Four More Join James Gunn’s ‘The Belko Experiment’
James Gunn took to his Facebook page to announce several more castings for his upcoming horror film The Belko Experiment.
Joining the cast are Sean Gunn (Super), Steve Agee (New Girl), Adria Arjona (True Detective), and Owain Yeoman (American Sniper).
Gunn will play, “…Marty Espenscheid, a stoner cafeteria worker who has his own ideas about who is behind Belko.” Agee will portray, “…Marty’s best friend is Chet Valincourt.” Arjona, “…will be playing one of the most pivotal characters in the film, Leandra Jerez, an American of Colombian descent who works as Barry Norris’s Chief Executive Assistant.” Finally, Yeoman will be playing, “…Terry Winters, a British family man, whose relationship to his family at home versus the close friendships he has in Belko are set against each other.”
Michael Rooker (The Walking Dead, Henry: Portrait Of A Serial Killer) is also cast in the film. The cast joins John Gallagher, Jr, Tony Goldwyn, Melonie Diaz, and John C. McGinley. Gunn has written the script and Greg McLean (Rogue, Wolf Creek) will be directing. It will be produced by James Gunn and Peter Safran.
Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.
Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things), Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.
The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).
Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.
Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.
Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.
In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
