Chris Stuckmann is directing a Horror Film (Shelby Oaks)
- Thread starter Star-Lord
- Start date
Good for him. I may have unsubbed a long time ago because I wasn't finding his content interesting, but I'm glad he gets to direct a movie.
Me too, it's been a long time since I watched his reviews, didn't like it much. But I'll support him when the movie comes out. Hoping for a good horror!
yeah you can kind of tell he doesn't like reviewing anymore. his old videos are so much more impassioned. i'm glad he's taking his youtube fame and fortune to pivot into the industry. idk i just wish he was a little less cynical about being a huge youtuber. but i wish him the best. i'll probably skip his movie though, i dont really like horror... but there is going to be a LOT of pressure on him as a film critic to not make a bad movie, lol.
True, he treats it more like a part time job that he must do. He was ok reviewer though.
Who knows. Some people are born naturally talented, others have to work their asses off for it. Unbalanced life is. Maybe he might one of the few who does make it.
I've tried watching his reviews and they're so flat and dry, so I hope he's better at directing.
Good luck to the guy.
While it does sound like your typical "meh" modern horror movie, hopefully he can do something interesting with it.

I wish him the best of luck.
YouTubers generally don't really have the best track record when it comes to film directing though, with the exception of MysteryGuitarMan and Bo Burnham (though he probably shouldn't count). But let's see, he's at least very passionate.

I'm genuinely happy for him. He seems like he deserves it and hopefully his passion actually translates into a good film.
I was watching a breakdown of the ARG marketing for this and it seems super interesting. I love a good bit of found footage, hope they keep that style for the full film.

If he succeeds and lives out his dream, more power to him. If not, he will either be humble and proud he had a shot or be bitter for the rest of his years. That's the sad part about dreams. When it doesn't work out it can break you hard.
Good for him. Now give Jenny Nicholson a Netflix show or a movie... whatever, just given what she wants.
Glad to hear it. He's been working towards this for years, as someone who is hoping to get something made one day, I'm intrigued to see what he gets made.
Ehh, just because you know what you like doesn't mean you know HOW to make a good movie. Totally different disciplines. It's not some failing of him as a critic if he ends up making a bad movie.

I think there's a big difference as James is more tuned into your classic 80's films and his idea was to turn his character into a movie hero while trying to pay homage to the movies he grew up loving (that's how I interpreted that mess of a movie anyway)
im sure his movie has its smaller following of fans but Chris seems to really want to break into directing films of a more serious nature and he's mentioned many times before that it's his dream
I like Chris and I hope he succeeds. The dude is very passionate about film and I'm really interested in how this turns out. Dude is a massive horror fan so maybe he'll be the next Jordan Peele or Ari Aster.
Ain't touching Jenny Nicholson after what she did to John Boyega. She saw some photoshopped fake Instagram comments from some random user who admitted to her that it was all fake and they made him sound like he's calling reylo fans inbreds, and she still ran with it and never apologised.
Then she had the gall to say this about white womanhood tears and black men.
Then did some performative tweet about John during BLM protests and praising him for Star Wars.
Also she was buddies with Max Landis on a podcast.
I think it was some casual homophobia in an old rap video years ago.
I think it was his Get out review. it wasn't racist but it was weird lol. For no reason at all he showed a photo of him near some black people, and talked about how grateful he was for having black friends or something like that. I don't know what his mindset was when he thought such a statement had to be made.
Not being a fan of their reviews from what few I saw years ago, this sure seems like someone i'm not looking forward to having direct a movie.
I think he talked about the photo in his Jehovahs Witness video, as well as on Double Toasted.
Fair enough, I haven't seen of any of it. just at the time a very oddball thing. I don't think it was racist though just awkward.
Ayyyye, good for him! I haven't seen his stuff in a while, but it's really dope to see him get on the dream path he was talking about all the way back.
