Linus is in a movie

r/LinusTechTips - Linus is in a movie

Look up war of the worlds on Prime video (It's a pretty bad movie from the reviews)but Linus is listed as a supporting actor

Yes, this was the movie I was supposed to be in. I found out about a week ago that it was finally coming out and that my role had unfortunately been cut.

I still haven't watched it. Was thinking of making a video about the experience, which as pretty cool.

You were supposed to be Burnout right?

13

Yes. I have no idea how similar the final movie is to the lines I read. I'm not sure yet if my part was recast or if my role (as it existed) was written out.

Haven't watched it yet.

I take it the video will be a floatplane exclusive, due to copyright

I hope either the studio releases your scene, or someone leaks it

Just skimmed the movie 10 seconds at a time, and it's a voiceover he does over a faceless avatar. But the voice is changed so you can't even tell it's him anyway.

Edit: A few minutes later you do see Burnout's face and it's not Linus, so either TheMovieDB is wrong or they only used Linus for the voice.

Is he uncredited when he's in the credits?

Am I tripping or didn’t he say a long time ago that he was going to be in a movie but couldn’t talk about it?

Yes! They said it way back on the Wan Show

Wasn’t it mentioned in the Movie tech debunk featuring Level1Techs (as well)?

Desperately waiting for the update...

It's been 4 hours.

Either that's a director's cut or RIP OP.

I watched the movie and fell asleep  Like the IMDB reviews say it's a bad movie and you're better of saving your time Lunus doesn't appear, he says he was cut last minute

So, from the trailer (it looks really bad) most of the movie seems to be Ice cube looking at videos from social media, so I guess that's where it makes sense that Linus and Zack King make appearances

This is the closest you ever come to seeing Linus. When they actually show the face of Burnout it’s very much not Linus, but the voice sounds vaguely like Linus through a voice modulator right around the 1-hour mark

34

Only one problem, there is a Norwegian (I think) actor called Linus Sebastian

42

Zach King is also there, so there might be a youtube scene or something.

Just saw the trailer, movie's budget was a dbrand skin and some.

Wasn’t Linus in x files or something?

18

Yes. We sorted that one out quickly. As a huge X-Files fan I was invested when they said that on WAN. He is unseen AFAIK in the episode "Red Museum." S02E10. It's an episode about a cult-like organization that doesn't eat meat. There's shots with lots of kids and many many extras. We couldn't tell if he was in one very quick shot at the end. It's hard to tell since they all wear turbans but I don't think they used any shots with him. Never seen a photo of his dad so couldn't state on that either.
