The Project has a hilarious plot

A Recipe for Seduction is a 15 minute short movie that is, in reality, what the ad industry calls a “branded content collaboration” from Lifetime, KFC, and the restaurant chain’s ad agency Wieden+Kennedy Portland (per AdWeek). The mini-movie will debut on Lifetime this Sunday, Dec. 13, at noon. The plot is an intentional nod to Lifetime’s always-melodramatic plots, and focuses on a young heiress who, rather than accepting the suitor her scheming mother has chosen for her, falls in love with a still-unknown Colonel Sanders, a chef who is just starting out with a dream and a secret: a fried chicken recipe. 

We wish we were kidding, but we’re not. Actually, we don’t even wish we were kidding. We know where we’ll be Sunday at noon. Right in front of the TV with some popcorn. Who doesn’t have fifteen minutes to spare for such cinematic genius?

The film, entitled, enticingly, A Recipe For Seduction, stars Lopez as the leading man. The name of the leading man? None other than Colonel Harland Sanders. Yes, the KFC guy. Really. (via MarketingDive.com).
