The Experiment
Cam Gigandet has been set to star in «The Experiment,» a remake of the German thriller «Das Experiment» based on a novel written by Mario Giordano and directed by Paul Scheuring.
He will play the role of Chase, a guard.
Synopsis
26 men are chosen to participate in the roles of guards and prisoners in a psychological study that ultimately spirals out of control…
Although it’s based on the acclaimed 2001 mind-bending German movie “Das Experiment,” the film is coming home in a morbid way. “The Experiment” dramatizes the tale of a 1971 series of tests conducted on 24 undergraduates in the basement of a building at Stanford University, as they played the roles of guards and prisoners in a mock prison. Six days after the experiment began, conditions had deteriorated to the point of sadistic and humiliating treatment of the “prisoners,” leading to riots and severe emotional disturbances.
