Why is this podcast episode a Hollywood special?
welcome back to creepcast today we are doing would you call this a hollywood special now with how with the recent news it's a bit of a crossover i'd say yeah sure yeah we are reading a uh story from back in the day called i pretended to be a missing girl which coincidentally not coincidentally because we're reading this because of this is uh it's the new movie sydney sweeney is doing when we saw that there was a movie that is uh It's going to be about an r slash no sleep story. We had to read it, and I'm excited. I'm excited to read this and then go see it when it comes out and then see what do they keep, what do they change, all that kind of stuff.
Yeah, I think this is interesting because I actually hadn't heard of this no sleep story before, and it's only four years old, which for most no sleep stories is pretty short. It's pretty recent.
Is it only four years old? It's four years old. We've seen that it was posted on multiple platforms.
r slash websites i think we're reading the version from r slash short stories because i think it's the updated version yes so the author is a guy named joe coat uh on joe coat no sleep or on reddit his name is j coat 12 um he originally wrote the story to r slash no sleep and it was a shorter version that actually had a link at the end that made it seem like the ending of the story was in a newspaper like it was a newspaper clipping which is pretty cool but But then he decided to do a rewrite, add on to the story a bit more, and posted a second version of it in r slash short story. So that's the version we're going to be reading today. But both of those say they were posted four years ago. So as far as like horror stories on Reddit goes, that's pretty recent from what we've seen.
Yeah, no, definitely. Usually, I mean, if you would have told me I guess when I first heard about it, I was thinking of, oh, this is like a 2015, 2016 story. You know, that kind of golden era of people posting in there. So they see that it's only four years old, something like maybe a COVID story. Probably maybe Joe was just, you know, sitting at home, like not doing shit. Maybe that's what inspired something out of this. So pretty curious to see, though. Sidney Sweeney, you know, master of film, as Isaiah said. And the... I really appreciate her ability to find... The Immaculate movie that she... I don't know if she directed it, but I think she produced it and starred in it. Yeah. But just still, kind of weird... odd horror choice here.
So I'm wondering where that hook is going to be in here as well. That maybe makes it kind of visually interesting to translate that to the screen. So I'm hoping that there's some goodies here.
Always cool to me whenever, um, actors like develop a, uh, kind of role of... What's the word I'm looking for? An investment, sort of, in the projects they're working on. Where she's like, this looks good. I'm going to go in as a producer and as an actress. And also, I believe Eric Roth is currently set to do the screenplay for it. And he did... dune i think he was a part of the writing team on dune unless i'm way off so the guy who wrote the dune movie no no the screenplay the screenplay the guy who wrote it is uh no no that's what i'm saying the dune movie i'm saying the guy who wrote the the dune movie the screenplay for the movie is doing the r slash no sleep horror film if that's true that's awesome make sure let me make sure hold on am i talking he did forrest gump
Apparently. Hold on. He did Dune. Wow. He did Dune and Forrest Gump.
Good for you, Sidney. Good for Sidney Sweeney for getting that. That's fucking crazy. I like how the guy's just like, Forrest Gump, Dune, and then now I pretended to be a missing girl. Sidney Sweeney.
r slash classic i hope it's good i'll say this is pretty stacked so far yeah this is this is a fucking this is a killer this is a killer lineup uh i say we just fucking hop in also congratulations to uh joe coat for like writing the story on four years ago to get to this also according to what i've seen online uh he is a high school english teacher
