For those who for whatever reason don’t know (foreign maybe?), “seven minutes in heaven” is a game junior high kids will play where a guy and girl (or the gay way) are randomly selected and forced to make out in a closet for seven minutes.
I played the game once in high school and it was an awful experience. I was at a party and some assholes shoved me into the closet with a female friend of mine. I knew she had a crush on me, but there was this other girl I liked… anyway we started making out, as is the point of the game, then I got overly excited and accidentally clawed up her back really bad. Then later on my dad revealed to me that I was a werewolf – oh wait. That’s Teen Wolf. Sorry. I’ve never played “seven minutes in heaven.” But in a year or so I might get to see another movie about it!
Heat Vision is reporting that JJ Abrams’s company Bad Robot is developing a thriller based on the aforementioned teenage party game – currently titled 7 Minutes In Heaven – from an idea by regular Lost director Jack Bender. Bad Robot is looking for a writer for the project; all that is currently known about the “story” is that it involves two teens entering a closet to play the game, and when they exit seven minutes later… all their friends are dead! Dun dun dunnn! Then Walt shows back up and Hurley says “dude” a few times.
This is a pretty stupid idea for a movie. Though it’s so stupid that I think I kinda like it. Regardless of how this film turns out (if it even makes it past the script stage – I wouldn’t be surprised if all Bender pitched them was the set up) I do like that Abrams is consistently fostering weirdo films. If 7 Minutes in Heaven does make it all the way to production, as long as the kids in it are at least 75% more likable than the hipster wastoids from Cloverfield, I’m sure I can be suckered into seeing it. But so help me, if I get some more annoying hipsters, I’ll start raging out, like back in college when I joined the boxing team, and then I found out I was a werewolf… wait. Teen Wolf Too. Sorry.

It's impressive how nerds can give the impression of having lived a real and interesting life by calling back to our memories that are actually old movies. You may be onto something, Joshua.
What is with the naruto fan art? So fucking ironic especially considering how incredibly dismissive devin is of anime in general. God so funny I'm sure you could have found any other picture
I can't decide if the title of this article is telling me to be afraid of making out with J.J. Abrams in a closet, to be afraid (with J.J. Abrams) of making out in a closet, or that J.J. Abrams is making out in a closet with fear itself.
Either way, we all win.
It's a wrestling team in Teen Wolf Too, jackass.
Dumb, pehaps. But as the first 15 min of a horror flick? It has all the potential a creative mind has to offer.
@#1: The Simpsons and Scrooged beat him by about 20 years. Or did I dream those?
@#4. Nope. It's a boxing team in Teen Wolf Too, dipshit.
No, it's boxing. Jackass.
This IS a stupid idea for a movie, which is why it fits JJ Abrams and his shit sensibilities perfectly.
Another winner for BaD rOBOT!
#4: It's boxing, jackass.
#4 Ass boxing, it's jackshit.
Why is it you Chuddies continue to mistakenly call the cast of Cloverfield hipsters, yet you have a shit fit when someone dares same the same thing about your precious Scott Pilgrim? Also, whining about characters being unlikable is lazy and shows more of a problem with you than the film.
