Los Angeles, CA \u2013<\/strong> Chris Evans, celebrated for his roles as Captain America and countless other chisel-jawed protagonists, has spoken candidly for the first time about his most pivotal role: the lead in 2021\u2019s “Totally Original Guy,” a film which he claims \u201cpushed the boundaries of cinematic nonexistence\u201d after vanishing from theaters within 43 minutes of release.<\/p>\n

During a roundtable discussion hosted by the American Cinematic Remembrance Board (ACRB), Evans described the project as \u201ca radical departure from imitation,\u201d in which he portrayed an unnamed, unreferenced, inherently original man. \u201cWe wanted to break the cycle,\u201d Evans said. \u201cNo superpowers. No spies. No backstory. Just a guy who\u2019s never been seen before in real life or fiction, ever.\u201d Studio records indicate “Totally Original Guy” was financed on a budget of $120 million and directed by noted shadow puppeteer Kendra Gaspar, who has since moved to Latvia.<\/p>\n

Despite being printed on reels composed of molecularly unique film stock, “Totally Original Guy” suffered what distribution analysts are now calling a \u201cComplete Hyperfade Event\u201d after premiering at the Glendale Mall 16 & Dairy Bar. Ticket-holders report that, midway through Evans\u2019 first monologue\u2014concerning his favorite way to distinguish between spoons and small shovels\u2014the screen went blank, the projection booth evaporated, and all promotional material disintegrated into untraceable confetti. The ACRB has since opened an archive containing one nearly unrecognizable still frame depicting Evans apparently tending to an invisible houseplant.<\/p>\n

Initial reactions from critics were unpublishable due to the sudden onset of \u201creviewer aphasia,\u201d a condition first documented by Dr. Milton Grebe, head of the Institute for Unrememberable Cinema. According to Grebe, 97% of viewers could not recall whether they had watched the film, and the remaining 3% believed they had watched themselves watching it. In response, the studio\u2019s legal team issued cease-and-desist letters to any journalist attempting to describe the plot, characters, or presence of sound, citing contractual protection of \u201ccomplete originality rights.\u201d<\/p>\n

Evans remains proud. \u201cThere aren\u2019t many actors who can say they played a man utterly unimpacted by plot or precedent,\u201d he reflected. Warner-Fox-Discovery-Paramount continues to deny reports that the film\u2019s tax write-off application was submitted using invisible ink. As of press time, all efforts to rewatch, remember, or re-release “Totally Original Guy” have resulted in faintly echoing laughter and the spontaneous fading of exit signs from select multiplexes nationwide.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
