Here's the scoop on his latest feature film according to the MTV Movies Blog: The Experiment will be directed by Paul Scheuring (Prison Break) from his own screenplay. It’s a remake of the 2001 German film Das Experiment, which centers on a group of ordinary men recruited to take part in a psychological research study. They’re divided up and put into prison. Some land jobs as guards, others are locked up as prisoners, all with the intent of studying how they react to their assigned roles, and to positions of power and control.

The 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 if you suspect things get really ugly, you’d be right.
