The new trailer for Gamer, Neveldine & Taylor’s answer to Running Man, Death Race and The Matrix is out now.  The film stars Gerard Butler as a death row inmate named Kabel, who’s become an unwitting pawn in a multi-player simulation game called "Slayers," created by evil genius Michael C. Hall (TV’s Dexter).  We know where this is going, but Neveldine/Taylor always seem to find a way to increase the A.D.D. appeal in ways never thought possible.  The film also stars Amber Valetta, Ludacris, John Leguizmo and Terry Crews (The Expendables & Terminator Salvation).  

Check it out after the jump if you’re still even reading this.

Crank writing/directing duo Neveldine & Taylor’s next movie (shot prior to Crank: High Voltage) is a futuristic thriller called Gamer, and features everyone’s favorite Spartan Gerard Butler as a "star player" in a game called "Slayers," in which humans – like Butler – control other humans in online gaming environments.  Such a meta-actioner.  A metactioner.  I just coined it.  Send me money!!!

Royalties aside, I think the new interactive poster for the film is worth showing you guys.  You can move your mouse over Butler’s face and, instead of drawing a mustache like normal, you get to peel away layers to show the mastermind controlling him in the film.  Actually, he doesn’t look super authoritarian, so maybe he’s more of a middle managemind.

Get to playing with Butler’s face after the jump
