The story. The game. The movie?

One of the most haunting gaming experiences of all times, I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream, a psychedelic Sci-Fi thriller inspired by Harlan Ellison's short-story by the same name, has been brought back to life by the relentless Nightdive Studios, and is now available for only $5.99 on GOG.com. This is one of those times in the history of our classic catalog, that really calls for a special celebration! You know how we like to celebrate, right? By giving you something special! This time, we offer you the chance to get a very special I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream original box set, containing the CD edition of the game, a user manual, and--*drumroll*--a mousepad signed by Harlan Ellison, himself!.

We propose a competition. Or two, actually, as we have two such sets to give away at this time. How Night Dive managed to acquire them is quite the mystery, as Mr. Ellison isn't known for being a particularly social person (not unlike many other brilliant writers), but the fact is we have them, and we're quite happy to part with them (that's a lie), as long as they end up in the hands of our creative users (that part's true).

How to get your hands on this gaming treasure, you ask?

So, there was the short story, then there was the game. By the rules of entertainment convergence a movie should have happened at some point, right? Well, somehow it didn't. We want to correct this, at least partially. We want you, to design a movie poster for "Harlan Ellison's I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream: The Motion Picture" (PG-13!). Please include essential info on the poster, like: who's the director? Who's playing who? Who's voicing the sinister AI? You know, stuff like that. The author of the best looking, most creative poster gets one of the box sets.

Don't feel comfortable enough with your photoshop skills? Don't fret! There's still the second box set you can get. All you need to do is to write up a short voiceover for an imaginary trailer that would go with the said movie. Again, including the name of the director and your own cast is a good idea.

Post your entries in the forums, below. We'll choose one best entry in both categories. The submission deadline is Wednesday, September 25, at 10:00AM GMT, which gives you almost a full week to work on your entries. Depending on the number and the quality of entries, we might award some runner-up prices. As usually, the contest is not region-limited. Please make sure to remember about the "PG-13" rating of our imaginary movie. Turn on that creative thinking, and get cracking on your entries. Good luck!

EDIT:
The results ARE IN! Go to this forum post to see who won!

I MIGHT be able to participate. It's too bad for me that this contest came at a rough time for me.

While I can't draw, I do voice work on a weekly basis and I work a call center. I guess I'll play the game and see what I can come up with.
I have to second, third, fourth, or whatever the count is now for liking this type of multi-creativity-styled entry system for contests.

although - i'm stuck wondering, if you do indeed get a lot of submissions, what the heck would we get as one of these "runner-up prices" of which you speak? Instead of the full-fledged prices of $5.99 USD, do we get the runner-up prices of $1.99 USD, and/or $3.99?

i'm confused by this obviously accurately spelled post by GOG.com.

Punished_Snake: I know, it sucks, but I did it with PAINT, because I can't use any image editor, I simply suck XD

Later I will post the "trailer"
That movie would be ok!

adambiser: Nice idea for a contest, but since I don't know much about the game or story, I'll pass this by.
Same problem :(
My poster entry.

You can probably tell that I have no Photoshop skills, but it's okay -- I don't have Photoshop either.

That is utterly terrifying!
Rapping and now drawing? GOG, you're killing me!
Here - PG13. Or maybe you can negotiate just PG?
Also - suitable for German censors : )
EDIT. Added cast

Ben Affleck as AM.

In a world... ruled by DRM... one man will rise up... and hold out a sign which says...

I Have No Mouth And I Must Provide The Voiceover For An Imaginary Trailer.

Also, I Am Fed Through A Tube.

This Sucks.
"as Mr. Ellison isn't known for being a particularly social person (not unlike many other brilliant writers)"

Ehem. What? Do you know about who you are writing about?

Wouldn't Gilbert Gottfried be great as AM? ;^)
actually it was fun to try - though it shows my lack of any creativity...

Two different people in this thread have cast white women in the role of Ellen, and I simply won't stand for it.

Poor Ron Perlman... he was the first that came to my mind too :)
