[...] real live human beings. It’s a great concept that looks to have been pushed to the max, if the first trailer for Gamer is any indication (although some would say it veers to close to Death Race, and in some ways I [...]

Death Race was fun the first time around, but much like Epic Movie after that it was bleh.

Don’t know where you guys are getting the Death Race thing from. But like VIC said, Death Race was FUN movie. Here the action looks pretty intense so at least we’ll have that and hopefully a great story because they have the actors that can pull it off.

Death Race II.

Of course I thought Death Race was a lot of fun, so that may not be a bad thing.

I don’t know what to think. It feels to much like an over used concept. I mean it’s got it’s own little twist, but the concept of prisoners killing for entertainment and then getting released for doing well. Yea it’s a bit over used. The action looks decent, but it looks over acted. It reminds me of the condemned, but with a bigger budget and oddly enough less of a story. I mean Condemned was a fairly simplistic action film with very little thought and it’s hard to imagine a film that’s less story oriented, but this does fit the bill from what I can see.

Definite Running Man/Death Race vibe there. Also the grey metal hues remind me of Terminator Salvation.

Ok, just saw the trailer, I think I saw a little bit of Michael C Hall dancing… I HAVE to see that, lol. Dexter doing a musical number, man, that must be funny as hell.

About the rest of the movie, reminds me of Running Man/Death Race, although I never saw Death Race, I get the same vibe from this trailer as from watching the DR trailer…

Holy Crap my Pants!! That’s is just crazy. Dexter and the Closer together is a great combination. Ludacris is ok as an actor but I think people are giving him more credit than he deserves. What’s funny is this was being pushed as a mind control movie and by the poster it looks like the kid plays an integral part but the trailer doesn’t portray that at all. I will be seeing this in theaters come September, popcorn in one hand and a fresh role of toilet paper in the other.

I was totally thinking of Death Race while watching that trailer. If it’s like it then you’re right, it’ll be a good popcorn flick to just have fun with. The concept looks very intriguing though so it could be more than that, possibly one of those movies that is thought of as a cult movie years down the road.

Two things popped to mind: The Sliders Episode: “A thousand deaths” and The Running Man…

Doesn’t look bad. Butler is turning into Hollywood gold, but Kyra Sedgwick? Big Screen? That surprised me a little bit.

I hope he doesn’t shoot anyone he doesn’t mean to by accident by running around with his finger on the trigger like that…

Just looking at the picture at the top of the thread, can’t see the trailer here. At work and it’s blocked, oh well…
