Description: |
The action thriller Game takes place in the non-too-distant future, where video games and reality TV have gone way beyond the boundaries of today. 2018’s top-rated show pits prison convicts against each other in a deadly militaristic game. John Tillman (Butler), framed and imprisoned for life for a crime he did not commit, must participate in the Game to win release from his sentence. His military training and natural physical prowess have made him hugely popular with the millions of fans who tune in each week to watch the show – but even more powerful forces want to make sure that Tillman never gets out alive.
More on the film, as told to TunaFLIX by Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor:
BT:"It’s a science-fiction movie set in the near-future. [to Mark] How much of the story can we tell?
MN: Well, it’s a guy who needs to get back to his wife and his daughter, and he needs to fight the system. It’s a movie about control, about how we’re controlled, and more and more every day. I mean, this is happening. We really tend to do a lot of research, and have a lot of truth involved in our scripts.
And this is another situation where we studied and… we’re reading about nanotechnology and we’re learning that we’ll soon all have IPs, just like computers. This is true, this is happening. The cameras are out, Big Brother is getting bigger. And we were… a little scared about where this is going, and just wanted to make an ass-kicking film [about it].
BT: Yeah, I mean, our personal space is getting more and more violated. We’re becoming more quantified, we’re becoming more controlled, more processed. And so, like in the classic tradition of ‘70s sci-fi, it’s all about an individual breaking through that. Usually with guns and ammo [laughs]."
