WALKING DEAD Star Steven Yeun Set to Star in the Action Movie MAYHEM
Steven Yeun, the actor who plays Glenn on The Walking Dead, has landed the lead role in an action movie called Mayhem. He will be joined by Samara Weaving (The Babysitter) in the film. The is a big deal for Yeun because this is his first big leading movie role!
According to Variety, the film tells the story of “a virus that infects a corporate law office on the day attorney Derek Saunders (Yeun) is framed by a co-worker and wrongfully fired. The infection is capable of making people act out their wildest impulses. Trapped in the quarantined building, our hero is forced to savagely fight tooth and nail for not only his job but his life.”
The movie will be directed by Joe Lynch (Knights of Badassdom) from a script written by Matias Caruso. The film project is being produced by Circle of Confusion production company, who also produces The Walking Dead, so it’s easy to see how Yeun landed the gig. I'm excited for him!
There’s no doubt that the actor is stoked about being involved with this project. The last movie that Yeun appeared in was I, Origins, but it was a pretty small role. I’m looking forward to seeing him take on his biggest role yet. Sounds like it will be a fun flick. I'm up for watching Yeun kick some ass!
The movie is set to start production later this month on location in Belgrade, Serbia.
