Like another, more interesting movie?

I like the trappings of a story like this because it does have to stay interesting and suspenseful. Stephen King's at his best when he pulls this off - there's Misery, and then he also has two novels that only have a single character.
The trouble with this austerity is that Dan and Jordan's ideas sound good.

That's the brilliance of it.
So basically, Phonebooth.
I didn't see that. Premise was appealing, but Schumacher plus Farrell didn't sound promising -- was it good?

I'd like it if we didn't hear the other end and that it was still somehow suspenseful, like in Babel
What part of Babel are you thinking about here?

Maybe 10 minutes of phone talk, 10 minutes of slapstick window-washers, 10 minutes of phone, etc.
Jenny, I will not be offended if you skip this movie. Though maybe the guy will get disembowled at the end or something, if that helps.

And there's another Hartley movie that uses the same script for three different scenes, right? Haven't seen any of his except the first one.

And only one of them would look the same on the plate as it did before. That's why seabugs are weird.
I like Jordan's idea of ignoring plane crashes, etc. You could do another take on 9/11, one showing America's complacency or somesuch.

Maybe you could send some zombies or evil robots rampaging through the office.
Chamber movies... that's a very descriptive term. I've never known what to call those types of movies so thanks.

Off topic: What is it called when in the middle of a novel, there's another smaller story that's related to the larger story but isn't the main focus of it? The only example I can think of is the one that prompted me to ask the question - in All the King's Men, Jack Burden tells the story of Cass Mastern, which is long and relevant but also a separate story as far as tone, time, place, etc. goes.
