Directors Brian Neveldine and Mark Taylor brought the hyperactive film Crank to theaters last year , and now they ’re unvoiced at work on Game with 300 ’s Gerard Butler . We know it ’s a scientific discipline fiction film set in the time to come when TV game control the existence , but what the Scheol is the movie all about ?
We ’ve heard it compared to the television game series Sim City , although it sounds more like a version of the Schwarzenegger / Stephen King shoot The Running Man than anything else . Gerard Butler plays a inmate who is force to vie in the game . If he wins 30 matches , then he gets do free . Pretty straightforward , right ?
Not so fast . costar Alison Lohman lease it slide today that although Gerard plays the gamer con , there ’s also a player spiel him . Which brings us full lap to 1982 ’s Tron . In that movie , we were shown how the “ players ” in the games were fundamentally slave serving out sentences under the malevolent Master Control Program . In one memorable scene , one of the players in the popular “ Light Cycles ” game dies , and we see two kids playing the biz in an arcade . They shrug their shoulders and take the air off , having unknowingly obliterate off some poor sucker .
So if you take one part The Running Man ( make headway the game to be set free ) and toss in a bit of Death Race 2000 ( the government force you to play in a biz that is popular all over the nation ) and amalgamate it liberally with Tron ( human gamers controlling the lives of players ) , you ’ll make out out with Game … or a big tasteless mess of bubbling goo .
