In a pre-Berlin move, Australian actor Brenton Thwaites (Blue Lagoon: The Awakening, Maleficent, Oculus) has signed on to star in the zombie action movie Office Uprising, Variety reports.
“Office Uprising is set inside one of the world’s leading arms manufacturers where a substance is slipped into the employees’ drinks by the board of directors that supposedly makes them work more efficiently. Due to a slacker within the company, though, they are fed the wrong formula and start turning into homicidal maniacs — leaving the slacker needing to step up his game to rescue himself and his friends from the growing zombie plague inside the company compound.”
Steven C. Miller (Under the Bed, Submerged, Marauders) is directing from a script written by Ian Shorr and Peter Gamble.
Thwaites will also star in Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man Tell No Tales as Henry Turner, the son of Orlando Bloom’s Will Turner character.
The Exchange is launching sales at the Berlin Film Festival.
