John Hannah, Radha Mitchell, Tamer Hassan, and Lana Parrilla will have a Bad Day At The Office this October. The teaser and artwork are here.
Action Xtreme is excited to unveil a brand new teaser for their upcoming high-octane action-thriller, Bad Day at the Office. The film is set to kick off the prestigious Midnight Madness strand at the Edinburgh International Film Festival. This marks its World Premiere. Furthermore, fans can catch it in UK and Irish cinemas starting 30th October.
Shot entirely in first person, Bad Day At The Office combines a high-octane action thriller with that of an adrenaline-fueled video game. You see all the action through the eyes of the protagonists and antagonists via GoPro cameras. As a result, every punch lands with impact, every chase quickens your pulse, and every explosion shakes your core.
A 4DX SCREENING IN CINEWORLD FOUNTAINBRIDGE
Audiences will also be able to experience Bad Day at the Office in all its irrepressible glory on Wednesday, 19th August at Cineworld Fountainbridge. They can do this by immersing themselves in the sights, sounds, scents, and motions of the 4DX screening. Notably, this is a rarity as a format for UK Film Festival screenings.
For fans of Hardcore Henry, blended with Crank, Call of Duty, and a sprinkling of Guy Ritchie’s Snatch, this is John Hannah (The Mummy) as you’ve never seen him.
WARNING: THE TRAILER BELOW CONTAINS VIOLENT SCENES AND FOUL LANGUAGE
ALSO STARRING
Bad Day at the Office also stars Radha Mitchell (Pitch Black), Tamer Hassan (The Football Factory), and Lana Parrilla (Once Upon a Time), as well as Tim Fellingham (Final Destination 5), Roxanne McKee (Game of Thrones), Branko Tomović (24: Live Another Day), and Victor Gardener (Fast and Furious 6).
Director Chee Keong Cheung has created a wild and relentless POV thriller that puts the audience squarely inside the chaos. You are not watching the main character. You are the main character.
THE PREMISE
When Karl (John Hannah) awakes in a wrecked hotel room with a splitting headache, it isn’t because he’s nursing a nasty hangover. Karl has no memory of what’s happened, where he is, or even who he is.
When he discovers a dead body in his bathtub, and two police officers soon knock at his door, it sets into motion a terrifying and explosive series of events that force Karl and hotel maid Molly (Radha Mitchell) on a blind descent into a deceptive world of confusion and conspiracy, all the while with a price on his head and half the city in murderous pursuit.
Karl will need to draw on his forgotten skill sets if he has any hope of survival, as he and Molly endeavor to unravel the mystery that took his memories.
EMMA BOA
“Shot in the style of first-person shooter video games with cine-literate wit, humor, ferocious pacing and a cracking soundtrack, this is an anarchic, ultra-violent and hilarious thrill ride of pure, cinematic carnage,” said Festival Producer at Edinburgh, Emma Boa. “The ultimate Midnight Madness experience.”
DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT
“Bad Day at the Office was an intense, very physical, technically complex and thrilling creative journey. I was fortunate to have a truly amazing cast and crew who helped me realize this crazy epic vision. I’m excited to be able to share this film with audiences and hope they will have as much fun immersing themselves and going along for the ride as we all had making it.”
Chee Keong Cheung, Director
Bad Day At The Office will premiere at the EIFF Midnight Madness on August 13th. It will have its special 4DX screening on August 19th. The film will be released in UK and Irish cinemas on October 30th.
