Italian Trailer for 'Game' Pops Up
Filed under: Action, Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Thrillers, Lionsgate Films, Trailers and Clips
I'll chalk it up to coincidence and coincidence alone that I get The Running Man in the mail from Netflix -- about a man (Arnold Schwarzenegger) forced to kill for his freedom or be killed for the entertainment of others in the future -- in the same week that we get our first taste of Neveldine/Taylor's Game, about a man (Gerard Butler) who's controlled as a gaming avatar but violently decides that he's had just about enough of that.So far, I've been fan enough of the two films N/T have put out to date -- Crank and Pathology -- though I can't help but hope that there's maybe something more to this than just bangs and booms (not that those don't have their place at times). That's right, the guy looking forward to Crank 2: High Voltage is asking for something of substance from the guys behind Crank 2: High Voltage. Who knows, it could just be trashy, amoral fun, and despite a shifty date over at Lionsgate (they say Sept. 4th, for now), I suspect that we might see a proper (read: English-language) trailer for Game by the time C2 drops in mid-April.
Trailer removed at studio's request.

I was honestly a little iffy, but this is just beautiful. I think Neveldine/Taylor are gonna get BIG.

Holy crap! This looks like a full on sensory overload. And it has Gerard Butler! I'm there.

I loved Crank, and my hope has been to see Gerry as an action hero. The trailer looks fantastic.

Just out of curiosity, how does a critic decide that a dumbass action movie with no plot or depth is good in one instance and stupid in another? I've just noticed that a lot of the folks on this site praise crank all over the place, but will then attack any other movie that focuses solely on sensory stimulation.
