After Five Nights at Freddy’s success on the big screen, it only makes sense that Hollywood studios are scrambling to find the next hit which may convince Generation Alpha to leave their computers and phones for a bit and visit the nearest cinema. However, trying to make a franchise out of the brain-rotting viral Internet sensation Skibidi Toilet might be a bit too much.
Variety shared an exclusive interview with filmmaker Michael Bay and Paramount Pictures president Adam Goodman on July 24. The main subject of the conversation? They’re seriously looking at Skibidi Toilet as something with movie and TV potential.
If you aren’t a teenager, chances are you don’t know what the hell we’re blabbering about here, so let us give you a quick rundown of Skibidi Toilet lore: In a general sense, Skibidi Toilet is a machinima web series of YouTube videos and shorts that have been created by Alexey Gerasimov and uploaded to the channel DaFuq!?Boom!. These were produced using Valve’s handy Source Filmmaker, and while the series started as kind of a joke, it’s somehow evolved into a story that presents a fictional war between human-headed toilets and humanoid characters with electronic devices for heads.
