Last week, we shared that Backrooms director Kane Parsons' dream project is adapting the game Portal, and the gaming community reacted in force. The 20-year-old is behind A24's highest-grossing movie to date, having turned the Backrooms from creepypasta memes into Hollywood horror. When we shared the news that he's a fan of the first-person puzzle-platform series developed by Valve, the community flooded the comments: "Yeah he for sure grew up a gamer 😭" "The guy made Backrooms for $10 million and pulled $117 million, so Valve would be insane not to at least take the meeting." Others traded theories on how a Portal adaptation could work and which games should be next. This is a clear example of the overlapping communities that power internet culture. Fans don't live in one community. They move fluidly across them.
This is amazing to see. Wishing him all the best!
