Melonie Diaz Next to Participate in The Belko Experiment
Shooting begins next month on The Belko Experiment, written by James Gunn (Guardians of the Galaxy, Slither) and directed by Greg McLean (Wolf Creek, Wolf Creek 2), and the cast continues to fill out.
James Gunn took to his Facebook page to announce that Melonie Diaz has joined the cast. As per Gunn…
Have you guys seen Fruitvale Station? Well, I have, and I adored the movie. And one of the things I adored about it the most was the lead actress, Melonie Diaz. Her honest performance was exactly that kind of thing we were looking for for The Belko Experiment. So when she said she was interested in playing Dany Wilkins, one of the leads of the film, I jumped up and down and punched my desk and some trash cans and my assistant Simon with pure joy.
Dany is the new girl at Belko. It’s her first day working in the building, and she really couldn’t have chosen a worst first day, since this is the day the employees are all forced to either kill each other or be killed. (When I was nineteen I worked at Denny’s. On my first day the manager pressured me into trying a Moons Over My Hammy. That was pretty bad, but not as bad as this.)
Anyway, let’s all welcome aboard Melonie. She’ll start shooting with us in Bogota, Colombia in June, with myself, director Greg McLean, my fellow producer Peter Safran, and her fellow cast members John Gallagher, Jr. and Tony Goldwyn.
Stay tuned tomorrow for another cast announcement! PS Melonie, Simon forgives you for the broken nose.
