People on Twitter Had a Lot of Questions About Lifetime/KFC’s Mini Movie
Written by SOURCE on December 7, 2020
Mario Lopez is set to take on the role of Colonel Sanders for Lifetime’s new KFC-themed mini-movie, A Recipe for Seduction, and Twitter has questions.
The network’s new trailer for the project is about as self-aware as a Lifetime movie could possibly be, featuring a murder plot, some sort of affair, and plenty of suitably goofy acting. Lopez appears to play it straight in the trailer, however, simply revealing his name in a line-reading better than anything he delivered during his tenure on Saved By the Bell.
“We’re no strangers to heating things up for the holidays, just like our famous fried chicken-scented fire log. But let’s face it, we could all use a little distraction this holiday season, so why not fill some of your time at home with a suspenseful drama and the comfort of our world-famous fried chicken?” said Andrea Zahumensky, KFC’s CMO. “A Recipe for Seduction is a perfect excuse to curl up at home and escape to your own happily ever after.”
Understandably, Twitter has a lot of questions about the mini-movie. First of all, who conceived such an idea? Second of all… why? Perhaps A Receipe for Seduction, which will run for just 15 minutes, will answer both of these questions when it premieres on Lifetime on Sunday, Dec. 13 at noon ET.
