Description:
GAMER is a high-concept 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 to act out their innermost desires and fantasies - online - and in front of a global audience. Gaming has evolved into a terrifying new dimension … mind control … manipulation … people playing people.
At the center is Kable (300’s Gerard Butler), the superstar and cult hero of “Slayers,” the savage, ultraviolent first person shooter game. Kable is controlled by Simon, a young gamer with rock star status who contiues 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.
Production Notes:
[UPDATED APRIL 17, 2009] Lionsgate renamed this film “Citizen Game” on March 31, 2009. The renaming of the film was an April Fools joke by directors Neveldine and Taylor, according to an April 16 article with Collider.com.
This film is in post production. It was filmed in Albuquerque, New Mexico from November 2007 - February 2008. The title of the film is a “working title” and may be retitled for release.
Interesting Trivia: Mark Neveldine played a cameraman in Ariel Vromen’s short film, Jewel of the Sahara, in which Gerard had the starring role.

Looking forward to this movie, but it takes so long for GB’s movies to come out! This movie started filming in Nov 2007. Gerry, quit making your fans wait so long for your releases! Also, can’t wait for The Ugly Truth in July. Finally, I have a movie I can go see with my son. I am sure he will like to see Gamer. September seems such a long time to wait! Watched the trailer numerous times. I even watched the German version which I liked even better. I love Gerry when he is rugged and a fighter. He is so versatile and I look forward to all his new films. Hope the Burns project works out for him.
loved the trailer of Gamer….Gerry looks tough, as he is his best this way….Hope he does not die at the end….sure hope this up to his talent quota…He is so talented & handsome, we just hope he has chosen the right way for his career…..
looking forward to the release this year…GO GERRY— & CHEERS BIG GUY…..
this film will be a nice change for gerry going into the future instead of the present or the past. it looks very technical and we will have to have our wits about us when watching it but im looking forward to it greatly. the poster looks terrific and gerry looks great but quite sinister in it, especially his eyes.
I have been looking forward to seeing this movie and have wondered why it’s taking so long to be released. I don’t care for the name “Citizen Game”–it sounds too much like “Citizen Kane”. It needs to have a catchy, more original name–something that stands out and makes people want to see it.
Game is a great name for this movie it seems, but Michael Douglas did a movie called Game a few years back and maybe they don’t want to confuse anyone. As long as GB is in the movie, that’s all I care about. Gerry’s #1 Fan
I just saw the movie screening of this movie. It was AWESOME!!!! Such a cool idea for a movie. I’m sure they will change some things for the true release but I am already telling my friends. Gerard Butler is really good too.

It sounds a lot like the Arnold Schwartzenegger movie, “Running Man.” But if GB is in it, I’ll watch it! :->

can’t wait to see this film but like the name Game–why screw with a already good title?

Looking forward to seeing this movie but think name change will be a mistake. Game is a good name doesn’t need to confuse things by changing it.
