Cam Gigandet recently talked to MTV about his upcoming movie “The Experiment,” a psychological thriller based on the German movie “Das Experiment.”

“I just finished a movie in Iowa called ‘The Experiment’ with Adrien Brody and Forest Whitaker,” the “Twilight” star said of the remake, which also stars Maggie Grace and Clifton Collins Jr. “We shot that in Iowa, in Des Moines, and that was a blast. ”

“It’s a retelling of the Stanford prison experiment that happened in the ’70s, ” explained Gigandet, who plays one of the test subjects. “It’s a great little indie, and it was really fun. ”

“It was a tough shoot, ” he revealed. “I mean, we were in the middle of nowhere in a jail cell. But, it should be good. ”

And for fans of the German film, Gigandet was quick to insist that his “Experiment” (written and directed by “Prison Break” mastermind Paul Scheuring) will walk a fine line between honoring the original and taking it to the next level of madness.

“It’s similar; it’s a much more real version, ” insisted Gigandet. “It’s much dirtier. It’s grittier. Yeah, it’s not as Hollywood-ed up. It’s very dark and dirty. ”
