Casting Begins on Insanitarium

Today the Hollywood Reporter revealed that Jesse Metcalfe, Peter Stormare, Kiele Sanchez, Kevin Sussman and Olivia Munn have been commited to Insanitarium. Now with someone like Metcalfe joining the cast I am already not very interested. But the actual storyline sounds interesting.

The script was written by Midnight Meat Train scribe Jeff Buhler. Metcalfe will play a man who pretends to be crazy in order to save his sister (Sanchez) from being involuntarily hospitalized. Once inside the institute, the siblings discover that a doctor (Stormare) is using his patients like lab rats, forcing them to take a drug that turns them into flesh-eating psychopaths.

No word on when filming will begin. But it was revealed that not only will Jeff Buhler be the scribe but he will also be making his directoral debut as well. This should be interesting. We will see where this one goes.
