Zoom (2011 film)

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Looks a hoax.  Mike  Allen   08:19, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

Keep There is a link at the bottom that is from IMDB, so if it is listed there then it is likely gonna exist. But then the plot appears to be badly written:"A family moved to New York in a ranch a 10 minutes to New York, and the family installed in a house who has a secret very special, HAD GHOSTS and the son grabs the found footage." The plot sounds kind of confusing again so it could be re-written. trainfan01 6:04, July 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * The IMDB link is to a completely different film, although the article claims it is to this film. JamesBWatson (talk) 10:58, 26 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete - lack of reliable sources that establish the film's existence, let alone notability. IMDB is not a reliable source. Are You The Cow Of Pain? (talk) 15:08, 25 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete per nominator and Are You The Cow Of Pain. No evidence that this is real.  Presently, that IMDb link goes to their page for the Untitled Cloverfield Sequel, which is listed as "Announced".  Cliff smith  talk  16:13, 25 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete as a hoax. Apart from the near-impossibility that a Wes Craven/Michael Bay film alleged to be released next year not generating some coverage online, there are a few more obvious problems. The text of the Production and Marketing sections is taken from the Cloverfield article with a few changes. For example, "Before the film's release, Paramount Pictures carried out a viral marketing campaign to promote the film which included viral tie-ins similar to Cloverfield." from this article is just a reworking of the sentence "Before the film's release, Paramount Pictures carried out a viral marketing campaign to promote the film which included viral tie-ins similar to Lost Experience." from the Cloverfield article's Marketing section. Or how about "According to Reeves, "It's an incredibly provocative image. And that was the source that inspired producer J. J. Abrams to say, 'Now this would be an interesting idea for a movie'." from the Cloverfield article and "According to Craven, "It's an incredibly provocative image. And that was the source that inspired producer Michael Bay to say, 'Now this would be an interesting idea for a movie'." from this article. I'll go one further here and say that this is a clear (and blatant) hoax creation, given the prose style of the plot section and that he created a now-deleted Zoom 3D article a couple of months ago (and has used Zoomis as the name for one of his socks in January.)

 * Delete per all of Flowerpotman's points, and not only that, nobody's about to use the the title of a 2006 bomb of the same name; simply, you don't curse your film with the name of one that did terribly before.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 07:24, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
