I was browsing the net, when WOAH, what is this movie? and how come I have never heard of it?! I came across this interesting movie trailer. The movie is called simply Gamer, it stars Gerard Butler, Ludacris, and the guy from Dexter, Michael C Hall.
Writen and directed by the Crank movie creators, Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor. This is also probably the first trailer to be available on Xbox Live Marketplace instead of on the internet. Of course it wasn't long after it was online for all to see. Check it out, it looks like a fun 80's type action movie showcasing what gaming in the future could be. Imagine life like First Person Shooters??
Official plot synopsis: Gamer is a high-concept action thriller set in the near future, a time when mind-control technology has taken society by storm. Humans control other humans in a mass-scale, multiplayer online game. Reclusive billionaire Ken Castle (Michael C. Hall) has created the controversial form of entertainment, “Slayers,” a hugely popular game that allows millions to act out their innermost fantasies and desires - online - in front of a global audience. Gaming has evolved into a terrifying new dimension… mind control… mind manipulation… people playing people!
At the center is Kable (Gerard Butler), the superstar and cult hero of “Slayers,” the savage, ultra-violent first-person shooter game. Kable is controlled by Simon, a young gamer with a rock star status who continues to defy all odds by guiding Kable to victory each week. Taken from his family, imprisoned and forced to fight against his will, the modern day gladiator must survive long enough to escape the game to free his family, regain his identity, and to save mankind from Castle’s ruthless technology.
Also co-staring in the movie is Peter Petrelli from Heroes on NBC himself: Milo Ventimiglia! Also Alison Lohman, John Leguizama, Efren Ramirez (Pedro from Napoleon Dynamite), and Terry Crews.
I didn't find a website for the movie yet. Gamer is currently scheduled for a September 4th, 2009 release.
