Gerald Butler And Crank Creators For Game Movie
King Leonidas leads off futuristic thriller...
Gerald Butler is off fighting Persians. But enjoy the picture anyway.
Crank writers Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor are teaming up with 300 star Gerald Butler to bring us a video game-based movie called (please just for now) Game.
The movie, which starts filming next January, will be written and directed by Neveldine and Taylor, and according to Variety magazine, is a "high-concept futuristic thriller".
Plot? You want plot, okay: "This latest pic is set in a dystopian future of implanted nano-devices, where the ultimate online simulation environment is humans remote-controlling other humans in mass-scale, multiplayer online gaming. The lead character, played by Butler, is a worldwide sensation, and the top-ranked warrior in a game called Slayers. With his every move tracked by millions, he battles to regain his identity and bring down the entire system", says Variety.
So, World Of Warcraft meets The Matrix with cutting from Crank and shouting from 300. Sounds like a winner. What we want to know, however, is when SPOnG favourite, Jason Statham will be 'attached'.
Your thoughts on Game to the forum please.

Sorry, I wasn't really looking at the background dude. OK, I'll change the caption. But the picture is staying.

Bob, you were probably too busy running the zoo. Therefore you missed several Statham 'meetings'.
Here's one you might like to revist: Hitman the Movie: Where the Hell is Statham?
In this case he was even the star of Crank. He's also much more fun to watch than Gerald "Shouter" Butler. For gods' sakes even his name "Jason Statham" - which sounds like a hard as nails Argonaut bouncer - is a better name than "Gerald Butler", which sounds like an effete, well... butler.
