Last month James Gunn
announced that the script for his horror flick The Belko Experiment had been
picked up with production scheduled to start next year in Bogotá, Colombia, and
with Wolf Creek director Greg McLean helming. Gunn subsequently
announced that John Gallagher Jr. (Short Term 12, The Newsroom) had joined the
project as Mike Pelk, one of the film's leads.
Today, the filmmaker revealed
via Facebook that Tony Goldwyn has joined the project, and will play the C.O.O.
of the Belko Corporation.
He's the President of the United States on Scandal and now he's the C.O.O. of the Belko Corporation - I'm excited to
announce The Belko Experiment's second official cast member, Tony Goldwyn.
Tony will play Barry Norris. 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.
The Belko Experiment is an
action-horror-thriller, but it's important to me and the director Greg McLean
that it's first and foremost about characters - which is why we needed to get
the best actors possible. I've been a big admirer of Tony's talent for a long
time. He's an outstanding actor with an incredible pedigree, and we couldn't
have asked for a better person to join myself, Greg, my fellow producer Peter
Safran, and actor John Gallagher, Jr. on this journey.
We'll be shooting in Bogota, Colombia starting in
June. This is going to be a fun ride. Stay tuned tomorrow for yet ANOTHER new
cast member to be announced here on my Facebook page.
