The director of the Wolf Creek movies, Greg McLean, has a new horror film set in a South American corporation where employees have to kill each other. The writer-director of Guardians of the Galaxy, James Gunn, has announced on Facebook that production is starting in Colombia on The Belco Experiment, which he has written and McLean will direct. "The story revolves around the American Belco company in South America which is mysteriously sealed off at the beginning of a work day and its employees are ordered to kill each other or be killed themselves," Gunn writes. Shooting – possibly in more ways than one – starts in Bogota in June.
