Comment: There's some good sources in here (Such as the Variety one) but there are some uncited statements, sourcing to random Twitter accounts, a citation to Sportskeeda (An unreliable source) and many primary citations. There is additionally no Reception for the film, and what exists in most sections of the article hinges primarily on Variety. I feel with a few more similarly strong sources this has legs to stand on, but right now this needs work. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 17:33, 4 November 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: Although it is in a better state than earlier, it still fails NFILM because most sources are either unreliable or a failure of SIGCOV. JML1148 (Talk | Contribs) 21:30, 25 December 2022 (UTC)

In Space with Markiplier is a 2022 two-part interactive comedy-science-fiction film written and directed by Mark Fischbach, better known by his online pseudonym Markiplier. The film stars Fischbach, as well as Steve Taylor, Mick Lauer, Lio Tipton, Linda Bradshaw and Pamela Horton in major roles, with several other content creators having cameo roles.
The film is a spiritual successor to Fischbach's 2019 film A Heist with Markiplier, and follows Mark, the head engineer, handing over the command of Invincible II to the Captain (the audience's lens), but catastrophe soon strikes.[1] Like Heist, it is split into several short videos, where each video has multiple end cards that will direct viewers to different timelines. Unlike his previous films, which branched into a variety of endings, both parts of In Space with Markiplier have fixed narrative endings as well as scenes the viewer is guaranteed to see, allowing for a cohesive narrative that spans across all possible paths.

Production
[edit]Development
[edit]Fischbach teased the idea of a sequel to A Heist with Markiplier in a December 2019 interview. He said, "If I do it again, and I might, I would wanna do it in an even better way than I did this time. And I have no idea what that means, and I have no idea how to say that, but, you know, if I did it again I would wanna surpass what I've already made."[2] Development began on a potential continuation. In June 2020, YouTube Originals announced their ordering of a second interactive special to be written by Fischbach and produced by Rooster Teeth.[3]
In January 2021, it was announced that YouTube Originals would be reducing its slate of upcoming content. As In Space with Markiplier was already contracted and ordered, its production was not affected.[4]
Filming
[edit]Similar to Heist, the film was produced by Rooster Teeth in Austin, Texas.[3] Burning Tractor provided visual effects, with owner Wes Meyers working as visual effects supervisor. "TBD Post" provided post-production. Both companies were involved in these same roles in Heist.
Marketing
[edit]On September 3, 2021, the first animated teaser was uploaded to Mark's YouTube channel, revealing the film's official title. On December 11, 2021, a second teaser was unveiled at the 11th Streamy Awards.[5] On March 4, 2022, the official trailer was released, announcing the release date of April 4, 2022, set to coincide with the 10 year anniversary of Fischbach's first YouTube video.[6] Prior to the initial release, much of the nature of the series was not revealed, including its two-part structure. In addition to online promotional material, the film was advertised by billboards in several locations in the United States,[7][8][9] some of which mirrored promotional materials for prior YouTube Originals.[10]
Reception
[edit]An estimated five hours after launch on October 30, 2019[11], Part One had 1.4 million views.[12] As of April 30th, 2023 Part One sits around 20 million views[13] while Part Two has 7.1 million.[14]
The series also received coverage from Variety, who noted the film's popularity in contrast to YouTube shifting its focus away from original programming.[15]. It was nominated in the 1st Children's and Family Emmy Awards for Outstanding Interactive Media.[16]
