Sam Daly Drinks the ‘Office Uprising’ Kool-Aid
Sam Daly (Submerged) is drinking the energy drink from hell by joining the zombie pic Office Uprising, which is being directed by Lin Oeding, says Deadline. Steven C. Miller (Under the Bed, Submerged, Aggression Scale) had been previously attached.
Brenton Thwaites (Gods of Egypt, Maleficent) stars a slacker who has to step up his game in order to rescue himself and his friends from a growing zombie plague inside his company compound.
An underachiever working at a major weapons manufacturing firm finds that his co-workers have been “weaponized” by a new energy drink designed for the military. He must then set off to rescue his one true love from an office building full of psychotic coworkers armed with deadly tech.
Jane Levy (Don’t Breathe, Evil Dead), Zachary Levi, Alan Ritchson and Ian Harding co-star.
Ian Shorr and Peter Gamble wrote the script. Thwaites, Stephanie Pinola, and Chris Conover are executive producing with Giulia Prenna, Jim Steele, Sean Lydiard and William Clevinger serving as producers.
In addition to Leigh Whannell’s upcoming Universal Monsters movie Wolf Man, Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel) has also joined the cast of Weapons, THR has announced tonight.
Weapons is the new horror movie from New Line Cinema and director Zach Cregger (Barbarian), with Julia Garner joining the previously announced Josh Brolin (Dune 2).
The upcoming Weapons is from writer/director Zach Cregger, who will also produce alongside his Barbarian producing team: Roy Lee of Vertigo and J.D. Lifshitz and Raphael Margules of BoulderLight Pictures. Vertigo’s Miri Yoon also produces.
The Hollywood Reporter teases, “Plot details for Weapons are being kept holstered but it is described as a multi and inter-related story horror epic that tonally is in the vein of Magnolia, the 1999 actor-crammed showcase from filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson.”
Cregger was a founding member and writer for the New York comedy troupe “The Whitest Kids U’Know,” which he started while attending The School of Visual Arts. The award-winning group’s self-titled sketch comedy show ran for five seasons on IFC-TV and Fuse. He was also a series regular on Jimmy Fallon’s NBC series “Guys with Kids” and the TBS hit series “Wrecked,” and was featured in a recurring role on the NBC series “About a Boy.”
Weapons will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures.
