Mad Men meets Severance for Fight Club in the corner office

Corner Office just released a new trailer and I have a feeling it will play in front of my eyes for at least three hours. Is this headline weird? Is it maybe a bit nonsense? Honestly good. This trailer gave me whiplash. Please watch and if you feel the need to scream please think of the floor.

Corner Office (2023) Official Trailer – Jon Hamm, Danny Pudi, Sarah Gadon

This trailer is so good I had to pace around my apartment for three minutes before I could form a coherent sentence. Everything about this production – the design, the costumes, the makeup, the pacing, the color, the weirdness, everything works. It owes a great deal to Severance, capitalizing on bleak post-capitalism and creating an environment of fear. In the new horror stories, it’s not the house that’s haunted, it’s the office.

Jon Hamm plays Orson, a man who finds a strange space in the office building where he works that allows him to come to terms with reality. Danny Pudi is Rakesh, his desk neighbor who is a bit odd. Christopher Heyerdahl is his boss, Andrew, and Sarah Gadon is the receptionist. It’s incredibly good, and while this character might be a little dated for Hamm (who can forget Don Draper?), he clearly dominates the role.

Corner Office will premiere on August 4th.
