NEXT PROJECT FOR EVIL TWINS?
Film School Rejects asked Gerard in a recent interview what was up next for Evil Twins and his response is below:
There’s a few different projects that we’ve been working on, but there’s one in particular – it’s a movie called Slide about a former baseball player who goes back to try and patch things up with his child and estranged wife and ends up coaching the kid’s baseball team. He becomes the subject of fascination and longer by every bored house wife in the town. And it’s him trying to survive that while trying to patch things up with his kid. I think we’re going to have GM direct the movie. Hopefully. We’re in talks with him, and he’s very much up for directing it so we’ll what happens there.

Gamer will be out on DVD on January 19, 2010. You can now pre-order your copy of the DVD or Blu-ray from Amazon.com.
