The Last Guest, also known in international markets as The Only Guest and in China, as Zuìhòu de kèrén (最後的客人) is a 2017 Robloxian epic war film directed by Harri White, written from a screenplay by Alexander Cunningham, Jones Berry and Steve Davis and produced by ObliviousHD Studios. The plot, which takes place in a present day world, centers on Charles, known as The Last Guest, who watches as all of the other guests go extinct. The film stars Chazz Ravenelle, Graham Rowat, Jane Russell, Mercedes Watson, Reed Kriner, Andrew Porter, Arachne Sanders, Benji Pea, Michael Adams, Henry Watson, Ariana Ford and Alexis Jordan. Additional casting includes Yeni Ann, Moss Gardner and Max Harris.
In August 2014, Harri White submitted a proposal for The Last Guest that centered on war. At the time, ObliviousHD Studios was mostly focused on comedy and drama. However, with the working title The Only Guest, development began after being green-lit in January 2015. The writers had already been selected by the time casting for the movie started in April and continued until June of that year. Production lasted for nearly two years. Filming ran from June to October 2016. The film was then announced in November of that year.
The Last Guest premiered at the Agora Theater on December 1, 2017 and was released in theaters on December 8. It received mixed reviews from critics, who praised the action scenes, characters, cinematography and its ambition, but criticized the pacing, writing and directing. Nevertheless, The Last Guest was a box office hit, earning $519 million worldwide in total and became the tenth highest-grossing film of 2017. In China, The Last Guest receives criticism for its content, messages and its story.
A remake of this movie, The Last Guest: Reimagined, was announced in December 2025 and was released, albeit a month-long delay, on May 9th, 2026. An unofficial sequel of this movie, The Last Guest: Reimagined - The Prodigy, is yet to be announced and released.
Plot
Charles is born at the start of the movie and is handed to two guests for parents. When Charles first smiles at his parents, his mother bursts into tears of happiness. The scene then shifts to nine years old, when Charles is starting his first year of school after missing the previous one due to the severe violence that involved both Guests and Bacons and was happening across the nation. There is a planned conflict between the Bacons and the Guests, according to the news. He gets bullied by several younger students at school, but two individuals—a guy and a female—stop him. They come and protect the Guest. They arrive and safeguard the Guests. They go on to become great friends a year later. He is playing with his closest pals one day when they had to go.
He doesn't want to attend, but his parents insist that he must. He so gets an additional ten minutes to play. Suddenly, when he's playing on the playground, his parents are shot to death. Shortly after, he finds himself enmeshed in a shootout. Later on, it comes to light that the town he was in had been assaulted by the Bacon Terrorist Organization. Fearful, he flees to a house where several guests are holed up. He enters through the back door and hides in a room. He sobs after hearing the sound of windows cracking. The commotion stops a little while later, and it becomes clear that the whole family was slain. Charles shouts and flees to a different house.
Charles visits Kate's residence since he has been there previously. He gave the door a forceful knock, but nobody answered. It is revealed that Kate fled to a different town with her family, and that his village was the first to be attacked in a recent conflict between the Guests and the Bacons, as shown by the news shown through the windows. Charles then notices a piece of paper that he had forgotten to bring to his residence the day before. According to the publication, she saw him by the afternoon of the next day, but she stated that she had no alternative but to leave her village behind because the war had now started. Charles sobs as he is rescued from the town by a group of people who have located the Guest.
As Charles began to cry even more, the film ends. It is revealed in a series of montages that Charles was abandoned by his biological father and raised by an adoptive family. As a youngster, he was primarily teased by Roblox regulars and the Bacons. When he is twelve years old, a mother who also has a twelve-year-old daughter founds him. When he first met her, she introduced herself as Kate, who happens to be one of Charles's old best pals. She disclosed that the mother had adopted him, but not before the bacons had accidentally murdered her own mother. When Kate began to weep, someone else came to give her a hug. It is revealed that following the war, Kate developed a friendship with the unidentified person, who is now identified as John.
A couple of decades later, Charles married Kate, and John grew to be his closest buddy. A small girl named Sandra is born to Kale and Charles together. Sandra is the mother of Charles. The movie then shifts to the Bacon Terrorist Organization, whose objective appears to have been successful overall, albeit not as much as stated by The General, Kakistos, who says that they intend to welcome one more guest, Charles, in reality. According to the statistics, Charles is the only Guest that is still alive. The Bacon Terrorist Organization has been keeping a close eye on him for a number of days, having just started a week ago when he was discovered.
Then, in order to murder the Last Guest, the General gave them the command to engage in combat with the Robloxians. When a fresh report said that the Bacon Terrorist Organization was preparing a conflict with the United States in the hopes of finding the Last Guest, they were watching the news with their youngest daughter one day. Charles became concerned and took another look at the document that Kate had given him all those years ago. Although the last war ended many weeks ago, Charles and his family are afraid for their own lives since a new one is about to start.
John and Charles had a conversation about the war in a pub. Subsequently, it is also said that Charles and John planned to go to war, which is what actually transpired, and in one scene, Charles bids his family farewell. Charles went to the war after that. They meet a number of more folks. Suddenly, the battle has broken out where they are, and they are all fighting the Bacons. One of them accidentally shot a member of their team, who ultimately perishes in front of Charles. Even though he is the sole guest, Charles sobs in fear but refuses to let go of the past because he simply wants the lives of future guests to be secure. Then, when a bomb dropped in front of them, the majority of their crew was injured, and three of them died. The bomb is so strong that it launches many individuals into the air before crashing to the earth.
Charles made the decision to assault the Bacons in the midst of the fight after realizing that every member of their crew was either dead or injured. When the General spots the final guest, he rushes to shoot the guest. Charles spots The General, and the two of them start fighting. The battle culminates at the top of the structure, which houses the Bacon Terrorist Organization. The General launches a nuclear bomb into the sky, thereby taking thousands of lives. The General is hauled up into the sky when Charles pushes him into the nuclear bomb. The Last Guest was killed when the nuclear detonation occurred because he was holding a bomb when it erupted. The Last Guest's family announced his passing as the movie came to a close.

Production
Development
The Last Guest was distributed by Universal Pictures and produced by ObliviousHD Studios, whose owner Rodney Trevino founded the company in 2011. The studio has previously produced Fish Of The Lost Ones (2011) and Breath Of The Elements (2013), two comedic movies. In August of 2014, Harri White originally put up the concept for The Last Guest. There were allegations at the time that the US government was thinking of sending all of the visitors to another country by deportation. The Bacon Empire was a contentious topic at the time that sparked extensive rioting and protests, and the bulk of the guests were against it. White stated that in order to "create a serious" envision based on contemporary events and issues, he had read over thirty books on the subject while conducting research for the film. White derived inspiration from the subject of war. Furthermore influencing the concept of the individual as a "Last Guest" were a number of stories from World Wars I and II as well as War ROBLOX II, the most recent World War. In a particular story, a small child was grieving the loss of his family and had to devise a strategy to foil the "bad guys."
When Harri White first pitched the idea, the studio producers expressed curiosity, but they had reservations about the subject of war and its potential gravity. Due to this, the movie was not given the go-ahead right away, and with ample time remaining, Harri White started composing the "main story" of the movie. In an effort to "delve deeper" into the "true topic and meaning" of war, White and his team visited a number of sites that had previously hosted American Revolutionary War battles. Using this historical context to further enhance the story's "power," White completed the first draft of the film. During this period, there were even more demonstrations and outrage when the US government announced that all visitors would be prohibited from entering the country starting in 2016. ObliviousHD Studios apparently felt that the film's theme and premise would generate problems due to its notes and inspiration from the events that were taking place.
When director Bradley Holland joined The Last Guest in November 2014, it was still in its early phases of development. He learned about the way the studio was handling the project. His original goal was to direct the movie in order to feel helpful, but he had to abandon it after just one month in order to work on the studio's next 2015 picture, Spiders of the Eclipse, even though he was a producer on The Last Guest. Producers gave The Last Guest the go-ahead to begin production during a pitching conference, with Harri White slated to serve as director. Production began in December 2014. Producer Houston Hammond had disclosed that month that the film was prepared for "production" and that a possible title for it was The Lonely Guest. For the first war picture from ObliviousHD Studios, Harri White decided to collaborate with the directors of past war films, utilizing those movies as "references" for both the primary story and the script.
At a news conference in January 2015, focusing on the "future of ObliviousHD Studios", Rodney Trevino discussed the impending war project and stated the following: "The Only Guest is the name of the movie that we now have in production. This movie is currently in production, and according to Harri White, it will be about war, but more significantly, it will be about the events that have occurred lately involving the United States and the Guests. Yes. The film is presently being directed by White, and its release date is currently uncertain. However! Our goal is for the movie to be released sometime in 2017. However, just so you're all aware, the movie we're discussing here is quite different from the movies we usually make. We have another comedy movie this year, but for now, it will have to do. The next war movie will be serious, heartfelt, and all you could ever want in a film. Simply again, it is inspired by the current issue". Character designer Frankie Fisher joined the project in March and collaborated with White to develop the new characters that would appear in the movie.
The Last Guest, which was previously released as The Only Guest, was the first movie in the history of the company to include Bacons and Noobs as part of the main cast. Because the Bacons and Noobs were essentially the same, they had to decide which character to give more attention to. At an early stage in the film's scripting, Charles was given the name Dexter; in fact, the name "Dexter" was derived from the name of Dexter Atkinson, one of the producers who would later work on the feature picture. However, the name was altered to "Charles" for reasons that are unknown, other from reports that Dexter Atkinson objected to his name being used. When the tale progressed through the stages of production, the names of the majority of the characters were modified from their original, completely different ones. For instance, "Kate" was originally going to be called Mckenna, but at the ObliviousHD Studios panel in 2016, the producers decided to alter the name to "Kate" since they thought it was a "good name" and would suit better with the female character.
Deadline revealed in August 2015 that the movie has been retitled to The Last Guest. Harri White said that the previous title was "off-putting" and that as a result, the new title was more appropriate for the story's main premise. Director Denis White took his cue from the Kennedy assassination in 1963 when he introduced the topic of bullets and deaths into the script later in the film's production. Rodney Trevino and White's team developed new ideas over the course of a year, which were eventually added into the film. Announced in December 2015, while the picture was still on track for production and other themes were being considered by the studio, The Last Guest was revealed to be scheduled to premiere in the United States on December 1, 2017. Josh Richards stated that the film's development was going well and that it had finally started to take shape when the release date was announced. In a January 2016 interview with The New York Times, White said that the members of the team were "currently fixing those problems" with The Last Guest, a film that was purportedly having issues with its message and plot.
Writing
Brodie Kennedy, Zachary Richardson, Adam Burns, Jack Brown, and Harri White were given credit for the writing of The Last Guest. Over the course of a year, Jones Berry, Steve Davis, and Alexander Cunningham wrote it. Though Jones Berry claimed to have written many comic films in the past, he described writing a "serious and dark" film as "challenging" for him at first. It was initially the writers's intention to give Charles and Kate a quick love story that would span the entirety of the film, despite Alexander having stated that they "would eventually" be married. This strategy was dropped, though, because the last scene would see Charles's death.
In addition to writing the fight sequence, Zachary Richardson and Harri White collaborated as "story writers" on the movie. The way that the combat of New Orleans and the Siege of Yorktown began and the ending of World Wars 1 and 2 served as inspiration for the concluding combat scenario. The Country Ends (1932), a film in which the protagonist perished while riding a falling nuclear bomb, served as the model for Charles's demise. When Charles was first supposed to die, it was "way more violent" since a police helicopter's blades would have killed him. The script for The Last Guest was locked in early 2017, after it was completed around June 2016.
Casting
A casting call was posted on the official ObliviousHD Studios website in April of 2016. The next month, Chazz Ravenelle became a member of the main cast, playing the part of Charles, also known as The Last Guest. Chazz Ravenelle had previously worked on a another war film, titled The War Of 1999 (2010) and was hired for the role by some of his producers. White explained in June 2017 that his overall voice, tone, and personality traits were taken into account throughout the hiring process. He was supposed to be a bashful adult who was afraid and terrified of getting into trouble in the first script, though. But in order for the audience to relate to White's character more readily, he needed to be far more sympathetic. Kristian Wilkerson, the character designer, described Charles as having a "simple" attitude that ranged from "brave" to "welcoming". The segment that had been set aside was ultimately used for the "child scenes". At just ten years old, Marvin Dickerson, who played the younger Charles, was quite upset at several points in the film.
Mercedes Watson portrayed "John" and Jane Russell played "Kate" when they both joined the production in December 2016. In November of that year, Andrew Anderson, a Bacon Hair, undertook some testing; originally, "John" was supposed to be played by a regular person. White was "shocked" by his performance when he was done and chose to cast him as "John." The General, also known as "Kakistos," is a character that Michael Adams was recruited for around June 2016. He didn't reveal that he was in the film until January 2, 2017, which was almost six months after he began filming it. Michael Adams said he had not portrayed a villain in a very long time and that he wanted to play the "role" of a serious man; his most recent villainous part was in Noobs and Bacons (2002).
Filming
While Harri White had originally planned for The Last Guest to begin filming in March 2016, problems with the screenplay and casting caused the production to reschedule until the summer. Due to lingering problems and conditions between the United States and the Guests, filming did not take place in the Bacon Empire as Harri White had initially planned in the early stages of production. On June 19, 2016, when the movie's shooting officially started in Springfield, Liberty County, Bloxburg, it was revealed that Moss Gardner would be filming his scenes on the first day. Antiphates Mills served as the main cinematographer for the movie. With over 100 people on the scene for the gunshot scene, the town had to be closed for at least two weeks so that the crew could plan the filming.
Filming for the killing of Charle's parents and the shootout between the Guests and the Bccons was scheduled for many months before filming even started. As per Katherine Robinson, real firearms were utilized for the sequences, which were recorded on July 3, 2016, the day before July 4, which was Independence Day. Marvin was genuinely "upset" throughout the firefight and the filming. According to White, Marvin "actually began crying" and made an attempt to get back to the house. Marvin then stated he was "in fact so scared for his life" and that he felt like he "was gonna die". The battle scenes between the Guests and the Bacons was one of the most challening issues with filming, as planning took months and many of the crew members were worried that filming had to stop again. The crew also reportedly going to the Bacon Empire to film the battle scene there, but was scrapped in favor for a large area and the set was building there from September 1 to September 25 of 2016.
Problems
Several problems transpired, such as people calling the police after discovering they were being filmed; in one incident, which is purported to have happened on July 5, 2016, the FBI was called to the location, forcing the recording to be halted. Filming eventually resumed on July 18, 2016, following a conversation with the residents on their worries regarding the incident. After a week of filming in Springfield, more filming took place in many sites across Bloxburg. During the gunfire incident in the area, at least one individual was injured and required medical attention at a nearby hospital before making a full recovery. On October 12, 2016, the filming came to an end after several months.
