Monday Morning Trailer Fun: Visioneers
June 9th, 2008 | 10:03 am est |
Those who prefer their comedy served nice and quirky are sure to be familiar with the name Zach Galifinackis (if you’re not, you may want to take a look at his work for yourself since words in a blog can’t really do it justice), though to this point in his career the ivory tickling comic has been relegated primarily to supporting performances.
Thankfully, with Visioneers, that all seems set to change.
In the film, Galifinackis plays George Washington Winsterhammerman, a Level Three Visioneer at The Jeffers Corporation - the largest and most successful business in the history of mankind. The reason that the Jeffers Corporation has been so successful is its strict philosophy of happiness through mindless productivity. Lately, however, people all around Winsterhammerman have been literally exploding due to unhappiness. When Winsterhammerman begins experiencing a series of increasingly surreal dreams that his doctor believes to be a sign of impending detonation, the previously unquestioning office drone is suddenly prompted to reevaluate his passionless existence.

Any idea who performs the song? Sounds Jon Brion-y to me (which would make sense).
The rumor is that the music in this trailer is by Tim Delaughter from The Polyphonic Spree.
