From The Press Release
Brian O’Shea, CEO of The Exchange, has announced a deal to sell worldwide rights to OFFICE UPRISING.
Brenton Thwaites (MALEFICENT, PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES, THE GIVER) has been cast in the picture which the Exchange will be selling at Berlinale and EFM’16, February 11 – 19, 2016.
OFFICE UPRISING tells the story inside one of the worlds 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. It soon is up to the slacker to step up his game to rescue himself and his friends from the growing Zombie plague inside the company compound.
OFFICE UPRISING is directed by Steven C. Miller (MARAUDERS, EXTRACTION, AGGRESSION SCALE, SILENT NIGHT) and written by Ian Shorr (SPLINTER, ALWAYS WATCHING: A MARBLE HORNETS STORY) and Peter Gamble. The film is produced by Giulia Prenna (THE EVIL GENE, GREYSTONE PARK), and William Clevinger (THE BITS ARE COMING, SUBMERGED).
“Fans of the growing zombie genre craze are going to love Office Uprising,” said O’Shea, “We are truly excited to have cast Brenton Thwaites, a sensational, versatile young leading man who will hit the comedic notes and sell the action. Similar to Nicholas Hoult in WARM BODIES, and Jesse Eisenberg in ZOMBIELAND, Brenton Thwaites has the star quality to make OFFICE UPRISING into a breakout theatrical hit.”
