"Gamer" (Michael C. Hall, Gerard Butler) trailer picspam
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.

You think this looks like one of those really shitty straight-to-dvd action movies about real-life gaming? That's what I thought too, until I saw the trailer. IT WILL BE EPIC. I swear, I'm more excited for this than I was for Star Trek, Watchmen and Transformers 2 (shut up I am allowed to like that movie) combined (not really, but you get my point). MICHAEL C HALL Y'ALL. I hope this gets an IMAX release. Also I am highly amused by the fact that Sam Witwer is in this as a social worker BECAUSE I CAN'T NOT THINK OF HIM AS CRASHDOWN. Apparently, Milo Ventimiglia is in this too, playing a character called Rick Rape (idek) but I haven't spotted him in the trailer :/
I'd say something about Gerard Butler probably having a contract that states he has to be half-naked in every movie he's in, but that would be lame.
HAWT.
