Coming soon: pic based on Transformers ... and The Office

Just announced, a new flick that is coming to theaters next summer, from the people who brought us SciFi Channel movies such as Sloth Monster, Super Salmon and Raccoon-Moose Hybrid Man-eating Beast of the Poconos ...


In the entertaining spirit of television comedy hit The Office and the blockbuster techno-action movie Transformers:

In a world ...
where decent jobs are hard to come by, even for well-educated people who don't brown-nose and have notable white-collar skills, there's a rising evil. When most people are working too much overtime, or two to three jobs, to protect their job and to keep their standard of living up, there's a looming threat. In the balance is the happiness, health and sanity of anyone not independently wealthy or working for themselves.

It was
believed, not long ago, by some, that there were ample management books published in multiple languages saturating the planet with enough practical sense to force them out of most leadership roles. Somehow, their strength was greater than even a typical friendly, though professional, middle manager with an AS degree in business could imagine.

They are your supervisor, your neighbor's boss, or your friend's manager. Maybe they're ALL THREE. They have set their sights on department or division management. And they don't intend to bring any of you "worthless slackers" along with them on the rise to a sunny corner office.


They're here, they stare, get use to it.

A member of a small team of young professionals tasked to create an engaging brochure for an upcoming industry expo mistakenly discovers a disposed copy of their elaborate plans in their office copy room. The rise to strength in the workplace seems impossible to achieve, but their looming success proves all too real when the team learns, too late, that they have already taken over human resources in their own company. Too late, to save the girlfriend of one member of the team (but they weren't that serious, anyway), who is fired without severance pay and blames it, quite credibly, on only office politics.

This is the story of how one small business' team of eager up-and-comers encourages enough people to fight back ... against the threat of their age ... the threat of their careers: The Micromanagers!

Corporate vampires in disguise!”
