Gamer - Trailer for Gerard Butler's video game film

Gerard Butler's new film has had a few title changes. First it was Game, then Citizen Game and now Gamer. I personally preferred Game, but what do I know.

Set in a future-world where humans can control other humans in mass-scale, multi-player online gaming environments, a star player named Kable (Gerard Butler) from a game called "Slayers" looks to regain his freedom and escape the prison while taking down the game's twisted mastermind (Michael C. Hall).

Gerard Butler becomes Citizen Game

This one totally passed me by but a few days ago Lionsgate has announced through Twitter that Gerard Butler’s movie Game is retitled Citizen Game:

EXCLUSIVE – GAME gets new title - CITIZEN GAME - in theaters 9/44:57 PM Mar 31st from web

Lionsgate Movies

Apparantly it is all to help market the movie, but I think it is a pretty naff rename. Citizen Game - Citizen Kane. It is a crappy pun and I had to double check that it wasn't an April Fool thing.

Teaser Trailer noticed the name change.

"Set in the near-future, mind-control technology has taken society by storm and a multiplayer on-line game called 'Slayers' allows humans control other humans in mass-scale. Simon controls Kable (Gerard Butler) the on-line champion of the game, and with his every move tracked by millions, his ultimate challenge becomes regaining his identity and independence by defeating the game's mastermind (Hall) through launching an attack on the system that has imprisoned him."

Cast:- Gerard Butler as Kable, the highest-ranked warrior in the game "Slayers"
- Logan Lerman as Simon, who controls Kable
- Milo Ventimiglia as Rick Rape, described as "Moonraker, silver grill, with a latex outfit making him look like a bumblebee
- Aaron Yoo as Humanez Dude
- Ludacris
- Alison Lohman as Trace
- Kyra Sedgwick as Gina Parker Smith
- Michael C. Hall as Ken Castle
- John Leguizamo as Freek
- Johnny Whitworth as Scotch
- Zoe Bell as Sandra
- Amber Valletta as Angie

It is due out in September.

What do you think about the name change? Do you care?

Game - Italian Trailer for Gerard Butler sci-fi gaming film

In Game Gerard Butler (300) plays Kable, a death row inmate who has become the champion of an online game called ‘Slayers’. The story takes place in a future where mind-control technology has become the norm and the game ‘Slayers’ provides humans the ability to control other humans on a mass scale. To those that run the game ‘Slayers’, Kable is nothing more than a human bot - a simulation. But to those who resist oppression, he is the key to overthrowing a high-tech system of societal slavery.

Currently the official release date for Game is 4th September 2009. However, this has been changed a few times before

Written and directed by Mark Neveldine.
Studio: Lionsgate
Cast: Gerard Butler, Michael C. Hall, Alison Lohman, Milo Ventimiglia
