The always creepy and intense Clifton Collins Jr. (Star Trek,Crank: High Voltage, The Horsemen) has joined Adrien Brody, Forest Whitaker, Cam Gigandet and Elijah Wood in the psychological thriller The Experiment, for Inferno Entertainment and Magnet Media Group. The film is a remake of Das Experiment, directed by Oliver Hirschbiegel, which centered on a group of ordinary men recruited to take on the roles of guards and prisoners as part of a research study and examined how the effects of assigned roles, power and control affected the participants.

Das Experipment was a great flick. hopefully this will be done as well so a broader audience will see it.

I like the premise, anyone with enough brain cells to enjoy a Psych 101 class should be intrigued by this as long as this director has more skills than Ratner I'm in

I think it's about time Americans learnt how to read subtitles so Hollywood will stop remaking EVERYTHING!!! I don't see any other countries doing this!

Nice generalization of us lazy, weak-minded Americans, Horror Writer! Who do "write" for, 'Stereotype Asshole Weekly?' Maybe we can reach an agreement: we'll ask that the English open a dental office (if you don't know what that is, let us know) and buy a fucking cookbook and we'll learn to read subtitles. Also, soccer is fucking boring.

Agreed on all accounts, coffinjoe. Especially the soccer comment!

The original was genius. Why can't people just watch that?

This sums up the ridiculousness of the remake craze. A number of directors tried to get a movie made about the Stanford prison experiment and all failed. Then a German film (and a great one at that) comes along that's based on the same material and suddenly the money's there? Why not just make a different fucking movie based on the ACTUAL events? One of the previously mentioned attempts was good enough to get Leonardo Dicaprio signed up, so just dig that script up and save everyone the bullshit arguments. PS. Any country that holds baseball as a national passtime doesn't get to call football (Sorry, I mean 'soccer') boring. Also, American Football is just rugby for pussies.

Though I do agree that the generalisation was unfare.

Kinda funny when you think of it. An American remake of a German movie inspired by a American experiment. Thus the circle of life continues.

Oh and Football(soccer) is awesome because of the Hooligans. We need something like that in the US.
