Of course, there’s one big obstacle to Slender Man’s fortunes, without any film being spent: it’s an urban legend that’s inspired some real life crimes.
What does that say about Slender Man?
In fact, HBO has a documentary, Beware The Slenderman, that premieres on January 23rd, which covers the actual legend, as well as the stabbing it inspired.
Well, it says that Screen Gems, Sony’s genre focused subsidiary, will be looking to keep the film in the micro-budget model that most of its offerings operate within.
