Ludwig Göransson breaks down the score of ‘THE ODYSSEY’ in a new featurette.

This included rediscovering instruments from the Bronze Age as well as using bronze itself in the musical process.

A 16-year-old in California taught himself free animation software in his bedroom and made a 9-minute YouTube video. Four years later, A24 built him a maze the size of half a football field and gave him two Oscar nominees to direct.

Backrooms opens in theaters tomorrow. Director Kane Parsons was born in 2005, the same year YouTube launched. He picked up a free program called Blender on his own, uploaded "The Backrooms (Found Footage)" in January 2022, and got 16,500 views in the first week. By the end of that month, the video had over 15 million views.

It all started with a single post on 4chan, an anonymous internet forum, back in May 2019. Someone asked for disquieting images that felt "off." Another anonymous user replied with a grainy photo of an empty room with sickly yellow walls and harsh fluorescent lighting. A third user added the caption: if you're not careful, you can "noclip out of reality" (a video game term for falling through walls) and end up trapped in an endless maze of yellow rooms that smell of damp carpet. For five years nobody could figure out where the photo was taken.

In May 2024, four people on Discord cracked the mystery using a tool called the Wayback Machine, which stores old versions of websites. It came from a 2002 renovation at 807 Oregon Street in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. That exact building had been a furniture store called Rohner's Home Furnishings for most of the 20th century.

From the A24 website: "A strange doorway appears in the basement of a furniture showroom." Parsons traced the lore right back to where the photo came from.

He designed every set in Blender first, then his team physically built the whole maze, all 30,000 square feet of corridors in Vancouver, Canada. They tested 50 shades of yellow before picking the right one, and crew members got lost inside their own set. Filming wrapped in August 2025 under the codename Effigy.

Producers include James Wan (the Saw and Conjuring franchises), Shawn Levy (Stranger Things), and Osgood Perkins (Longlegs). Cast as the leads: Chiwetel Ejiofor (12 Years a Slave) and Renate Reinsve (Sentimental Value). Parsons also co-wrote the music. At 20, he just became A24's youngest director ever.

Backrooms opened at 92% on Rotten Tomatoes. Some critics are already calling it the Blair Witch Project for the internet-horror generation.
