Michael Rooker and James Gunn have been quite the talented tandem. They first hooked up on Gunn’s Slither in 2006 and have been great friends and creative compatriots ever since. Rooker’s career was pushed to a whole new level after he appeared in Guardians of the Galaxy and he'll soon be seen in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. Before the Marvel sequel hits screens in May, though, we have a chance to witness another Gunn-Rooker collaboration, the bombastically brilliant The Belko Experiment.
The Belko Experiment is written by James Gunn and directed by Greg McLean, and tells the story of the Bogotá, Columbia-based titular company. One day, where everything seems absolutely normal, the world turns upside down as the windows and doors come crashing down with steel gates that have trapped everyone inside the office building. A voice comes over the intercom and instructs everyone to kill on command. All hell breaks out and the only question left by the end of Gunn’s latest lightning rod is who will emerge alive when all is said and done.
