So my friends want to make a Slenderman movie

[RWBR]

A few days ago one of them texted me saying that they were going to be making a Slenderman movie, and that since I'm the expert (been reading/watching Slenderman related materials since 2009), I should hop on board their movie to help with the plot and stuff. I was absolutely delighted, until my friend started to talk about what he wants to do.

He wants:

-Slenderman to have a mouth
-Slenderman to write
-a love scene
-Slenderman to use knives
-Slendy to be introduced during the first 5 minutes and then immediately start killing everyone

The thing is, I already told him my idea for the plot before he started spewing all this at me. And unfortunately he likes my plot, so he's using that as his movie plot, so I can't just ditch him and make my own movie. And whenever I would try to correct him about a mistake he said about Slenderman or give an idea, he'd cut me off and say something like, "How about if instead of my character doing this, why don't we have Slenderman stab him!"

My other friend who is working on the project though seems to like my ideas more than his, which is good, except that the one who has all of the bad ideas is also the one who is writing the script.

So, Escapist, my question to you is: What can I do to convince my friend that his ideas need to be improved upon, and, if not, what can I do so that his movie doesn't turn into a puke fest?

Also this is my first thread, so... Hi.

You just gotta set him straight. Tell him that this is not Slenderman and he's not making a Slenderman movie, just some other slasher movie with a somewhat unique baddie. He's got to decide whether he wants to create his own slasher monster or whatever, or if he actually wants to do Slenderman. If he wants to do Slendy for real, make him listen to the lore about Slenderman, and if he can't just get the fuck out.

He could also do a Candlejack movie but that might end up with him getting kidna

That description of slendy just seems wrong
He's not suppose to be "scary" it's the mood he makes that horrifies people. And really a Love scene? come on. Just tell him that with a description like that it's just not slenderman.

Well seeing that only two people replied to this in almost 24 hours, I'm going to go ahead and tell him what you guys have said.

Thanks.

Ask your friend if he likes twilight. If he says no, tell him that what they did to vampires he is going to do to slenderman.

Then try to show slenderman stuff for him so he really get the character.

What I did was that I called him a few times, but he never answered. So I decided to write my own Slenderman movie script to show him how I think Slenderman should be. I plan to show it to him next time we meet.

As a side note, if anyone would be willing to read my script and give me suggestions or thoughts, shoot me a PM and I'd really appreciate your opinion.

Welcome to the escapist!

That said, just call him out on his shit and tell him he's honestly just going to get ripped apart by the fan base. If he wants to make a typical hacky slashy movie then do it with something else.

Thanks for the welcome and the advice.

I think the captcha is trying to tell me something.
