'Threat Level Midnight (A Michael Scott Joint)' - Watch the Trailer
by Richard Sharp
After 11 years of filming, editing, re-shooting, and re-editing, Michael Scott finally screened his action magnum opus, “Threat Level Midnight” on last night’s episode of “The Office.”
The short film stars Michael as Agent Michael Scarn, Dwight as Scarn's sidekick Samuel L. Chang and Jim as painted evil-doer "Goldenface."
It’s “Goldfinger” meets “Youngblood” meets “The Maltese Falcon,” with a twist of “Thriller.”
While the production values are a lot higher than you’d expect a “Michael Scott Joint” to have, in its own way, the movie-inside-of-a-show is a special type of comedic meta-narrative genius.
