Gamer is a movie about a futuristic world where MMORPGs become reality. The synopsis for Gamer as described by IMDb:

“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.”

Gerard Butler plays the main protagonist (as he does in the game ‘Slayers’ in the movie) but I’m not entirely sold on this movie being anything spectacular. It debuts in the US in a few days so here’s hoping it comes to our shores… but in the meantime, check out the game you can really come to life in here as part of the promotion for the movie. Who’s playing who? Hmm, the mind boggles…
