Burger King forks over $10MM to make movie
July 10, 2006
cinematical.com: Burger King is working with the advertisement firm Crispin Porter & Bogusky to create a movie centered on its mascot. Currently, there is only a partially written script and no director, cast or studio. No plot was given either, but the firm says it will take place in an apartment above a Burger King and will be a cross between Napoleon Dynamite, Garden State, Raising Victor Vargasand What's Eating Gilbert Grape?, intentionally avoiding the kind of dumb comedy featured in another fast-food-advertisement of a movie, Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle. The budget will be under $10 million and the movie will not feature any big-name stars.
