Paul Scheuring to Direct ‘The Experiment’

Paul Scheuring is reportedly working on a new project with some big name cast members!!

Scheuring is set to direct The Experiment, from his own screenplay adaptation of the 2001 German film “Das Experiment,” which centers on a group of ordinary men recruited to take part in a psychological research study.

The men are divided up into two groups (guards and prisoners) and put into prison. They are then studied how they react to their assigned roles, and to positions of power and control. Of course experiment goes sour as the guards go drunk with power, and develop authoritarian tendencies, going to great lengths to hide their abusive actions from the researchers in order to keep their power trip going. The prisoners also band together in order to resist, and results in quite a bit of action.

Adrien Brody will play the leader of the rebellious prisoners while Forest Whitaker has been cast as one of the abusive and corrupted guards. Cam Gigandet and Elijah Wood have also signed onto the script.
