I'm no doubt well late on it but this story has been keeping me entertained for the last couple days. The story goes that Shazaam was an early 90s Disney film starring Sinbad as a hapless genie who can't get anything right. Only thing, is such a film never existed. At least not in this dimension/reality.
But thousands are convinced that they've seen it. On Facebook threads I've seen people have long stories about how they went and saw it at such and such a multiplex with their friends Mike and Sarah and then Mike and Sarah are jumping into say they remember it too. It's creating a lot of anger and confusion among people who think they are being intentionally duped.
Pretty crazy stuff. This thread on reddit- one of many- pretty well sums up the confusion. What surprises me is this all surrounds a film that was never even planned. I could imagine this confusion existing around something that had promotional materials and such out there but never got over the top.
