That's clearly the Slenderman.
For those who don't know what the hell the "Slenderman" is, he was created in 2009 here - forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3150591&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=3 - by the member Victor Surge. It's a pure internet creation. I only got to see a "slenderman picture" for the first time a couple of weeks ago.
Of course they aren't mentioning they're getting their movie idea from an internet meme. And such a recent one. I think it's funny.
But it would be great if the movie turned to be as cool as the background music from their website (www.index.thetallmanmovie.com/). I like that. It's catchy.
A big congrats to Martyrs director Pascal Laugier who is finally set to tell his tale of The Tall Man! Even cooler news as Jessica Biel (Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Blade: Trinity) will star in the French director's English-language debut! Tall Man is a suspenseful thriller in the vein of the early films of M. Night Shyamalan. Biel plays a woman who must grapple with and track the mysterious figure of The Tall Man who has kidnapped her child. Laugier, who also wrote the film, says "I like to think of The Tall Man as a sort of Panic Room... outside! It is a 'woman in jeopardy' movie with a lot of twists and a strong female character that you feel very connected to." Tall Man is produced by Clement Miserez, (Radar Films) and Steven Schneider (Room 101, Paranormal Activity, Area 51).
That's clearly the Slenderman.
