This will be a remake of the 1988 John Carpenter movie, which was adapted from the short story, "Eight O'Clock in the Morning." What if instead of a drifter searching for job, the main character is a college grad scheduled for a job interview in Los Angeles? In modern-day Los Angeles, college grad, Robert Piper, is scheduled for a job interview for one of those superficial suit-and-tie jobs. On the city streets, Robert meets a homeless man who's part of some kind of cult, in which they claim that they know the reasons behind the rise of unemployment and pollution. After witnessing a movement gone wrong, he discovers a mysterious pair of sunglasses. When he puts them on, everything is in black and white, and he sees a billboard that has only one word in big bold letters: "OBEY!" When he takes them off, the billboard is advertising a new computer. With the sunglasses on, Robert sees that every piece of media (billboards, murals, TV shows, radio broadcasts, newspapers, magazines, dollar bills) is equipped with subliminal messages ("Obey!" "Marry and Reproduce!" "Buy!" "No Independent Thought!" "Purchase!" "Respect Authority!" "Watch TV!" "Eat, Sleep, and Be Merry!"). Also with the sunglasses on, he sees that everyone who is upper-class are actually aliens in disguise.
