Depth Was A Hoax

[Noisecode]

I'm wondering how people got it in there heads and thought 'Depth' (the name of the script) was to be released concurrently at all. Parts of it were filmed last year along with some new stuff this year but there wasn't any evidence at all to support it being a companion film.

People only started assuming that the film was going to be released at the same time as SOMA when the release date on Depth's IMDb page was changed to the 22nd of September 2015. Before that the release date was stated as 2015 (at some point it said June 2015 as a placeholder, then it was changed to 22/09/2015).

Don Thacker, the director, also stated in a September 2014 interview that the film is to be released in 2015:

Bethany: IMDB says you have a second feature film coming out soon.

Don: Yes, it’s tentatively called Depth right now, to be released in 2015. It’s a collusion between my company Imagos Films and the Swedish game company Frictional Games. Motivational Growth put me in a position where I was able to sell my services as a commercial maker and I made a number of commercials for Frictional Games. We really liked working together so together we created an idea for this movie. We have finished principle photography and are moving into post within the next month or so, and it should come out in 2015.

Bethany: Can you give a plot synopsis for it, because there’s not one on IMDB.

Don: That is correct, I can’t. You will see. Parts of the film are going to be used in a story campaign coming up where you’ll get a little bit more than previews. But not yet!

Game, set, and match.

So hopefully this finally extinguishes all the hoax malarkey once and for all.

Also, Don's comments about the story campaign seem to indicate my suspicions that Depth would contain spoilers for the game....hence the delay in release.
