The Walking Dead star Steven Yeun has signed on for the lead role in Mayhem, an upcoming action thriller from director Joe Lynch (Everly), where he’ll star alongside Samara Weaving (The Babysitter).
The Hollywood Reporter reveals that the film “tells of a virus capable of making people act out their wildest impulses that infects a corporate law office on the very day attorney Derek Saunders (Yeun) is framed by a co-worker and wrongfully fired. Trapped in the quarantined building, our hero is forced to fight tooth and nail for not only his job, but also his life.”
“It’s not every day you get to throw action, sci-fi, horror, drama and even satire in the genre blender and hit puree, but Matias Caruso’s script, combined with a gung-ho cast and crew — especially Steven and Samara — will make for a deliciously dangerous and exciting cinematic smoothie … with a hell of a kick.”
