Fan CastingEGO TRIP (2029)

Owen Chase, a high-profile investigative journalist with a reputation for ruthless ambition and a knack for manipulating people to get what he wants. However, Owen's latest assignment—a high-stakes story on a reclusive billionaire suspected of illegal experiments on human cognition—goes sideways when he’s invited to participate in one of the billionaire’s experiments as part of his "research." Owen accepts, eager for exclusive access, but soon realizes he's signed up for an intense, twisted psychological experiment that blurs the lines between reality and fiction. He finds himself in a luxurious, sprawling mansion where everything around him is a calculated performance—a cast of "actors" embodying different parts of his personality and deepest insecurities. Over days (or is it weeks?), Owen is subjected to illusions, mind games, and encounters with characters who seem to know his every thought, regret, and hidden fear. As Owen struggles to separate reality from manipulation, he realizes that the story isn’t just about the billionaire’s crimes—it’s about Owen himself. He begins to question if he's part of a much larger conspiracy, orchestrated by his own past.
