    LOGLINE In a twisted social experiment, a group of 80 Americans are locked in their high-rise office in Bogotá, Colombia, and ordered by an unknown voice coming from the company’s intercom system to participate in a deadly game of kill or be killed in order to survive. SHORT SYNOPSIS Eighty Americans locked inside Belko Industries’ high-rise corporate office in Bogotá, Colombia, are horrified when an unknown voice issues a command through the intercom system: kill two people in the next 30 minutes or more people will die. Pacifist Mike Pelk (John Gallagher, Jr.) and his girlfriend Leandra (Adria Arjona) try to convince their office mates to resist the order, but when the heads of four random co-workers explode and the anonymous voice directs the office workers to kill 30 more of their colleagues, cold-blooded COO Barry Norris (Tony Goldwyn) takes charge and violence escalates as the staff members turn on one another in a desperate attempt to survive. LONG SYNOPSIS When office workers arrive for work at Belko Industries’ isolated high-rise campus outside Bogotá, Colombia, the morning starts much like any other. Mike Pelk (John Gallagher Jr.) smokes weed in the bathroom and flirts with his beautiful officemate Leandra (Adria Arjona) while new employee Dany Wilkins (Melonie Diaz) settles in for her first day on the job. Everything changes when an anonymous voice comes through the intercom speakers ordering employees to kill two of their colleagues within 30 minutes. Many of the 80 employees assume the order is a sick joke, even when steel-plated doors snap shut sealing off all windows and exits.

  • Production Brief
    PRODUCTION BRIEF Marvel Studios’ “What If…?” flips the script on the Marvel Cinematic Universe, reimagining famous events from the films in unexpected ways. Creating a multiverse of infinite possibilities, “What If… ?” features fan-favorite characters, including Peggy Carter, T’Challa, Doctor Strange, Killmonger, Thor and more. Debuting exclusively on Disney+ on Aug. 11, 2021, “What If… ?” features of voice of Jeffrey Wright as The Watcher. Marvel Studios’ first-ever animated series also features the voices of a host of stars who reprise their iconic roles in the MCU—though their characters’ journeys promise to be wildly unique. “It’s an anthology,” says executive producer Brad Winderbaum. “The Watcher introduces us each week to these alternate storylines— each a kind of cautionary tale in the spirit of ‘The Twilight Zone.’ We bounce around genres and tone—some episodes will be dramatic; some will be tragic or comedic.” Marvel Studios veteran Bryan Andrews was called on to helm the series. “He’s boarded many of our major action sequences over the years,” says Winderbaum. “He’s an animation director and has been behind some of the best animated shows, ‘Samurai Jack,’ ‘Sym-Bionic Titan’ and the original ‘Star Wars: Clone Wars.’ “At the same time, my kids were watching Guillermo Del Toro’s ‘Trollhunters’ on Netflix,” continues Winderbaum. “AC Bradley, the writer on that show, had come in to pitch for ‘Captain Marvel,’ which didn’t work out due to some other obligations, and producer Jonathan Schwartz recommended her for ‘What If…?’ We brought her in and she understood what we wanted to do immediately.

  • Fat Thor” Reveals About Gender Differences in Perception of Male Insult and Obesity
    What “Fat Thor” Reveals About Gender Differences in Perception of Male Insult and Obesity Tony Breeden FINAL PROJECT 2 What “Fat Thor” Reveals About Gender Differences in Perception of Male Insult and Obesity Introduction Men and women communicate differently. I know this from personal experience. At one point early in our relationship, I recall how horrified my wife was at how my dad, my brothers and I related to one another through comments and insults without the other feeling the slightest bit offended. There definitely seemed to be a big difference between the way males and females perceived these interactions. Lately, I’ve been taken up with the conversations that have arisen over Fat Thor in the Avengers: Endgame (2019). The pundits seemed to be divided almost along gender lines as to whether the change in the character portrayed by Chris Hemsworth since 2011 is one long, offensive running joke or whether he is a genuine hero of a different body size. Initial charges of “fat-shaming” in Avengers: Endgame were introduced by Kaila Hale-Stern, writing for TheMarySue.com, two days prior to the film’s release in the U.S. (Hale-Stern, 2019). She justified the violation of a fandom social contract known as a spoiler moratorium instituted by the filmmakers until May 6, 2019 (Marshall, 2019) by citing the need to warn persons who might be unprepared for the alleged fat-shaming surrounding Thor in the film. Of the articles written by the end of opening weekend, 61% were negative. Men reacted mostly positive at 66% compared to 75% negative reviews from women writers.
