2019 Sundance Film Festival Predictions: #19. Patrick Brice – Corporate Animals

Pretty much working non-stop since 2014’s Creep, Patrick Brice‘s only Sundance stop as been the acerbic The Overnight Earlier in the summer in New Mexico, he activated Corporate Animals – a comedy which was suppose to originally star Sharon Stone, but Demi Moore moved in for the role. Ed Helms, Jessica Williams, Nasim Pedrad, Calum Worthy and Isiah Whitlock Jr. also star.

Gist: Lucy (Demi Moore) is the egotistical megalomaniac CEO of Incredible Edibles, America’s premier provider of edible cutlery. In her infinite wisdom, Lucy leads her staff including her long-suffering assistants, Freddie (Karan Soni) and Jess (Jessica Williams), on a corporate team-building caving weekend to New Mexico. When disaster strikes, not even their useless guide, Brandon (Ed Helms), can save them. Trapped underground by a cave-in, this mismatched and disgruntled group must pull together in order to survive.

Production Co./Producers: Snoot Entertainment’s Jessica Calder and Keith Calder, Mike Falbo, Ed Helms
