Back in March SLiTHER and Guardians of the Galaxy‘s James Gunn announced that he’s entered pre-production on a new film penned he wrote, The Belco Experiment, which is being directed by Wolf Creek‘s Greg McLean!
“The story revolves around the American Belco company in South America which is mysteriously sealed off at the beginning of a work day,” explains Gunn, “and its employees are ordered to kill each other or be killed themselves. This starts an escalation of violence, where we discover the true nature of each and every Belco employee.”
Gunn revealed today that Tony Goldwyn, the only good thing about ABC’s god-awful “Scandal”, has been cast as the C.O.O. of the Belko Corporation.
Tony will play Barry Norris, says Gunn. Norris is a guy who is used to being in charge at the Belko Building in South America, so it isn’t easy for him to start taking orders when the office employees are mysteriously forced to either start killing each other or be killed.
It will be produced by Gunn, and Peter Safran, who produced Annabelle and The Conjuring. MGM will be financing.
The Belco Experiment is currently in pre-production and will be shooting in Bogota, Colombia in early June of this year.
