Report: Hollywood Is Rebooting The Office Into The Office Cinematic Universe (TOCU) Because Everything Is Stupid Now

Okay, they're not creating The Office Cinematic Universe. I don't think. But then, come on, you know if they're making one Office reboot, they're also going to be rebooting Parks & Rec and tying it into The Office this time.

I know we keep saying "Hollywood is officially out of ideas" but if they can endlessly repeat themselves, why can't we?

According to Puck journalist Matt Belloni, a reboot of The Office is in the works with U.S. showrunner Greg Daniels set to return.

However, nothing has been confirmed by NBC, the show's original network. Could a reboot end up on NBC? What about Peacock? When the writers' strike is officially over, we'll likely hear official news about The Office reboot. Back in February 2023, Susan Rovner, the chairman of entertainment content at NBCUniversal TV and streaming, told The Hollywood Reporter that she was "standing by with opening arms for "whatever Greg Daniels" decided to do with The Office.

Greg has been open about his uncertainty regarding a reboot of the beloved comedy. "It was such a perfect thing that I would hesitate to open it up," Greg told EW in 2019. "We got the chance to end it the way we wanted to end it. It wasn't like we were interrupted in the middle of a run or something. So in a sense, it's completely an artistic whole. But, that said, I don't know, the cast every now and then talks about getting back together in some form, but I don't see it being a reboot like the way Will & Grace was rebooted."

After The Office left Netflix for Peacock, NBC's streaming service, Greg told E! News that a reunion was "more likely now," but there were "no plans" at that time. He continued, "People are more open to it now it seems like. I think the issue is what is left to say about the characters. I don't know, it's still pretty vague."


When asked about a potential reboot in 2022, he revealed why he couldn't just bring the same show back. "When people hear 'reboot,' they think it's the exact same show. I don't think that would work," he told The Hollywood Reporter in 2022. "I also think that the content was very much pitched for that period of time, when people weren't as sensitive to what is giving offense to people so that you could have a boss who kept putting his foot in it. You could feel that the content was sort of helping people see things as being offensive that they might not have seen as offensive before, because they were just used to it. Now, everybody's much more aware of how offensive certain things are. We're in a different place in the cycle of consciousness-raising."

The showrunner also admitted what he would take from the original series. "The part I would take is the documentary format and the idea that it is an examination from a documentarian's perspective. I wouldn't try to redo it," he added.

In more Hollywood news, Bounding Into Comics reports that Forbes has again used the trick of getting hold of the UK tax filings to find a movie's budget. They report that the budget so far is $209 million, and that was only partly through the production. Costs will rise to $300 million or more, and then they will spend at least $100 million on marketing.

Forbes says that the movie will need to make at least $336 million to break even. As WDW-Pro and Culture Casino point out, that is "disinformation." With the movie likely to cost $400 million or more with marketing costs, and with the studio receiving about half of all ticket sales, the movie will have to make $800-$900 million to break even.

Prognosis: Negative.

Chances that Rachel Zegler can be successfully silenced by Disney so that they don't have a gaffe a week to deal with? Unlikely! Though they have, in good Patriarchy style, shut that very loud woman up for the past few months.

Even Gen Z girls are making fun of Zegler and Disney:

I really doubt this is true, but just for the sake of completeness, the Inside the Magic blog is reporting the rumor, just the rumor, that Zegler has been fired from Snow Beige and will be recast.

If Disney really wanted to cut its losses here, it wouldn't just recast Zegler, it would cancel the entire film.

Which has has also been rumored/claimed by the Inside the Magic blog, on September 4. But there's no confirmation of that.

Give the strikes, studios can use the legal doctrine of force majeure to cancel contracts. That doctrine states that if a contract is unfulfillable due to circumstances beyond your control -- Act of God, war, etc. -- you can unilaterally cancel the contract without consequences. The strikes should count as force majeure, and studios have reportedly been letting people go. Supposedly the two male Rick and Morty writers who delivered two big Marvel disappointments were fired from the Avengers sequels. Supposedly. There hasn't been confirmation about this, just rumors.

So Disney could end this already-failed production. But they probably will not.

If you read the article, it doesn't match the headline. Both the headline and the article are piss poorly written, but the actual "letting go" is around Zegler's casting in Paddington 3.

6 Joe Biden didn't steal classified documents. There were just faulty processes in place by nameless unidentifiable bureaucrats. No there, there.

and according to the story, the investigation “has grown into a sprawling examination of Obama-era security protocols and internal White House processes.” Right there, alarm bells should be going off. The investigation may have expanded, but is it really about Joe Biden anymore, or is it about Obama administration security protocols? When you read between the lines, it sounds like the burglar is getting off the hook because the home he robbed wasn’t locked.

12 Here's the text:

Now, ahead of the release of Disney’s Snow White, Rachel Zegler has been dropped from another project.
As reported by The Hollywood Handle, Zegler is no longer set to star in Paddington 3. This series of films starring the loveable bear has grown into one of the most successful family-friendly franchises. The second film has maintained one of the highest critic scores of all time on Rotten Tomatoes, with the third film also expected to be a big hit. Zegler was revealed to be attached to the upcoming film a few months ago but has since been removed from the project."

The headline in the link you linked to is even worse than the Inside the Magic headline, which was just unclear. The headline you linked to just simply doesn't match the article at all.

Yeah, the rule of thumb is "retail ticket sales need to be at least double the production, marketing and distribution costs." That is going to be a tall order for Faux White.

And that's okay. It used to be, anyway. Home video, video rentals, TV syndication, etc. were all long-term revenue streams that could turn a flop into something not too bad, or even into a hit over a long enough timeline. Not anymore. Now it's PVOD and then streaming, often too quickly. The box office is, ironically, more important than it ever has been since the advent of home video.

They probably can't do either. To get rid of her, they will have to re-shoot most of the movie. The cost would probably climb to the neighborhood of $550 million and they'd have to spend even *more* on marketing due to the PR disaster that would result. No chance.

As to just killing it, maybe. They probably have contracts requiring them to release it and those will get expensive fast if they shit-can it. And the UK will claw back the subsidies, which on a movie this big are probably in the neighborhood of $50 million. Canceling this thing would probably cost more than marketing and distributing it, and they'd end up with nothing.

This whole claim - both the "recast Zegler" and the "don't release it at all" stuff - smells like bullshit.

68 Off Topic - On the sidebar, Weird Dave, Brooks Robinson was not the greatest 3rd baseman of all time. He was the 3rd baseman who played the greatest in the world series showcasing his glove, which was stellar, but was not even the best defensively among the best 3rd basemen of his age (Santo's field adjusted fielding stats are better than Robinson's, and Robinson couldn't carry Santos bat - or Schmidt's or Musial's.)

He was a great defender. And I enjoyed the hell out of him playing in the post season with those great Orioles teams. Everyone's day comes, sad to see many of the guys I enjoyed watching in my youth have that final moment arrive, which reminds me my day draws closer. Sounds like a real stand up guy. He will be missed.

70 Well, of course Atherton doesn't mind being objectified. She's a professional actress. She's quite pretty. Nice picture, James Madison. I cannot say, however, that I'm sorry to have missed her in some movie
in which her character is kidnapped and abused in several graphic nude scenes.[21] The role required her to be handcuffed to a bed and wear a ball gag in her mouth throughout. She requested that she be left tied to the bed even when the camera was not on her to help her performance"-'From Wkilpedia

She was also a big supporter of the " Me Too" movment" What a champ!

83 The Office was a good show for its time, but I can't imagine it being any good as a re-boot in 2023.

The humor of the show was how absurd (and yet somewhat believable) Michael and the other characters int he office were.

That would not be believable today.

They could shoot one episode, where Michael does his shtick, and it ends with him going to HR, who had pulled up his Tweets from 5 years ago where he said "women shouldnt compete in mens sports" and him getting unceremoniously fired.

The end.

115 The Office's Rainn Wilson had a 5 episode show, entitled Rainn Wilson and the Geography of Bliss, (season 1) on Peacock during May 2023. Though well rated by Rotten Tomatoes and others, I managed only one of the five shows.

"As a self-described mope, Rainn has a deeply personal interest in unlocking the secrets to happiness." Way, way too kind imo but there must be a market. Based on that and a current tv commercial featuring pre-teens imitating a few of the more popular characters from the original show, I can see an investor try a redo of The Office.

oh I see. no I doubt the state has anything in there anymore. last time they cleared everything out of the stores.

what I hope WILL happen is the next time things die down and the stores open and some yoots decide to pull this garbage again, city residents will STOP THEM (because otherwise no liquor for weeks or months)

181 I'd love to see hollyweird completely collapse in its own filth but what if these Forbes "tricks" revealing what is claimed to be actual production expenses are simply "Hollywood accounting" where these corrupt scum inflate costs so as to show huge losses so as to limit payouts to actors and to the IRS. I just don't trust any story from these hacks.

182 Ive recently seen more interesting TV and movies come out of India and Korea than Hollywood. Netflix now thinks Im East Asian as all my recommendations come from there. And Im good with that.

They could reboot Lancelot Link but they'd have to recast all new chimps as the original cast is all dead.

you knew where I could find a captcha plugin for my comment form?
I'm using the same blog platform as yours and I'm having difficulty finding one?

Thanks a lot!
