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 mean 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.

Paul Scheuring coughs up some info on Prison Break Season 3… If you want more (lots, lots more!), head on over to Prison Break Magazine Issue Six, in the shops now!

“In Season Three, we have a lot of new characters. The logic of the world is going to be a lot different. We are going to feel like the rules have been turned upside-down.”

“Michael Scofield is going to realize that his cerebral qualities are not enough in the new prison. In order to survive, he’s going to have to get in touch with the primal side of his nature.”

“We have a new antagonist that goes by the name of Susan B. Anthony. She will do things in the first couple of episodes that will absolutely shock us.”

“There will be some deaths, some early shockers.”

In this interview with Paul Scheuring, he reveals some insights into Prison Break…

How much of the plot do you plan in advance? For example, did you know when you started to film the first few eps that a pipe was going to be in the way in series 1?
“As a writing staff, we plan ahead for virtually all of the main ‘tentpole’ moments. In the case of the pipe being in the way in season one, we definitely planned that from the outset. Major turning points are always well-scripted in advance. What comes out of T-Bag’s mouth of course isn’t. The structure is largely known in advance, it’s just the smaller particulars that get worked out as we go along.”

How do you think the second season compares to the first?
“They’re two very different beasts. There’ll always be a nostalgia for the first season, because it was first and fresh out of the box. But season two has a scope, a sense of wide-open American lands, that’s sort of fresh in its own right. I guess it’s like having children. They’re different. But you love them the same. Usually.”

Do you know how this season is going to end? Are we going to get a cliff hanger ending?
“Of course and of course!”

Are you still on course to wrap up the main plotlines by the end of this series?
“I’d say about 80 percent of the plotlines are resolved this year. Certainly the mystery behind the president and Terrance Steadman, as well as the President’s fate. And most of our characters’ fates as well.”

How can the plot go on (into a third series) if you’re wrapping up the main plot at the end of the current season?
“Re-invent, just like we did in season 2. The only thing I will say at this stage is that it will be a much more stripped-down, brutal, violent version of the show than we’ve seen in the past. Seasons one and two will seem tame in comparison.”

Vinay Menon from TheStar.com sat down with Paul Scheuring to talk about Season 2, which began shooting in Dallas on the 15th. “Next season is chaos, man. We scatter these guys to the four corners of the country,” Scheuring says. “They are all free. We have let guys literally out of a cage to do what they want to do. And they all have their various end-games which we established in Season 1.”

Scheuring goes on to say that he’s already mapping out the third season. “We have found a way, in principle, to have a reinvention in Season 3 with some of the same characters, but a very different milieu and very different tone. “So it will go on.”

Prison Break creator, Paul Scheuring, revealed to The Star that season 2 of Prison Break would be like American Idol. Eight Fox River prisoners on the run initially, with only one left at the very end. Someone critical in the show will be killed and each Foxy escapist has a different ending.

And yes, do expect a season 3…

As for Prison Break, which will be renamed this summer, Scheuring says he’s already mapping out the third season even though his initial concept was for two years.

“We have found a way, in principle, to have a reinvention in Season 3 with some of the same characters, but a very different milieu and very different tone.
