James Gunn Invites You to The Belko Experiment
James Gunn may be off providing the galaxy with some guardians but he’s still found time to rewrite an old script and place it in the capable hands of Wolf Creek helmer Greg McLean to direct.
Welcome to The Belko Experiment.
Set at a facility of the non-profit Belko company in South America which is mysteriously sealed off at the beginning of a work day, and its employees ordered to either kill each other or be killed themselves thanks to explosive charges in their bonces.
Unsurprisingly, this leads to a lot of sudden vacancies…
Discovering the true nature of the Belko employees, John C. McGinley is socially awkward executive Wendell Dukes, a man who prefers to socialise with friends such as Barry Norris (Tony Goldwyn) and doesn’t enjoy being around his employees. Melonie Diaz plays Dany Wilkins, the new girl at the facility who is about to experience the worst employee orientation of all time. And of course, there is a spot for Michael Rooker, here as maintenance man Bud Melks.
It’s Saw meet Office Space as The Belko Experiment hits cinemas in the US on 17 March next year.
