Here's an exclusive new still for Neveldine/Taylor's GAMER just for you guys!
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. If you saw the glory that is CRANK 2 you know why everyone in the world should be excited for Neveldine and Taylor's next flick, GAMER, starring Gerard Butler as a dude being controlled like a video game avatar through all sorts of action-packed craziness. High brow? Probably not, but I'm betting it's going to be fun as shit. Add on the bad guy is Dexter Morgan (alias Michael C. Hall) and that the adorable Alison Lohman is in it too, then you have something that has to be a winner, right?
It sounds like the dudes just put Tron, Running Man and Death Race 2000 and hit puree. I don't know about you, but that sounds cool to me.
We have an exclusive image for you below. Click on it for the super-big version:
The flick comes out September 4th. Hopefully we'll be seeing more on it in the near future. I imagine there's going to be a big Comic-Con push for this one.

...looked kind of silly.
-
I might watch it for Michael C. Hall and if they go bugnuts crazy in it, but seriously....a kid controlling a prisoner? Jeezus.
-
...you just know that the tables will be turned on "bad guy" Michael Hall at the end...in fact, one shot from the trailer looks like someone is making him do the "Jets" dance from West Side Story.
-
It won't make any sense but will be totally badass. Can't wait !
-
This was fucking made for him.
-
This seems like it will kick ass.
-
just a still from a b-movie of which we've already seen the trailer? weird.
-
not just a still, an 'exclusive new still' now i get it..

I WANT TO CONTROL THAT GIRL FROM TWILIGHT
by richard_gere_raped_my_gerbil
GIVE ME GAMER POWERS PLEASE.

...I can only wonder what he could have done if given the opportunity to create a modern videogame. It would probably start as a regular plain ol shooter then suddenly turn into something completely different.
If only videogames not try to do movies and movies not try to do videogames. -

I knew it. Quint is the only one around here with balls.....

Gerard Butler = Poor substitution for The Stath
by dannyglovers_dickblood
-
So crazy insanely bad... that it's fucking incredible
-
And Crank 2 was glorious, not genius. Genius is a different kettle of fish...
-
I don't think I imagined that. This has been in post-production for ages, hasn't it?
-
my buddy thought of...than we laughed cause we knew it was a horrible idea.
-
AICN finally gets something right. My God that movie raised the bar for movies to watch when you're high.
-
Saw a screening of this back in the fall. Save your money and just re-watch The Running Man. It's awful and I even liked both Crank movies. Michael C. Hall's dance number is great. The action video game with Gerald is the worst stuff. However there is great live action game play in a Sims environment. Which is Crank classic.
-
Crank was weak shit, as well. Don't lie.
-
Are you joking?

bthree78 -- so you're saying this needed The Stath.
by dannyglovers_dickblood
FUCK. I knew it. Gerard is 70% closeted queer. He tries a bit too hard. FUCK. So this dance number? Where the fuck does that come from?
-
I don't know if even The Stath could save this movie.
-
You would think it's a gag where a game user is controlling Michael C. Hall. Nope. When Gerard breaks into the villain lair, Michael and his goons just break into dance for the fuck of it. It's funny, because you're totally not expecting it.
-
I knew it looked like he was doing some type of snapping fingers dance routine.
-
And Michael C. Hall doing that awful southern accent nearly made me cry, really.
-
Statham and a car. Preferebly the car would explode if he failed to maintain an 87 minute erection. Maybe get Paul Walker or Nic Cage in the mix somewhere. Gamer is the kind of shit I'm liking lately though, just a quick fist up the caboose for an hour and a half.
-
what Cameron can do on the page and on screen - Not him as a human being. Let's just say his "set etiquette" needs some finessing. Why do you ask?
-
... certainly as of late.
-
He was great in Rocknrolla. Perfect as the kinda dopey-heart-of-gold type.

BillyMayesHere -- B Action is what lives forever.
by dannyglovers_dickblood
Deny that all you want.....but most well reviewed so called 'Good Films' are forgotten quickly.
-
.....fucking Oasis. Wanks.
-
NO QUESTION.
-
Just saw it. Actually surprised I liked it. It was well-made B-movie that I didnt' mind seeing on DVD. It might have been a different story if I saw it in theaters but I think certain films fare better on the lesser formats.
-
Which is to say, if you like Crank, you like shit... wait, Quint likes Crank? Wow! I am SHOCKED! He and Merrick need to have a "who has more terrible taste in movies" contest. The resulting hole would tear apart space time.

it needs to guys controlling the prisoners to yell "gay" all the

Seriously, this is going to be stupid. You know it. I know it. You can only return to the creative well of "The Most Dangerous Game" so many times, and at this point, the bucket's just bringing up sand and scorpions. Wait a minute... Gerard Butler fighting giant scorpions... created from Medusa's blood... HOLD THE PHONE! I gotta go write a script!

This movie is the worst thing you will EVER see, I've watched it
by turd furgeson
Trust me, saw a test screening a couple months back when it was called "Citizen Game" and they just changed the name to "Game" and now it's "Gamer".. Honestly, almost walked out of a FREE movie.. Gerard Butler and Michael C. Hall were the ONLY redeeming things about this ultimate shitfest.. If Harry thought T4 was bad, he'll think this is the equivelant of getting his balls surgically revoved while he watches...
-
If everyone is upset over so many remakes, well here's another one. It even has the subplot of a hacker trying to stop the signal/broadcast. Also played by a "musician.." Instead of Mick Fleetwood, they got Ludacris.
-
honestly.
-
...tastes like gritty neon FAIL
-
Google it up, it's all over the place but here.
-
No, thanks, no.
-
...even though it uses real people. What happens when he dies and reloads the save point?
-
Gamer is so frikkin' derivative it's insane.
And yet, for some reason, I cannot wait to see it.
It's weird that the same creative process (steal everything that isn't nailed down) that I usually despise with the white hot passion of a thousand burning suns would create a flick that I cannot wait to see.
I feel so dirty. Like Tara Reid on an average Thursday. -
Piece of trash tries to be an action star in 300 then does some lame ass shit like P.S. I love and now that movie with that Greys/Knocked up slut. Gerard you are stank!
P.S. I Love, more like P.S. You Suck Cock!
And what kind of exclusive image is this? Lame brain humanoids. -
as above
