We're Going to Make Hollywood Shit Themselves.

This is your opportunity to make a lot of rich people really mad.

If you loved Iron Lung, it’s time to help Markiplier and his lovely amazing crew do the funniest thing possible: flip the bird to a film industry that said they didn't want them.

This is a little idealist, but there's enough of us. 38.6 million of us, and we could absolutely slam this. So VOTE:

Best Thriller: Iron Lung

Best Actor: Mark Fischbach

Best Actress: Caroline Kaplan

Best Supporting Actress: Elsie Lovelock

Best Director: Mark Fischbach

Best Producer: Jeff Guerrero & Will Hyde

Best Independent Film: Iron Lung

This could be yet another win for small artists, a win for indie filmmaking, and the ultimate "thank you" to Mark for doing it for the love of the game. He and his team went through hell to make something he deemed perfect enough for us; I mean, he basically built a damn jet engine in his bathroom for this movie simply for quality's sake. This feels like the least we can do in return.

Winners will be announced by the Academy on July 1st, 2026, in Central London.

AI spam bots and scammers are using the tag #iron lung to insert themselves into the main tag during its huge wave of attention. This includes those pesky bots posting "porn" lives, unrelated AI images, fake article "read more" links and assorted phishing BS.

Don't interact with them. Please report and block as soon as you see one. These guys don't deserve the chance to prey on Iron Lung's audience.

Thanks,

So far, the reference contains / will contain:

Simon in various poses, angles, and facial expressions (there will be much more as I make progress. I'm only about 20 minutes into the movie in terms of frame-by-framing)

Detail photos of the SM-13, plus wide-angle and exterior shots

Images of the Tow Ship, side characters (Ava, Jack, David, Simon's mom, etc.), and soon to come, images of all the monsters, such as Simon's Shadow

Close-ups of practical effects, blood & gore (soon to come)

All concept art and BTS footage released by Molly Brown

Screenshots specifically looking for clothing and prop details for cosplayers and prop-makers

All of Simon's x-ray photos in high quality, plus a compilation video of them as a stop-motion animation

Reference images of various items, like the fire extinguisher, charcoal stick, knife holster, map, pendant*, and life jacket* (<- coming soon)

A link to a timestamp chart in-progress containing a beat-by-beat recap of the movie, for easy scene finding. Everybody say "thank you" to @negative-pressure-ventilator for their work.

I plan and hope to get other scrapers on board to help me not drown under the amount of content I have to manually rename, organize and sift through. You guys. I spent an hour manually renaming every single hemorover photo so they sat correctly and in order within the file structure. I'm not fucking around here LOL

I'm also looking to start up a folder archiving everything and anything we can find on Behind The Scenes, so if you have those available, submit them! There's a lot of content I'm trying to stay on top of at the moment.

I'm either going to black out and write 3,000 words or black out and write fuck all.

See you on the other side!
