VMI Worldwide has picked up international rights and launched talks at TIFF on Joachim Back’s dark comedy Corner Office starring Jon Hamm.
The film received its world premiere earlier this year at Tribeca Festival and follows Orson, a corporate employee trying to move up the ladder who discovers a secret room in his drab office building, which causes problems with his new colleagues.
Rounding out the cast are Danny Pudi, Sarah Gadon and Christopher Heyerdahl. Ted Kupper adapted the screenplay from Jonas Karlsson’s novel The Room.
Producer credits on the Kafkaesque tale are shared by Tilt9 Entertainment’s Dylan Collingwood, Robert Mitchell, Matt Clarke, and David Milchard, and Luke Rivett for Anonymous Content in association with Space Pilot Media’s Oliver Ridge and Andrew Harvey.
Theodore Melfi of Goldenlight Films, Raymond Fortier and Terry Williston served as executive producers.
VMI Worldwide CEO Andre Relis of VMI Worldwide brokered the deal with John McGrath of UTA on behalf of the filmmakers.
“Jon Hamm brings one of his best performances in Corner Office, lending to his gift of dry humour,” said Relis. “We are looking forward to bringing this one to market and the reactions from the international buyers.”
“We are thrilled to be working with VMI to bring this special film to the world,” added Clarke and Corner Office Productions. “Their passion for the movie is inspiring and makes us excited to see that passion translate to audiences around the world.”
