Today we were sent a brand new 60 second trailer for GAMER, which I’m sure you’re all aware is ready to dropkick our faces off in a couple weeks. The flick comes from CRANK directors Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor, so you know it’s going to be at least a little nutso.
‘Gamer’ is a high-concept action thriller set in a near future when gaming and entertainment have evolved into a terrifying new hybrid. Humans control other humans in mass-scale, multi-player online games: people play people…for keeps. Mind-control technology is widespread, and at the heart of the controversial games is its creator, reclusive billionaire Ken Castle (Michael C. Hall). His latest brainchild, the first-person shooter game “Slayers,” allows millions to act out their most savage fantasies online in front of a global audience, using real prisoners as avatars with whom they fight to the death.
GAMER stars Gerard Butler, Michael C. Hall, John Leguizamo, Ludacris, Milo Ventimiglia, Alison Lohman, Kyra Sedgwick, and Zoe Bell. It opens on SEPTEMBER 4th.
