Game has been renamed once again, now going by the title Gamer. Also earlier this month the trailer and a new poster were released. The video can be watched in our archive or below the cut. I will admit, the movie never appealed to me other than Michael but I have to say he does look really cool in the trailer, but Michael always does I suppose! Check out screencaps in the gallery.

According to ComingSoon.net, Game, Michael’s third feature film is set to make it’s debut on September 4.

In the not too distant future, Kabel (Gerard Butler), a death row inmate, has unwittingly become a pop culture hero. Every week, millions worldwide tune in online to watch him and hundreds of other convicts battle in Slayers, an ultra-violent multi-player online game invented by technological genius Ken Castle (Michael C. Hall). To the wealthy young gamer who controls his every move, Kable is just a sim (simulation) character. To the resistance group that opposes Castle’s games as high-tech slavery, he is a critical element in their battle to take down the inventor. Caught in the crosshairs of two opposing forces and under the command of a teenager’s remote device, Kable must use his extraordinary fighting skills to escape the game, bring down Castle and overthrow the system.

It has been a long time since we have heard anything about Michael’s upcoming film Game. Well, the future trapped-in-a-video-game thriller had its first test screenings, and the results were not great.

According to an Ain’t It Cool News source that was in one of the screenings, the Gerard Butler-starring Game is a terrible fail and in need of a complete overhaul from start to finish. Even more disappointingly, Michael C. Hall and Butler’s incredible acting abilities are buried under a mass of poor action scenes and bad dialogue. It’s not surprising that the producers of Crank would unleash a fast paced movie that may be a bit confusing at times, but it’s a dreadful shame to think that Hall and Butler aren’t being fully utilized. Some minor spoilers below the cut.
