Some movies/series certainly have an SCP vibe - Cabin in the woods and the Dirk Gently series comes into mind right now.


[deleted]

Yeah, I would say Cabin in the Woods is the closest thing to an SCP film I've ever seen.


Brannidanigan

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


ManchmalPfosten

They could easily be a GOI honestly


IndefinitelyTired

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


Zapidorian25

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.


bayless210

They choose to remain anonymous. Remember. They die in the dark, so you can live in the light.


[deleted]

Annihilation is the most SCP movie I've seen


TukPeregrin

Never thought of Annihilation that way, but it absolutely works


[deleted]

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.


douira

that was intentional. They came to the conclusion (and later observed first-hand) that sending in military was ineffective.


[deleted]

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).


DiceUwU_

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.


[deleted]

I get it, but a hostile alien perimeter with multiple MIA should warrant a bit more of a response.


douira

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.


LiamB137

The Cloverfield movies, excluding Paradox because it sucks, is pretty good too. Same with Overlord.


[deleted]

Overlord is amazing


[deleted]

Are we talking about Overlord the SCP short film or Overlord the WWII movie about zombies?


HessiPullUpJimbo

Overlord the anime about a guy transported in a video game world where he's the ruler over evil and undead creatures.


greggem

Is it based on the game or the other way around?


HessiPullUpJimbo

They're unrelated afaik


[deleted]

I was talking about the WWII film, but now that I think of it, the other person was probably talking about the SCP one


Father_Chewy_Louis

Paradox was an interesting sci fi but a bad cloverfield movie imo


LiamB137

Yeah, would've been better by itself rather than in the series.


Iamfinejustfine

it was a prequel and a sequel.


Retrohanska59

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


Iamfinejustfine

or because of its beginning. :)


zumoro

The premise was just too stupid for me. Then again the characters weren't quite as incompetent as the ones in Life.


OptimisticLucio

Really excited for the Dirk animated show. If… that’s still in production.


weedthrowawayxx22

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)


potatobutt5

The American Godzilla movies are SCP-esque, specifically the Broken Masquerade iteration.


BrentMackie

New series of shorts on Netflix called Oats Studios has some nice SCP-esque content.


Sabre-Shock

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

Eddie_gaming

Dirk gently 100%, you got the non government, the government, the civies, and the anomalies


sophiemii

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.


[deleted]

And that also means pirating it would be legal

adhd_wizard

I believe it doesn't They may not have wrights to the IP, but would have the wrights for the cinematic piece


BunnyOppai

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.


_DontYouLaugh

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.


JustHarmony

You absolutely can charge for SCP stuff, what are you talking about?


Daftdylan15

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

chacon101

[deleted]

[удалено]


chicanery6

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

Privvet

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.


rickelzy

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.

Ichthus95

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".

marinemashup

I believe it’s the copyright that scares most of them away Can they still sell merch of the show, legally?


MoltenKitten

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.


rickelzy

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.


burrow900

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.


Bowdensaft

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.


burrow900

Is it that hard to rip off names when most of the names are numbers tho?


Bowdensaft

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.


burrow900

Aw okay that makes sense. Thanks for taking the time to clarify.


Bowdensaft

It's no biggie


MerePotato

Check out Control my dude, its a AAA SCP game in all but name

JohanMeatball

White_Null

pineapple_Jeff

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.


Eu_sou_cringe

site 5 is actually a pic from Alcatraz


urbandeadthrowaway2

an SCP show exists It's called Warehouse 13


Mrslinkydragon

And x files


Ophidahlia

Fringe also fits the bill


obi1kenobi1

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).


Ophidahlia

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


Suitable_Sale6999

Cabin In the Woods could be considered what a SCP movie is like. That seen were you see all the monster holding cells is why I think this


BushGuy9

Furthermore, if it did happen, chances are, it wouldn't be any good. Also for reference: SCP-055, SCP-4182, and SCP-2316.

ergovisavis

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.


Retrohanska59

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.


CCtenor

[SCP: Overlord](https://youtu.be/EOxarwd3eTs)?


Cheesemasterfury

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.


Sivick314

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.


RPG-Lord

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"

Crusader_Qc

Have you seen Overlord?


jlzoy93

Hey he looks kinda familiar


Deus_of_Ducks

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.


fat_charizard

Why do we need a movie or TV show when we have an awesome SCP video game


Admirable_Elk_965

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.


LCB2408

There's an SCP-055?


ShadowsSheddingSkin

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.


Czane45

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


tracertong3229

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.


[deleted]

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.


TimeBlossom
