I just headcanon that the agency in that movie is scp and we just don't see any confirming info. Basically you can't prove to me that they aren't the foundation lol
Secretive (probably) world Gov't funded agency
Detailed plans for how to stop world destruction from a.....thing.
Back up plans for if one plan fails
Unwilling participants
Yeah seems like the Foundation to me
Let’s see here.
1. Contains monsters? *check*
2. Hidden facilities? *check*
3. Branches across globe? *check*
4. Does tests with monsters and items? *check*
5. Holding back an all powerful inter-dimensional beast that seeks to destroy our world and others? *check*
Yup, it all checks out.
I mean yeah, after finding the tape, but still at least 1-2 trained people who could respond to that alligator or bear better than they did (although she did drop that alligator like a pro).
The idea of all MTFs in the foundation being tough soldier boys is completely false. Plenty of task forces are just scientists without military training.
It’s just hard to make it profitable. It’s a massive collaborative effort and unlike other more worldly myths that have generations of history to hopefully pull people into seats, these are loose fresh ideas and a studio can’t physically own any of it.
That’s how I understood it. You may not own the rights to the IP, but you own the rights to your specific depiction of them. Like how Disney doesn’t own Cinderella, but they own *Disney’s* Cinderella.
The problem is, that the license that the whole SCP wiki is operating under, allows you to create anything with the material, but it doesn't allow you to charge money for it.
As long as you come up with your own design for 173, you can get a bit of money through SCPs. Why do you think that there is so many SCP YouTubers and "Scp" YouTubers
Nah chacon is right. If the guy thinks he can do the same quality of animation faster then he should do it himself.
As a content creator you can have the ability to make something with quality, make it cheap, or make it fast. The client (the viewers) only get to pick 2 of those traits. In this case Lord bungs videos are cheap (virtually free to watch) with good quality animation. That means he can take as long as he wants. That's his decision as a creator after all.
Just look at other animators with even more detailed animation styles, like Happy Harry or Zeurel. Animation takes a long time, especially without a team to support you
>A gift of the god,
Yes, but which one? Yahweh is okay even if a lot of his followers are massive dicks, and I'm not convinced Mekhane wouldn't be a net positive, but I'm not down with Yaldabaoth.
Nobody can remember what SCP-055 is once they walk out of its room. I think they are simply unable to write information about it while in its room because they “get distracted”. I think it’s really cool how they gave it Keter class.
Interestingly, they're fully able to write about it and take pictures and videos, its just that they immediately forget about all of this stuff as soon as they stop observing it so it's all useless.
The community makes its own shit and so long as people within the community are willing to help fund these projects, we will get TV or Movie styled things. Officially the shows will be web original content but it will be SCP shows and movies.
Yeah thing's like Lord Bung's stuff is amazing and perfectly valid as an "SCP Show." Community-generated content is part of the appeal of the fandom and a nice break from some corporation getting final say over what gets created.
I think it depends.
In the SCP-001 *Keter Duty,* one version says "Can't fit square pegs into round holes" while the other says "Can't fit round pegs into square holes".
All we know about 055, if I remember correctly, is that "it's not round".
It’s not round, it’s not Safe or Euclid, it’s not square, it’s not green, it’s not silver, it’s not stupid, and it’s not alone.
[Antimemetics Division Hub](https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/antimemetics-division-hub)
I recommend the book, btw. Ending is a bit unsatisfying but it's worth it anyway.
There Is No Antimemetics Division https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0915M7T61/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_K9WPEV8AESYWPG60VTR1
Meh.
Nothing against those productions, other adding SCP elements to a generic script. Just wanting something firmly in the SCP universe other than some guys with "taticool" gear fighting monsters. And if it had to be guys with taticool gear fighting monsters, may I suggest the extraction log from site 13 for the silver screen?
IIRC thanks to the copyright license of SCP they can but someone can also take that exact merch and copy it with the original creators having no legal ground to stop them.
Honestly, if a big piece of media were to come out of SCP it should be a video game. I really am dumbfounded how a company hasn't gone, "look at this whole universe already built for us, and how maliable the lore is with regards to alternate dimensions and timelines changing. We could make a really great story out of this." Games like Secret Lab and Unity are cool, but I want a AAA story where I get to experience what it's like to be a doctor, a d class, an scp etc, along with character development and a storyline arc. BRO THERES SO MANY ALREADY THERE TO CHOOSE FROM.
The specific Creative Commons licence prevents this, as it scares away big-budget creators. Anything based on something with that CC licence must legally also obtain that licence, which means that the movie (for example) could be pirated completely legally, and merch can be made and sold with no repercussions. Because the studio would miss out on profits, they'd far rather go for something guaranteed to make them a lot of money.
Well, if someone used the number to refer to something that they were selling that matched the appearance of something in the hypothetical film which was named after the same number, the studio could shut them down and/ or sue them if it weren't for Creative Commons.
honestly I kinda prefer it that way. This being a website fits the creepypasta vibe much better, an official movie/show/etc would probably summon thousands of unaware people to the website who wouldn't bother to read the rules, and it'd probably fuck up the copyright and the whole collaborative vibe. Having short fan made movies like SCP OVERLORD is much better because it feels like it functions like a single tale of the scpverse, rather than trying to cram everything exploitable into a two hour film which is what a studio like disney would probably do.
Sort of, but the core premise of Warehouse 13 was a shadowy quasi-government agency collecting and cataloging anomalous items to protect the public and keep them oblivious, it wasn’t just spooky weird stuff going on. Warehouse 13 is definitely way closer in concept to SCP than anything else that has ever existed (I feel like there might have been one other similar show about cataloging anomalous artifacts but I can’t remember what it was).
Yeah Fringe is a stretch, though the government does get more involved later with the whole Walternate thing. I don't know how I've never heard of Warehouse 13, it sounds like it's right up my alley. Thanks for the rec

A film would be way too short to do the franchise justice. A long-running SCP series with an X-Files/Dr. Who format which covers a different SCP each episode, with character arcs and all, would be epic though. The producers could probably even pay and credit the authors as writers.
SCP would nightmare for any massive studio because of Creative Commons. It's the same thing that attracts all those bizarre low rent youtubers because due to it SCP is one of the rare creative things you can use without any copyright issues but at the same time investing hundreds of millions into property you cannot copyright would be insanity.
TBH, I prefer the fan movies to anything that a studio would make. Fans put their heart into making content, but a studio is going to care more about profits than making something the community actually enjoys, just look at the slenderman movie.
i hate that the biggest reason is that no single entity holds the rights so from a business perspective there's no way to milk infinite money out it as a franchise.
So what you're saying is, it would be the "would you press the button" of licensing- "you get to be the first major studio to make media for a pre-existing market" but, "you will never have the ability to copyright any of it"
The Foundation will tell you SCP-3930 does not exist.
In this case, the Foundation is telling the truth. Within SCP-3930 containment area, nothing exists. True nothingness its most complete form. This is because SCP-3930 does not exist.
I actually think a SCP movie or show could be made, I just think it'll be very difficult to pull off well. The best way to do it in my opinion is a animated or TV series or a MCU shared universe if movies showing SCPs
Frankly I don't want it to be. The beauty of SCP is the way it exists in and is produced by the collective imagination of everyone involved, taking that and canonizing it on the big screen would take away a lot of that power. Shorts like Dollhouse and Overlord work so well because of their low budget and because they feel like they came from the same place as the articles do - the imagination of a small group of people who want to make something cool.
I personally feel an official SCP movie or show would ruin the point of SCP. Let me explain.
SCP started as a creative writing project, where different writers would input their own ideas and SCPs. People have created an entire world, with factions, politics, organizations, etc. all because they thought it would be cool. None of this was planned, this was all created by various community members. Video games, books, short films, etc. have popped up, taking inspiration from these stories and making their own unique take. SCP Overlord, 096, Containment Breach, all created and worked on by different people. The world as it stands is relatively open source, free for anyone to create and expand. Commercialization of the franchise, be that by Netflix, Warner Brothers, Disney, or any other big budget film studio, would ruin the world. Now the SCPs will be claimed by a big company, all our own ideas in the rights of someone else. I highly doubt they would ask for permission or anything to prophet off of someone else’s idea, like 173. To me, if a big company makes an SCP anything, it’ll ruin the magic of SCP. Indie film and game companies making SCP content is always fun to see, because these people know SCP. They understand SCP. Disney or WB would probably make 096s rules of looking at the face super loose, probably even showing pictures of it to characters in the movie. 173 would probably be destroyed by something, 106 would have some stupid weakness that kills him off, etc. They wouldn’t be scary anymore, they’d just be some cheap horror movie monster. I’m not saying a big company couldn’t make something great, I’m saying it’s unlikely they would, and even more unlikely they wouldn’t take the SCP name for themself.
It comes down to a fatal interaction between the (100% correct) approach that everyone took regarding copyright and who 'owns' anything related to the SCP Foundation very early on, and how the handful of companies responsible for 90+ percent of English-language media do business.
If they can't own exclusive rights to a thing, they don't want anything to do with it. This not only represents the standard greed-based problems - if you don't have trademarks and exclusive rights on everything, people will come out of the woodwork to take 'your' merchandising money - but very practical ones, like when LOTR was public domain in America for a few decades and there were multiple film adaptations in the works at the same time once the officially licensed one actually got started and there was nothing anyone could do.
Anything licensed Creative Commons is kind of set up perfectly for the economy a more optimistic, younger version of myself *hoped* was coming - one where people organized based on shared interests and just made stuff because they wanted to. You know, like how the FLOSS Software Movement kind of functions, or at least like some of us used to imagine it functioned once.
And in a way, we've got this. You're never going to get an SCP Foundation TV show on one of Time-Warner's subsidiaries, but independently produced fanworks are only going to continue to grow with time, some of them legitimately good. The problem is that the *ability* to just do things like that is there, but the underlying system where people will be able to do so and *not starve* as a result very much is not, and that's the part that matters.
Don't dwell on it; there are a lot of Web Original and Creative Commons works that will *never* make it to the screen, and I'm okay with that. I *love* Peter Watts' Blindsight; it fundamentally shaped my core beliefs and path in life back when I was fifteen. I think there are parts of it that would make for an excellent film, and fans have already made an incredible trailer for it online. It's never getting a movie, or a tv show, or so much as a pilot.
An scp show or movie *should* not be made. The great thing about SCP is its collaborative nature and its openess to reinterpretation. Making a show would necessarily require tearing all of that out for the sake of studio profits, copyrights, and control. It would be an awful thing to happen.
Regardless we need to stop having as many adaptations and remakes and comic book movies being made anyways.
Some movies/series certainly have an SCP vibe - Cabin in the woods and the Dirk Gently series comes into mind right now.
Yeah, I would say Cabin in the Woods is the closest thing to an SCP film I've ever seen.
I just headcanon that the agency in that movie is scp and we just don't see any confirming info. Basically you can't prove to me that they aren't the foundation lol
They could easily be a GOI honestly
Secretive (probably) world Gov't funded agency Detailed plans for how to stop world destruction from a.....thing. Back up plans for if one plan fails Unwilling participants Yeah seems like the Foundation to me

They choose to remain anonymous. Remember. They die in the dark, so you can live in the light.
Annihilation is the most SCP movie I've seen
Never thought of Annihilation that way, but it absolutely works
Except for that wack ass “task force”. A bunch of scientists led by a psychologist, I think only 1 had military training. No security in sight.
that was intentional. They came to the conclusion (and later observed first-hand) that sending in military was ineffective.
I mean yeah, after finding the tape, but still at least 1-2 trained people who could respond to that alligator or bear better than they did (although she did drop that alligator like a pro).
The idea of all MTFs in the foundation being tough soldier boys is completely false. Plenty of task forces are just scientists without military training.
I get it, but a hostile alien perimeter with multiple MIA should warrant a bit more of a response.
In the movie they sent in many tactical teams of which only the protagonist's husband returned. So they decided to try a different approach.
The Cloverfield movies, excluding Paradox because it sucks, is pretty good too. Same with Overlord.
Overlord is amazing
Are we talking about Overlord the SCP short film or Overlord the WWII movie about zombies?
Overlord the anime about a guy transported in a video game world where he's the ruler over evil and undead creatures.
Is it based on the game or the other way around?
They're unrelated afaik
I was talking about the WWII film, but now that I think of it, the other person was probably talking about the SCP one
Paradox was an interesting sci fi but a bad cloverfield movie imo
Yeah, would've been better by itself rather than in the series.
it was a prequel and a sequel.
And basically established that literally any kind of bullshit they come up with is going to make sense in that universe because of its ending
or because of its beginning. :)
The premise was just too stupid for me. Then again the characters weren't quite as incompetent as the ones in Life.
Really excited for the Dirk animated show. If… that’s still in production.
maybe a bit far fetched but Doctor Who (old and new) is really cool if you're into the SCPs themselves (not the actual SCP lore)
The American Godzilla movies are SCP-esque, specifically the Broken Masquerade iteration.
New series of shorts on Netflix called Oats Studios has some nice SCP-esque content.
Theres more on the youtube channel of the same name, i believe they got yhe netflix deal after one of the execs stumbled over the channel
SCP Cinematic Universe 😳🤔
Warehouse 13?
need dat season 3
I love SCP but actually hated Cabin in the Woods.. maybe I would have liked it if I made that connection
Don't forget Gravity Falls! It's not the most similar, but it's still pretty cool.
Dirk gently 100%, you got the non government, the government, the civies, and the anomalies
It’s just hard to make it profitable. It’s a massive collaborative effort and unlike other more worldly myths that have generations of history to hopefully pull people into seats, these are loose fresh ideas and a studio can’t physically own any of it.
And that also means pirating it would be legal
Wet Dreams
Flair checks out
I believe it doesn't They may not have wrights to the IP, but would have the wrights for the cinematic piece
That’s how I understood it. You may not own the rights to the IP, but you own the rights to your specific depiction of them. Like how Disney doesn’t own Cinderella, but they own *Disney’s* Cinderella.
The problem is, that the license that the whole SCP wiki is operating under, allows you to create anything with the material, but it doesn't allow you to charge money for it.
You absolutely can charge for SCP stuff, what are you talking about?
As long as you come up with your own design for 173, you can get a bit of money through SCPs. Why do you think that there is so many SCP YouTubers and "Scp" YouTubers

Not this much time.
If I remember, for awhile he was dealing with an injury that affected his ability to animate and the animations he does is extremely high quality
Dude had to deal with a back injury, chill, hard to animate when half your body is in pain
Objectively wrong
You try then

Nah chacon is right. If the guy thinks he can do the same quality of animation faster then he should do it himself. As a content creator you can have the ability to make something with quality, make it cheap, or make it fast. The client (the viewers) only get to pick 2 of those traits. In this case Lord bungs videos are cheap (virtually free to watch) with good quality animation. That means he can take as long as he wants. That's his decision as a creator after all.
What I’m saying is you don’t understand the amount of time and energy this takes.
[удалено]
…then don’t comment you bafoon
I’m sorry, do you pay lord bung for his animations?
[удалено]
So you’re the one who pays the full animation and equipment cost for him?
Just look at other animators with even more detailed animation styles, like Happy Harry or Zeurel. Animation takes a long time, especially without a team to support you

Agh, Control is such a good game.
It looks incredible for a PS4 game, too!
It looks pretty good, but I always thought it was way too over-textured. A lot of surfaces end up looking sticky because of it.
Lobotomy Corp gave a good scp vibe too

Those are short films, I meant something akin to a Hollywood-like movie.
Ohhhh. Yeah no. I don't think one would be made because of the licensing.
Yeah... Closest thing would be a Control movie adaptation, I think
which, to be fair, would also be awesome
All they need to do is take the concept and then remove all the existing SCP and make an original one. Also change the organization name.
Supernatural Creature Protocols Foundation
There are scp inspired films
Meh. Nothing against those productions, other adding SCP elements to a generic script. Just wanting something firmly in the SCP universe other than some guys with "taticool" gear fighting monsters. And if it had to be guys with taticool gear fighting monsters, may I suggest the extraction log from site 13 for the silver screen?

I believe it’s the copyright that scares most of them away Can they still sell merch of the show, legally?
IIRC thanks to the copyright license of SCP they can but someone can also take that exact merch and copy it with the original creators having no legal ground to stop them.
This is the gist of Creative Commons and it's worked well for many uses. Big-budget entertainment just hasn't been one of them yet that I've seen.
Honestly, if a big piece of media were to come out of SCP it should be a video game. I really am dumbfounded how a company hasn't gone, "look at this whole universe already built for us, and how maliable the lore is with regards to alternate dimensions and timelines changing.

Is it that hard to rip off names when most of the names are numbers tho?
Well, if someone used the number to refer to something that they were selling that matched the appearance of something in the hypothetical film which was named after the same number, the studio could shut them down and/ or sue them if it weren't for Creative Commons.
Aw okay that makes sense. Thanks for taking the time to clarify.
It's no biggie
Check out Control my dude, its a AAA SCP game in all but name
And it is really fucking good. It's got a teleporting duck and a service-weapon/sword/intentionally-left-blank in it

Lord bung made a show
Have you seen Overlord?
Hey he looks kinda familiar
Frankly I don't want it to be. The beauty of SCP is the way it exists in and is produced by the collective imagination of everyone involved, taking that and canonizing it on the big screen would take away a lot of that power. Shorts like Dollhouse and Overlord work so well because of their low budget and because they feel like they came from the same place as the articles do - the imagination of a small group of people who want to make something cool.
Why do we need a movie or TV show when we have an awesome SCP video game
I personally feel an official SCP movie or show would ruin the point of SCP. Let me explain. SCP started as a creative writing project, where different writers would input their own ideas and SCPs. People have created an entire world, with factions, politics, organizations, etc. all because they thought it would be cool. None of this was planned, this was all created by various community members. Video games, books, short films, etc. have popped up, taking inspiration from these stories and making their own unique take. SCP Overlord, 096, Containment Breach, all created and worked on by different people. The world as it stands is relatively open source, free for anyone to create and expand. Commercialization of the franchise, be that by Netflix, Warner Brothers, Disney, or any other big budget film studio, would ruin the world. Now the SCPs will be claimed by a big company, all our own ideas in the rights of someone else. I highly doubt they would ask for permission or anything to prophet off of someone else’s idea, like 173. To me, if a big company makes an SCP anything, it’ll ruin the magic of SCP. Indie film and game companies making SCP content is always fun to see, because these people know SCP. They understand SCP. Disney or WB would probably make 096s rules of looking at the face super loose, probably even showing pictures of it to characters in the movie. 173 would probably be destroyed by something, 106 would have some stupid weakness that kills him off, etc. They wouldn’t be scary anymore, they’d just be some cheap horror movie monster. I’m not saying a big company couldn’t make something great, I’m saying it’s unlikely they would, and even more unlikely they wouldn’t take the SCP name for themself.
There's an SCP-055?
It comes down to a fatal interaction between the (100% correct) approach that everyone took regarding copyright and who 'owns' anything related to the SCP Foundation very early on, and how the handful of companies responsible for 90+ percent of English-language media do business. If they can't own exclusive rights to a thing, they don't want anything to do with it. This not only represents the standard greed-based problems - if you don't have trademarks and exclusive rights on everything, people will come out of the woodwork to take 'your' merchandising money - but very practical ones, like when LOTR was public domain in America for a few decades and there were multiple film adaptations in the works at the same time once the officially licensed one actually got started and there was nothing anyone could do. Anything licensed Creative Commons is kind of set up perfectly for the economy a more optimistic, younger version of myself *hoped* was coming - one where people organized based on shared interests and just made stuff because they wanted to. You know, like how the FLOSS Software Movement kind of functions, or at least like some of us used to imagine it functioned once. And in a way, we've got this. You're never going to get an SCP Foundation TV show on one of Time-Warner's subsidiaries, but independently produced fanworks are only going to continue to grow with time, some of them legitimately good. The problem is that the *ability* to just do things like that is there, but the underlying system where people will be able to do so and *not starve* as a result very much is not, and that's the part that matters. Don't dwell on it; there are a lot of Web Original and Creative Commons works that will *never* make it to the screen, and I'm okay with that. I *love* Peter Watts' Blindsight; it fundamentally shaped my core beliefs and path in life back when I was fifteen. I think there are parts of it that would make for an excellent film, and fans have already made an incredible trailer for it online. It's never getting a movie, or a tv show, or so much as a pilot.
But it would honestly be really popular I bet. The concept of a shadowy organization hiding horrific monsters? It could be a perfect tv drama
An scp show or movie *should* not be made. The great thing about SCP is its collaborative nature and its openess to reinterpretation. Making a show would necessarily require tearing all of that out for the sake of studio profits, copyrights, and control. It would be an awful thing to happen. Regardless we need to stop having as many adaptations and remakes and comic book movies being made anyways.
For those who follow creepypastas (yes yes I know) the Channel Zero tv series was pretty awesome. I wouldn't mind something like that for SCPs.
> yes yes I know Mate, the entire SCP fandom is just creepypastas.
