submitted 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) by TheImpressiveX@piefed.social to c/movies@piefed.social

5 comments fedilink hide all child comments

The staff and authors of the SCP Foundation Wiki (the real-life writing project behind the SCP Foundation universe and its official home) were not consulted or contacted regarding this film. We have been attempting to contact the filmmakers but haven't yet been successful. To be clear: we have not had any communication with the filmmakers, producers, or distributors for this project, despite our best efforts, and to the best of our knowledge they have not made any efforts to contact us. Furthermore, A24 does not and cannot have any exclusive rights to anything related to the SCP Foundation, including any films that Spooky Pictures or anyone else may choose to create.

Based. Whether it holds up in court will be interesting to see.

Assuming they correctly licensed all their content from the beginning - CC isn't just a small license, but one of the big and known ones. It's battle tested in courts.
