Final week, social media could not assist nearly rubber-necking at Willy’s Chocolate Experience after candid pictures of the Glasgow, Scotland, emerged on-line. The depressing occasion, which charged its attendees £35-a-ticket (roughly $45), was lower quick after annoyed attendees known as the police and demanded full refunds. Whereas mother and father in attendance had been rightfully upset on the occasion not manifesting as marketed, people on-line had been quick at work celebrating the occasion’s actors — who had been given a 15-page AI-generated script — with a cavalcade of hilarious memes and fan art.

On the epicenter of the viral craze was The Unknown, “an evil chocolate maker who lives within the partitions” whose unsettling Physician Doom-esque masks and gangly mirror-holding mannerisms brought on adults to chuckle and frightened youngsters to tears. The social media icon’s bizarre vibe was fascinating sufficient to persuade Kaledonia Photos, a Scotland-based manufacturing firm, to announce it’s engaged on a horror film known as The Unknown.
“The movie, gearing up for manufacturing and a late 2024 launch, follows a famend illustrator and his spouse who’re haunted by the tragic demise of their son, Charlie. Determined to flee their grief, the couple depart the world behind for the distant Scottish Highlands — the place an unknowable evil awaits them,” Kaledonia Photos instructed Bloody Disgusting. “We’re excited to start manufacturing and stay up for sharing extra with you as quickly as potential. We are literally only some miles from the occasion, so it’s fairly surreal to see Glasgow throughout social media, worldwide.”

One can solely hope that the upcoming horror movie will do the precise factor by casting Felicia, the 16-year-old actress behind The Unknown to reprise her function because the web’s new favourite cryptid. Because the disastrous occasion went viral, Felicia has taken to social media to share her bonkers behind-the-scenes Willy experience in addition to a scrapped combat scene between The Unknown and the legally distinct Willy Wonka.
“On the finish of the particular complete script itself, there was presupposed to be a combat scene between The Unknown and Willy Wonka however that acquired scrapped as a result of there was meant to be an enormous hoover that sucked The Unknown up. Clearly there was no hoover,” Felicia mentioned. “One of many organizer instructed us ‘Simply improv it, simply do what you need’ and me and the Willy Wonka had been like ‘How can we do no matter we would like for that?’
“As a result of there was just one Unknown, which was me, I needed to sort of keep in my spot the entire time and could not transfer about and do thfight scenes due to differnt time and all that so it simply wasn’t gonna work.”
Time will inform whether or not Kaledonia Photos will salvage The Unknown’s makeshift climactic finale or depart it on the chopping room flooring when the movie releases later this yr.
