[QUOTE=Gyper;15236668]Imagine what griefers could do with this game...[/QUOTE] Just arrange a ceasefire for a bit and have a dance off :v:
Terrible name but a bloody excellent idea and setting.
Hall and Butler. That's all i needed to know.
This looks really cool and extremely fucking stupid at the same time. It's a complete ripoff of The Running Man with a new plot element added in to make it slightly different. And fuck, is it so surprising that Michael C. Hall got another role aside from Dexter? Every person I show the trailer to goes "OMG DEXTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" [editline]04:38PM[/editline] [QUOTE=Munchiselleh;15236415]It's by the director of Crank.[/QUOTE] Well, that's three strikes in one. Now I'll only see this movie if someone else rents it, or it's on TV.
looks like a shitty version of death race.
Death race all over again..
Looks stupid.
Fuck everyone and their critical maturity, I think this looks awesome because it's like death race but with more guns and explosions and shit. Will definitely see.
It looks... okay. When it comes out I'll probably see it.
A movie that looks good? Do these even exist anymore?
How come it is like Death Race? DR was car racing, and no one was controlling them
maybe the game's we're playing at the moment are real too
[QUOTE=cheezey;15238954]maybe the game's we're playing at the moment are real too[/QUOTE] Then how come my main hero can survive falling from a building? O_O
This looks pretty bad.
Looks like a shitty knockoff of that awful movie 'Death Race' starring Jason Statham, Except instead of racing it's a game.
A plot similar to Death Race sounds cool, but the whole "gamer" "twist" is awful, and it just wants to fill a market, no doubt there will be a storm of merchandise :(
I honestly thought it looked like shit when I saw the preview at Terminator Salvation. It's way too gimmicky.
This is like the 3rd movie (I've seen/heard off) about death row inmates, doing some sort of fighting (And broadcasted in someway. often the internet) and the winner would be free. first one was these people stuck on an island and they had to kill each other (can't remember movie) Second one was death race. third one is this gamer thingy. But Michael C. Hall is in it. So all is well.:buddy:
It reallz is gimmicky, but knowing the director I trust him to make the movie self-ironic enough to pull it off.
I hope the server doesn't get full! :rimshot:
I'm really digging the concept, but they [i]really[/i] could've picked a better title.
Awesome! It's like "Battle Royale" meets "The Running Man".
Makes me think of Benx a bit [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWOrRM0mybw[/media] But not that much.
It's got Leonidus in it
It reminds me of a certain game with a character named matt. So they pretty much ripped off a game and made it into a movie.
The problem I have with this kind of plotline is this: The contest(racing, shooting, fighting, whatever) is always presented as "to the death" and "the most brutal sport" and so on. But then the movie always has that one antihero character who has survived 10 or 20 of these contests in a row. Well, if this guy has survived so many times, doesn't that prove that this game or contest isn't really all that deadly? It makes it seem like it's really one guy who knows how to compete beating the crap out of a bunch of newbies who just know how to talk trash.

See also: How seminal boxers get unbeaten records; they steam roll early competition, usually less versed/able younger/older fighters on their way to the top. If you're better than someone at hurting them, you're more than likely to win quite consistently over them
I wonder what happens when you lag.
OH EMM GEE, the guy who starred in Dexter, one of the most overhyped shows of all time no way. Gasp, and Leonidas too, from easily one of the most overblown and over-exaggerated movies of all time, it's gonna rule! Seriously people, just because popular people star in a movie doesn't mean the movie won't be shitty. This looks like a terrible movie that will be fuckin eaten up by the masses because of fucking Dexter and Leonidas and not for the story, not for the artstyle, or direction, but because of two lameass overhyped actors.
I read the title and thought it would be shit. It doesn't look too bad. Its got explosions, guns, and general violence though. It will make me happy for an hour and a half.
