Bringing to mind the saying "All good things must come to an end," James Gunn has announced that we've reached the final installment of what had once seemed to be an endless stream of casting news for THE BELKO EXPERIMENT, a thriller he wrote about an
American company in South America that is mysteriously sealed off at the beginning of a workday, its employees 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.
Fitting for a finale, Gunn went big with this last cast reveal, naming five actors in one post. They are James Earl as Evan, the sole security guard in the Belko building and thus the only one there who has a gun; Brent Sexton as Vince Agostino, the head of human resources; Mikaela Hoover as Vince's assistant Raziya Memarian; Joe Fria as Robert Hickland, who is frustrated by his mundane life in middle management; and Benjamin Byron Davis as Antonio Fowler, an unpleasant guy to be around even before the killing starts.
Earl, Sexton, Hoover, Fria, and Davis will star in the film alongside the previously announced John Gallagher Jr., Tony Goldwyn, Adria Arjona, Michael Rooker, Melonie Diaz, John C. McGinley, Sean Gunn, Owain Yeoman, David Dastmalchian, Gail Bean, Valentine Miele, and Steve Agee.
The casting news may be over, but we can take comfort in the fact that director Greg McLean and the cast are currently filming Gunn's script in Bogota, Colombia, so hopefully the good things are really just beginning in the case of THE BELKO EXPERIMENT.
