🎬 Behind the Poster 🎬
In the dusty backroom of an old movie theater, tucked behind layers of forgotten reels and broken seats, 12-year-old Matt found something that would change his life forever: a rolled-up movie poster with no title, no stars, no studio logo—just a figure standing at the edge of a cliff under a thunderous sky, holding a sword that shimmered like lightning.
It wasn’t like any poster he’d ever seen. There was something… alive about it.
That night, Matt taped it to his bedroom wall. At exactly midnight, the sword on the poster glowed.
The wind in the image began to move. The clouds rolled. And then the figure turned—actually turned—looked at Matt, and whispered,
“Ready for your scene?”
Before he could speak, Matt was sucked into the poster like ink into paper.
He landed in a world lit like a movie set, with dramatic lighting and a symphonic soundtrack that followed his every step. It wasn’t a dream. It was his movie, his adventure—and the poster had been the trailer to a destiny written for him.
He met a band of misfit rebels, faced a villain made of smoke and shadows, and discovered that the sword was meant for him all along.
Back in the real world, Matt’s room sat silent.
The poster was gone.
In its place, a brand new one had appeared: a movie-style print, shimmering with bold letters:
“MATT: THE LOST SCENE”
