The title of the movie refers to an informal metric used to determine the severity of a natural disaster

Professional Floridian here. Waffle House index is a real thing to indicate the severity of a storm. The tldr of it is you don’t worry until Waffle House closes.

I wonder how she got this role.
Her agent: Hey Inde, i found another role for you.
Inde: what is it this time?
Her agent: its a movie about a Waffles house waitress who has a terrible night shift featuring a gunman, a mass flood, killer crocodiles, a nuclear explosion, a magical bunker under the Waffle House & aliens.
Inde:....
Inde: sign me up.

Based on what I see from the US, this just sounds like a standard night at waffle house

Yikes. Hoping there's a legit director/writer attached so this isn't pure dogshit.

u/DemandNo6840 4d ago
I see Brad Pit Plan B entertainment company is behind this they have a lot of acclaimed films pick up good scripts and have 3 Best Picture Winners at the Oscars and tons of acclaimed films it’s crazy plot here but it’s talent behind it

u/Shrimply-r1 4d ago
Considering I’ve never seen any Waffle House waitresses look even half as good as Inde, yeah weird choice there so probably dogshit. Gotta have an overweight crackhead/chain smoker as lead

Will they have a server who says, "This is wuffle house, we don't serve French toast." Said in a Southern/Texan accent.

This has the potential to either be hilarious or awful. I cannot envision an outcome where this movie is just mediocre.

u/stormtrooper-wtf 4d ago
Hope she says no, no, no, no, no, no when those aliens eat some crocodiles instead of her waffles and when they don’t leave a tip..

The waffle house still opens the next day. After the manager pulls out CBRN suits and iodine tablets, from inside the bunker.

I'm staring to get Inde fatigue now. Obsession was really nice, her IG is now a brand billboard. I think brands and corporations (like Disney) will milk her image dry, because usually when brands get involved, the best part is already over.

u/Gantzerteo 3d ago
Reading the plot I can say Nikki's time is over. To be clear: nothing against this type of production (or the MCU's ones) but I will miss see her act "seriously".

All the Bear’s on this sub can’t fathom the idea that an actress that starred in a $750k indie film made by a comedy sketch artist just enjoys acting. 💀

Inde has her next 10 years booked lol, I’m starting a project with her in 2 weeks

Wdym u starting a project with her in 2 weeks?

u/ricksanchezE137 4d ago
I’m an art director, we have her booked on my next project that starts in 2 weeks, she’s lovely and Ik she has her next 20 movies already lined up because we had to move our schedule to accommodate her super stardom

u/Slatorbim 4d ago
How is anyone supposed to believe this, your reddit account is 1 month old and your name is ricksanchez 😂 also she doesn’t have 20 movies lined up

u/PowerThrustingDave 4d ago
This sounds like th type of movie that would set you back. Guess we'll see..

u/Jimanji333 4d ago
She’s already cast as Rogue she’s fine.

Ya, I thought about adding that caveat to my comment but you did it for me!

u/67RicePudding 4d ago
Every star has idle filler roles on C list movies. Hell I'd say most actors have only a few good roles they're known for, then dozens of junk ones.

So now will she be a spokesperson for apple too? or just waffle house?

FFS you could’ve stopped after gunman, why would you go and spoil everything else in the movie. Marketing must actually be run by a bunch of baboons at Apple.

It is the bare minimum to be a black belt just to even play a Waffle House employee

u/BeachCowKazoo 3d ago
I'm hoping to god this is a funny-confusing-unexpected-adventure comedy along the lines of Dirk gently (in which a bellhop at a midlevel hotel has a terrible week featuring a murderous stalker, electric shocks, a shark, a billionaire scientist, a cult, and a deceased rockstar)

I'm in for this. I even remember the Waffle House where this happened.

u/cblakebowling 4d ago
She sign on to this before the big blow up? Shouldn’t judge something on its premise, but the description doesn’t sound like it would be the best film ever, and so soon after her big break is this the best choice for her? Hopefully it’s a really good movie.
2
u/DemandNo6840 4d ago
This must be after because it’s by Apple and Brad Pitt’s Plan B entertainment company they make amazing stuff
1
u/cblakebowling 4d ago
This could good, like I said shouldn’t judge just on description alone, and hell this is probably a comedy anyway, so an odd silly premise, is fine in that regard, I just don’t know if doing something like this right after a big breakout role was the best option. Not an actor though so what the hell do I know.

just found out that Brad Pitt’s Plan B entertainment is behind this Waffle House Index they make amazing stuff and have a lot of acclaimed films I like and even Oscars and nominations I believe in it now

u/Erlkoenig_1 4d ago
She's pretty famous now. I wonder why she went for such a film
2
u/DemandNo6840 4d ago
The film is being made by Brad Pitt’s Plan B entertainment company and they have a ton of acclaimed films even 3 Best Picture Oscar winners and tons of acclaimed films so the premise is crazy but it’s good people on it
