Bad Day At The Office enters the first-person void in bonkers new trailer
The first-person action film Bad Day At The Office explodes into theaters in the UK and Ireland this October.
Every few years, an ambitious filmmaker takes a bold gamble by attempting to give the first-person perspective another go. Occasionally, these films become cult classics, such as Enter The Void or the best film of the decade, Nickel Boys. However, other instances, like Hardcore Henry, emerge as intriguing experiments that blend the popularity of first-person shooters with the likes of Jason Statham.
Bad Day At The Office fits into that category. Directed by Chee Keong Cheun, the film places you in the role of the protagonist and stars John Hannah, Radha Mitchell, Tamer Hassan, Lana Parrilla, Tim Fellingham, Roxanne McKee, Branko Tomović, and Victor Gardener. The story revolves around an amnesiac named Karl (played by Hannah) who wakes up in a devastated hotel room, suffering from a severe headache and finding a corpse in the bathtub.
Utilizing GoPro cameras to capture the first-person chaos, Cheung follows the enigmatic hero, with a particular set of skills he barely remembers, alongside a hotel maid (played by Radha Mitchell) as they attempt to unravel the complex mystery that took away his memories. Cheung shared, "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 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." Bad Day At The Office is set to hit the screens in the UK and Ireland on October 30.
