    Burger Kings introduces ‘Sober Whopper’ to curb hangover this new year

    Mumbai: New year’s evening is often associated with indulgence followed by a whopper of a hangover the next morning. So this new year, Burger King India has introduced the #SoberWhopper, which has been specially curated for guests to enjoy the first-hand experience of 1 January.

    Conceptualised and executed by FoxyMoron (part of the Zoo Media network), the #SoberWhopper campaign will be promoted with a digital film. The brand has activated the #SoberWhopper campaign on social media. 

    “Burger King as a brand has a unique way of connecting with its TG of GenZ and millennials,” said Zoo Media & FoxyMoron co-founder Pratik Gupta on the brand campaign. “While most brands focus on bringing in the new year, Burger King in its signature humour and topical lens, decided to focus on the unique touchpoint of the customer’s sentiment the morning after, when all the fun and frolic is over, and all you want is great food.”

    “Our strategy is to constantly hack contemporary moments and culture. The #SoberWhopper was designed to ensure that no matter how hard our guests party, they can start their new year on a Whopper note,” said chief marketing officer Kapil Grover.

    The limited-time ‘Sober Whopper’ is exclusively available on the Burger King mobile app between 28 December and 5 January 2022, said the statement.

    ‘Hangover’ director Todd Phillips begins shooting for ‘Arms & the Dudes’

    MUMBAI: Principal photography is underway on Warner Bros. Pictures’ Arms & the Dudes, starring Oscar nominee Jonah Hill and Miles Teller.

     

    The Hangover trilogy director and Oscar nominee Todd Phillips is directing the film.

     

    Based on a true story, Arms & the Dudes follows two friends in their early 20s (Hill and Teller) living in Miami during the Iraq War who exploit a little-known government initiative that allows small businesses to bid on U.S. Military contracts. Starting small, they begin raking in big money and are living the high life. But the pair gets in over their heads when they land a $300 million deal to arm the Afghan Military – a deal that puts them in business with some very shady people, not the least of which turns out to be the U.S. Government.

     

    Phillips directs from a screenplay he co-wrote with Jason Smilovic, and Stephen C. Chin, based on the Rolling Stone article by Guy Lawson. Phillips and Bradley Cooper, under the banner of their 22nd & Green Productions, and Mark Gordon, under the banner of The Mark Gordon Company, are producing the film. The executive producers are David Siegel and Bryan Zuriff.

     

    Filming began on location in Romania, and shooting is also being accomplished in Las Vegas, Southern California, Miami, and in Morocco.

     

    Arms & the Dudes reunites Phillips with several of his collaborators from The Hangover trilogy, including director of photography Lawrence Sher, production designer Bill Brzeski and editor Jeff Groth. Joining the team is costume designer Michael Kaplan.

     

    The film will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment company.

  • Stuntman launches legal action against Warner Bros

    Stuntman launches legal action against Warner Bros

    MUMBAI: An Australian stuntman, who suffered serious brain injuries while filming Warner Bros Hangover: Part Two in Thailand, has initiated legal action against the studio.

    Scott McLean was doubling for Ed Helms during a car-chase sequence when his head smashed into a moving vehicle, leaving him with a huge gash over the right side of his head and flesh torn from his skull.

    The stuntsman, who according to his legal representatives is likely to suffer “permanent brain and physical injuries”, is suing for unspecified damages, it is understood.

    The clip he was filming shows the movie‘s stars being chased in a taxi by two Russian gangsters on motorbikes. In his lawsuit, the stuntman claims that the action sequence needed “precision and timing” but stunt coordinator Russell Solberg changed the timing just after they had started performing the stunt.

    “Solberg commanded to the driver of the automobile in which plaintiff Scott McLean was a passenger, that the speed of his vehicle be increased significantly to a speed unsafe for the stunt, thus resulting in a major collision,” McLean claimed in his lawsuit.

    In a statement Warner Bros said, “We were shocked and saddened by this accident and have been working closely with Scott and his family throughout his treatment and recovery. We have offered continual support since the accident occurred and we are working together to try and resolve any outstanding issues.”
