From the show The Office, this is a movie within a TV show, about Michael Scott writing a screenplay which is discovered by the gleeful office mates who do a table read of the screenplay to poke fun at its silliness. Episode 2:7
The joke's on them as the screenplay is actually "made into a movie" years later which stars all the co-workers of The Office, past and present. Michael is very thin-skinned about it and is upset if he preceives that people don't like it. Episode 7:17
Late last year, the full movie dropped and you can watch it right here:
It's a parody/spoof of every 80s and 90s action movie you can imagine. Some elements include:
Die Hard
Batman
Goldfinger
Shawshank Redemption
Karate Kid
Independence Day
Who Framed Roger Rabbit?
Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Lethal Weapon
Some talent involved: Starring Steve Carrel, John Krasinski, Jenna Fisher, Rashida Jones, plus voice over by Morgan Freeman, music by Billy Joel.
Wonder what the budget would be if you had to hire these actors on their current contract? Instead of Before they were Big?
