This is our new songContent creator Markiplier has announced (https://deadline.com/2023/04/markiplier-to-star-in-direct-horror-film-iron-lung-from-his-own-script-1235333152/) that he?ll be writing, directing, and starring in a film based on David Szymanski?s short-form horror game, Iron Lung.
Released in 2021, Iron Lung became a surprise hit. Oh, hey, I?m even quoted on the Steam page (https://store.steampowered.com/app/1846170/Iron_Lung/). I absolutely loved it (https://www.destructoid.com/reviews/review-iron-lung-pc-horror-game/), as it was everything short-form horror should be. It was short, inventive, and also horror. It was more atmospheric than scary, so some people told me they found it boring, which hurt my ego. My recommendations are a lot like my children. I send them out in the world without fulling preparing them, and if they don?t succeed immediately, I feel unreasonably disappointed.
In any case, this adaptation of Iron Lung aims to be a theatrical feature. I?m not sure how you turn a 30-45 minute interactive experience into a 90+ minute feature without losing some of the mystique, but here we go. While Markiplier is writing and starring in the film, David Szymanski has been involved and assisting, and that includes helping create the script.

Many of the details surrounding the adaptation are under wraps, but we do know it will co-star Caroline Rose Kaplan. Markiplier is financing the film by himself. While it hasn?t been revealed if the film will follow the plot of the game ? which involved using a submarine to explore an ocean of blood in a universe where all habitable planets abruptly disappeared ? David Szymanski says he ?couldn't be happier with how it's turning out so far.?
I don?t have many strong feelings here. I play things, but I rarely watch them. Therefore, both Markiplier and films as a whole are in my periphery, along with sports and human interaction. There?s no reason an Iron Lung movie couldn?t work, so here?s hoping the team can pull it off.
