Brenton Thwaites is set to star in zombie actioner “Office Uprising” from director Steven C. Miller.

Ian Shorr and Peter Gamble wrote the screenplay “set inside one of the world’s leading arms manufacturers where a substance is slipped into the employees’ drinks by the board of directors that supposedly makes them work more efficiently. Due to a slacker within the company, though, they are fed the wrong formula and start turning into homicidal maniacs — leaving the slacker needing to step up his game to rescue himself and his friends from the growing zombie plague inside the company compound” (via Variety).

Giulia Prenna and William Clevinger are producing.
