Official Trailer for “Corner Office,” A New Comedy Starring Jon Hamm, Danny Pudi and More

Posted on by

The film stars Jon Hamm, Danny Pudi, Christopher Heyerdahl, Allison Riley, and Shawn Macdonald. It is based on the novel “The Room” by Jonas Karlsson and is directed by Joachim Back. Ted Kupper wrote the screenplay.

In this workplace comedy reminiscent of Office Space and “Severance,” misfit Orson finds himself trapped in the absurdities of corporate life. As The Authority’s newest employee, Orson finds it difficult to connect with his enigmatic desk mate, Rakesh (Danny Pudi), as well as with the rest of his colleagues. His alienation deepens when he discovers a room he’s told doesn’t exist – a place that unleashes his true potential, leading to an ascent up the corporate ladder.

Buoyed by his newfound confidence, Orson invites a receptionist into his sanctuary, sparking a climactic clash between the corporate world’s harsh realities and his own wild fantasies.

“Corner Office” is set for release on August 4, 2023.

Official Trailer For Zombie Comedy FINAL CUT From Michel Hazanavicius

Posted on by

Written and directed by Michel Hazanavicius, and starring Romain Duris, Bérénice Bejo, Matilda Lutz, Finnegan Oldfield, the French zombie comedy is set for release in theaters on July 14.

The film screened earlier this month during the Tribeca Film Festival.

Here is the film’s official synopsis:

Oscar® winner Michel Hazanavicius’ remake of Shin’ichirô Ueda’s cult hit One Cut of the Dead follows a director (Romain Duris, L’Auberge Espagnole) charged with making a live, single-take, low-budget zombie flick in which the cast and crew, one by one, actually turn into zombies.

Featuring hysterically unhinged performances from Oscar® nominee Bérénice Bejo (The Artist), Matilda Lutz (Revenge), and Finnegan Oldfield (Corsage), Final Cut is a sly love letter to the art of filmmaking and a blood-soaked, hilarious genre farce with a meta-to-the-max premise.
