GAMER is a high-concept action thriller set in a near future when gaming and entertainment have evolved into a terrifying new hybrid. Humans control other humans in mass-scale, multi-player online games: people play people...for keeps. Mind-control technology is widespread, and at the heart of the controversial games is its creator, reclusive billionaire Ken Castle (Michael C. Hall). His latest brainchild, the first-person shooter game "Slayers," allows millions to act out their most savage fantasies online in front of a global audience, using real prisoners as avatars with whom they fight to the death.

Kable (300's Gerard Butler) is the superstar and cult hero of the ultraviolent "Slayers." Kable is controlled by Simon, a young gamer with rock star status who continues 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.

GAMER stars Gerard Butler (300, THE UGLY TRUTH), Michael C. Hall (“Dexter”), Amber Valletta (TRANSPORTER 2), John Leguizamo (RIGHTEOUS KILL, ASSAULT ON PRECINCT 13) and Kyra Sedgwick (“The Closer”).

Lionsgate and Lakeshore Entertainment present a Lakeshore Entertainment/Lionsgate Production. GAMER is a Neveldine/Taylor Film.
Coming to theaters September 4th, 2009!

    . They are able to indulge themselves in activities that are culturally unacceptable. Societal rules no longer play a part in decisions that they make once controlling their droid, yet the droids themselves are still being judged. The “droids” are people who are on death row, people believed to have already broken cultural demands. Gamer allows for the controller to be embedded into a society in which they would normally be ridiculed for being apart of. The ones directly controlling the droids are not the only people who are granted a societal escape. The war Games are heavily televised, capturing the entire world, making people cheer for a man that is said to be a murderer. Gamer shows how desperately humans have an inner desire to lash out at cultural restrictions.

    Gamer is a futuristic move that presents clear messages. In today's society we see people playing video games such as grand theft auto or modern warfare, each one allowing people to indulge them selves into a life that is socially unacceptable. Gamer takes this concept to a whole knew level, we see the emergence of a futuristic world where humans are turned into droids and can be controlled by other humans. The people controlling the humans view it as a video game, but it is real.
