Perrin Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 http://www.slashfilm.com/2008/06/16/first-...-buter-in-game/ First Look: Gerard Butler in Game Posted on Monday, June 16th, 2008 at 11:17 am by: Peter Sciretta /Film reader Christopher M sent over the first photo that I’ve ever seen of Gerard Butler in Game. Directed By Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor, the two mad men behind Crank, the story takes place “in the not too distant future.” Kabel (Gerard Butler), a death row inmate, has unwittingly become a pop culture hero. Every week, millions worldwide tune in online to watch him and hundreds of other convicts battle in Slayers, an ultra-violent multi-player online game invented by technological genius Ken Castle (Michael C. Hall). To the wealthy young gamer who controls his every move, Kable is just a sim (simulation) character. To the resistance group that opposes Castle’s games as high-tech slavery, he is a critical element in their battle to take down the inventor. Caught in the crosshairs of two opposing forces and under the command of a teenager’s remote device, Kable must use his extraordinary fighting skills to escape the game, bring down Castle and overthrow the system. Game is currently scheduled for a TBA Fall 2008 release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest whysosilent Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 (edited) I can't wait for this movie! Out of all of Gerry's upcoming movies, this is the one I'm most excited about! Edited June 16, 2008 by whysosilent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shirsan Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 I can't wait for this movie! Out of all of Gerry's upcoming movies, this is the one I'm most excited about!I think that was a misprint about the date, because RockNRolla is due out fall of 2008. I wish that were true then we'd have two more this year, but I doubt it seriously. BooHoo BooHoo. I'm so excited about Halloween I can't stand it. I think RNR is going to be awsome, as Gerry says. By the way, is anyone going to post pics from the convention? I just knew they would be on today. Hurry GALS. I know you had a great time but share soon, OK?

Gold Dust Woman Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 Thanks for the updates. Is it safe to say that "Game" is going to be the official title of this movie? Everywhere I've looked it's been dubbed the "working title". Thanks. ~ Lori Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

razberry Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 I am sooooo psyched to see this movie! The premise sounds a little like The Running Man... on acid. GERRY LOOKS HOT!!!!! Run Gerry Run!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShoeGal Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 Yes, I am SO looking forward to seeing GAME!! This looks like an exciting movie, that will be packed iwith so much action. Especially, with Gerry running around trying to survive in Game. I am so glad that they moved up the release date. I believe that they moved it up last month. I read somewhere last month that the release date for GAME is going to be in December 2008. Nim's Island DVD in August, Rock n' Rolla in October, Game in December, and then The Ugly Truth in April 2009. I like the fact that we get to enjoy a Gerry movie every few months. Gerry is such an amazing actor, and I like the fact that he chooses different roles from different movie genres: musical, historical, action, romantic comedies, kid's movies, animation, and drama. I feel that Gerry is such a impressive actor to be able to play so many different roles, and play them wonderfully!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be great to see Gerry's charming funny side in RNR and then all ruggid and leathel in Game. Oh he knows how to keep his fans happy and always wanting more!

Susan~Sporran Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 And don't forget we get Tales of the Black Freighter on DVD in March 2009 as well. Only his voice, but sometimes that's almost enough (especially if his accent is intact)!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
