Markiplier makes his directorial debut

Markiplier previously released a trailer for the film, which you can see above. The teaser highlights the film’s claustrophobic location, which appears, like the game, to take place in a dark undersea. In the video game, players are threatened by changes in oxygen and pressure levels, trying to navigate the waters using only the underwater camera and a map. It’s a game Markiplier even played on his YouTube channel, and he thanks fans in his new video for how they embraced the recent teaser. He was also happy that news of the movie spread far beyond his fans and into the mainstream media.

“There were articles written about this trailer, the fact that I was making this movie,” Markiplier says.

While the video game hints at the subject of the film, Markiplier is yet to reveal plot details. He admits he was amused by the women of the “wild guesses” some people had about what the adaptation would be. That said, he also says he even surprised himself at what he had in mind when crafting the script.

“I can tell you that even in my wildest imagination of what it would be, as I was writing it, it’s so much more,” he said.
