The Office photos from the set

Friday, January 27th, 2012 | 3 comments

Here are some photos of The Office set I took on January 19, 2012. The cast and crew were filming in a different building that day, so I was able to roam freely around the bullpen!

As I requested in an earlier post, I asked you guys if you had any photo requests, so I tried to snap as many of those as I could; thanks for all the great ideas!

I’ll try to post a few photos every day… there are 60 pictures in all.

Dwight Schrute getting his own spin-off?

Wednesday, January 25th, 2012 | 38 comments

Deadline.com is reporting that The Office’s Dwight Schrute (played by Rainn Wilson) may be getting his own show as early as mid-season 2013:

… the proposed spinoff is a family comedy, which was the brainchild of Wilson and The Office executive producer/showrunner Paul Lieberstein. It will have Dwight (Wilson) living at the Schrute family beet farm and bed & breakfast… at its base it will be about a family farm struggling to survive and a family trying to stay together.

Deadline’s report ends with an update on The Office Season 9:

None of the core Office cast members, including Ed Helms, John Krasinksi and Mindy Kaling, have deals for next season, and while the studio can’t formally sign the actors before there is a renewal for the show, it is trying to shore them up in anticipation of a pickup.

The Office as a Counter Strike Source map

Wednesday, January 25th, 2012 | 4 comments

A fan of The Office has created a Counter Strike Source map of the Dunder Mifflin set!

Says creator Blitzkrieg1981: “This easily consumed as much as 500 hours playing and pausing episodes, looking at the office tally and blue prints. I’m not the most experienced css mapper, most of the architect is based on meticulously shaped blocks as the props just didn’t really cut it. PM me if your interested in helping or taking it over; don’t have the time to finish it these days. Need to be experienced, very good at detail, likes The Office and have a shitload of time on their hands.”

Would Dwight love this or what?

Coincidentally, I took video of the Dunder Mifflin set (to be released soon), and Blitzkrieg1981 did an awesome job with the mapping accuracy!

P.S. Here are the blueprints and The Office theme song that are referenced.

Newt vs. Schrute

Friday, January 20th, 2012 | 12 comments

The Daily Show with Jon Stewart recently likened an old photo of Newt Gingrich with one of The Office’s Dwight Schrute:

“Why would you choose me? Because I’m mighty? Cause I’m the manliest man in the office?”
