eyes on it it's just going to turn into you know we'll have some stupid viral Trend happen in two months and then someone's going to make a horror movie around it I I feel like it's going to

even quicker oversaturate this market and really start to to make people look at you know these it's just going to make everything look like start to look down on horror again I feel like after a while I feel like you're going to start to have too many people cuz we got to think we're horror fans but we also have to think about the the generic you know casual audience who is probably going to find this on a streaming service and think well what the [ __ ] is this like why am I why why are they m

aking movies like this and then you're just going to start to alienate more people like I know that's a risk we take with the blood and honey thing but again I think that those guys at least are taking a stab and making something more tangible more at least fun than just taking a recognizable thing and slapping you know that onto a generic script I mean you know it's all relative I think in that sense where um I'm kicking myself because I'm forgetting the viral Trend it was um a few years ago wh

ere it was um they said it was like some figure that was like convincing people to you know uh commit suicide and I forget what it was called but I have to look it up it was Momo or something I forget what exactly it was called but you know anytime that these viral Trends come out it then a month or two yes certainly not usually the trajectories a little bit longer but you know it's um it's one of those things where hey we can probably look over the past five six years and pick out so many diffe

rent viral trends that have eventually become films um you know and even to bring up that point of you know the general audience looking at looking down upon horror Hae we're not new to this space it's always been that way how how much did they they uh um switch the you know uh silence the lamps is a thriller it's not horror um you know once we start talking about uh that movie actually getting um you know um nominated for awards so you know I think it's all relative in that in that instance whe

re it's kind of like hey people looking down on horror is not necessarily um a new trend and you know I I think Blood and Honey came out didn't not affect any sort of elevated horror coming out and that is treated with more gravitas than what we do see with these kind of films that are more offshoots of already established property so you know for me again it I don't know necessarily if it's going to hurt too much of anything we've seen a lot of films with based off viral Trends and you know I I

think a general audience is going to look down on horror whether we have uh more viral Trend films in the horror space or not okay well that's where I draw the line we're going to have to to end the podcast here you you have uh stepped over uh a line I cannot cross I will not defend the Wily Wonka unknown horror film no I'm just [ __ ] with you it's h i I get what you're saying and I think maybe right now it's just uh I'm a little bit more sensitive to this just because this of all things like

I would have honestly been more accepting of like the Grimace trend from last summer becoming a goofy horror movie this just I don't know there's something even more soulless to this and I think the only reason the grimmest thing I think stands out to me a little bit is because there was a lot of genuine fun to be had there but there was also a lot of really creative little videos that people made they actually showed a proof of concept there and you're right we don't have a trailer we don't hav

e anything here so it it's just the sentence synopsis so I just I I think overall I I I I will need to see something before I can fully make my decision but right now I just I I don't see this as being necessary and and I I I don't usually air on the side of negativity but I think I'm GNA sit there for now I think I think I'm just going to say this is I'm gonna put my little Shields up and I'm gonna sit here so you I mean you know and that's certainly fine we can all have our certain opinions I'

m not mad at it you know it's something where the unknown is the unknown I don't know what they're going to do here I don't even think they know what the unknown is you know uh I'd have to see a trailer to really judge this thing you know if if you want to take this grain of an idea and build upon it if that's what they do hey mean go for it now does that necessarily mean I'm gonna watch it no um you know but if if it's going to be out there and it's gonna you know make you happy and this is gon

na add to I don't know tub's library of um d l horror movies then hey by all means have at it but you know I understand that people aren't happy about it but you know I again we've had so many viral trends that have turned into film so um we'll have to wait and see on this one I really because name seven how about that go ahead name I'm just [ __ ] with you I I I see what you're saying and I I get it I I'm curious to see what you guys think I think that's that's really where I want to see where

everybody's heads at I know there's been a lot of uh vital already about this uh I am certainly not the happiest about it but I think uh you know Luke is here to keep us a little bit levelheaded and let the let them cook let them see what they can do and hey if if we end up getting sent a screener uh and we end up watching this and I actually do find some enjoyment in it I will be the first person on here to say hey I was wrong so you know because I it would not be the first time you you used it

uh not too long ago in a video uh where you said uh think about how I was looking at Barbarian I thought Barbarian looked generic I thought that was stupid ended up being my favorite horror film in 2022 so you know not saying that this is the same level but uh I guess yeah I I'll sit there so let us know Down Below guys what you guys think of the Wonka unknown horror film is this uh something you're looking forward to do you think because uh we've opened the door to things like Steamboat Willie

and uh you know Pooh Blood and Honey that this is uh just the next Evolution this is the natural progression or uh do you are you a little bit more like me and thinking okay this is where I draw the line I will not choose to support this project I'm very curious to see what happens here um who knows maybe this will be the only story we get out of this and the project will die and then that's it because we got a whole year to wait we'll see and like Luke said uh release dates do get pushed back

so who knows who really knows but other than that guys we got a lot of great stuff on the channel we just checked out a really good movie called Frogman you guys should definitely check that one out that was fun um as well as some other great videos out there on the channel right now and some more to come man our docket is busy this month so keep your eyes peeled we got a lot of fun stuff on the way but until next time I am Dylan n and I'm Li janesco and remember stay scared do it live splatter

cast kick it every day they [Music] live [Music] slash ass
