Michael Rooker cast in The Belko Experiment

The James Gunn-written and produced THE BELKO EXPERIMENT continues to piece together a fantastic cast, announcing earlier today that John C. McGinley had joined the already impressive line-up. The film didn’t stop there, however, as the Greg McLean-directed thriller just nabbed the brilliant Michael Rooker. Awesome!

Rooker plays Bud Melks, the head of maintenance in the Belko building. He’s not a racist thug like Merle in The Walking Dead, and he doesn’t have a flying arrow like Yondu in Guardians of the Galaxy – in fact, he’s a pretty nice guy – so he’s ill-equipped to deal with the mysterious forces who start making all of the employees in Belko start killing each other unless they want to be killed themselves.

The film follows an…

American company in South America that is mysteriously sealed off at the beginning of a workday, and its employees are ordered to kill each other or be killed themselves. This starts an escalation of violence, where we discover the true nature of each and every Belko employee.

Gunn is producing with Peter Safran. Also starring is John Gallagher, Jr., Tony Goldwyn and Melonie Diaz.
