Michael Rooker Signs On For James Gunn's THE BELKO EXPERIMENT

Wolf Creek director Greg McLean is directing The Belko Experiment, an action/horror thriller written by Guardians of the Galaxy writer/director James Gunn. Gunn, who is a vocal presence on social media, has been announcing the cast members for the movie on Facebook, including John Gallagher, Jr. (The Newsroom, Short Term 12), Melonie Diaz (Fruitvale Station), John C. McGinley (Scrubs), and Tony Goldwyn (Scandal).

Today, Gunn announced that his frequent collaborator Michael Rooker (Guardians of the Galaxy, The Walking Dead, Slither, Cliffhanger) has joined the cast of the film, which revolves around an American company called Belko in South America that's mysteriously sealed off at the beginning of a work day, and its employees are ordered to kill each other or be killed themselves. As the violence escalates, the audience discovers the true nature of every Belko employee. Sounds pretty intense. Filming begins next month, so we'll keep our eyes peeled for more info in between now and then.

We've done three movies, two reality shows, a video game and a web series together, been on a bromantic trip to Paris...
