Perhaps there will be a reference news article, interview, or review someday that will allow any Wiki editor so inclined to add a new section to the Chronicle article that points out the similarities to earlier TK-related movies. It's possible that these are intentional tip-of-the-hat tributes and not just unoriginal filmmkaing. I noticed the following six similarities. Add yours to the list. 5Q5 ( talk) 18:38, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
The lede claims the film is presented as a found footage film but this isn't true. It's filmed via non professional means but this is a style. The footage is not presented as a bunch of tape found by someone after the fact, certainly noone found the camera from the last part. Darkwarriorblake ( talk) 01:06, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
This argument is silly. There is no concrete defintion of what constitutes "found footage". Chronicle has been called "found footage" by innumerable media outlets. It has been described as the "first found footage superhero movie" loads of times. Just because there is no indication on screen as to how the footage was "found" doesn't mean it isn't found footage; after all, you are watching it, so it was found at some point.

In the very bottom of the article, it says the movie has made 36,000,000 when it has actually made 39,959,856 dollars.

Astonishing. This movie has only recently opened and already it has a Wikipedia entry to rivals some of the greatest films ever bad. Obviously, some people have FAR too much time on their hands. And then there is the slight fact that Wikipedia is supposed to be a reference cite, not a fan site. Like all trendy SyFy movies, this entry has been captured by fans. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.153.96.131 ( talk) 21:32, 18 February 2012 (UTC)

Under the production section, please add that: 'Chronicle was shot in Cape Town with Film Afrika Worldwide, as well in Vancouver, Canada.' For references, you can check out http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1706593/locations or http://www.filmcontact.com/south-africa/cape-town-stars-location-us-box-office-smash-hits. Thanks.

Done I left out the IMDB reference. IMDB, like Wikipedia, cannot be used as a reference since it is user editted. Thanks, Celestra ( talk) 07:45, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
For some nerdy reason, I always love knowing when production actually begins and ends on a film and it was killing me that I couldn't find anything on Chronicle...until now. According to this article, Chronicle began filming in May 2011 and wrapped after about eighteen weeks which suggests filming ended in August 2011. I think it would be nice to stick it into the article as I believe this movie deserves more information to be spread about it. -- Travy1991 ( talk) 03:32, 3 March 2012 (UTC)
Sure, that's great. It's relevant to the production. You can add it in if you want, if not then I'll add it in. Good job for finding it. Your nerdiness was helpful. Charlr6 ( talk) 12:40, 3 March 2012 (UTC)

The page says the budget of the movie was 15 million, however on Box Office Mojo [1] it says the budget is 12 Million. Unsure whether to fix it up or not. -- Mjs1991 ( talk) 08:09, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
I think it should be noted somewhere in the article that some of the scenes are taken almost verbatim from the 1988 Japanese animation "Akira". In particular (spoilers:) the main character violently escaping from a hospital, and the shattering glass near the end of the film are very curious with respect to similar scenes in Akira. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 119.242.49.161 ( talk) 14:52, 10 May 2012 (UTC)
Nothing is written about Casey Letter (played by Ashley Hinshaw) in the plot section. Zheek ( talk) 16:22, 7 February 2013 (UTC)
Chronicle had no score. The Infobox said Music by Terry Wilson, but Wilson was credited as a music editor, not a composer. Should this information be removed (or altered to reflect the fact that Wilson wrote no music for this film)? - Rmaynardjr ( talk) 03:48, 3 August 2015 (UTC)
