It looks like Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen has some new competition in the explosion department! The first trailer for Gerard Butler’s Gamer is now online (we got the poster 2 days ago) and it kicks a variety of asses.

Set in a future-world where humans can control other humans in mass-scale, multi-player online gaming environments, a star player (Butler) from a game called “Slayers” looks to regain his independence while taking down the game’s mastermind (Hall).

Three new posters have appeared online today. One is for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, another is for District 9 and the third is for Gerard Butler’s Gamer.

A cool flash version of the Gamer poster can be seen over at UGO. Gamer was originally called ‘Game’ and is set in a future-world where humans can control other humans in mass-scale, multi-player online gaming environments.

Game Pushed Back To Summer 2009

According to Scifi.com Gerard Butler’s Game has been pushed back to Summer next year to complete visual-effects work.

Game, from writer/directors Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor (Crank), is the story of a futuristic video game in which players control actual human beings, including Butler’s Kabel.
Creating the video-game world poses visual-effects challenges. “Game is a ’sim-world’ movie, so you have a young kid who is controlling an avatar,” Lucchesi said. “There are lots of visual effects.”

This is fine by me, and just means 2009 will be a heck of a year for movies. We have X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Watchmen, Avatar, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and now Game.

So with this delay, when will we be getting a trailer to feed our appetites?

“I think soon,” he said. “Christmas, I would think.”

GerardButler.net got a few scans from the Australian version of Empire magazine, which included a few new images of Gerard Butler in Game.

First Butler had to take down the Persians with their ‘arrows that block out the sun’ and pathetic elephants, and now he has to take down Dexter. Game has a release date of November 30th, but those lucky enough to attend ComicCon will be getting a sneak peek.

First Look At Gerard Butler In Game

These images of Gerard Butler looking badass in Game have been floating around the internet for a a couple of days now, however I’ve waited until the images popped up in better quality, because that’s how I roll.

Butler has become a little bit famous after a small movie named 300 was released in 2007. However, since then he has appeared in romantic comedy P.S. I Love You (vomits) and family film Nim’s Island (trips over own vomit and falls out of nearby window). Thankfully, Bulter is returning to what he does best…kicking ass! (celebrates furiously)

In the not too distant future, Kabel (Gerard Butler), a death row inmate, has unwittingly become a pop culture hero. Every week, millions worldwide tune in online to watch him and hundreds of other convicts battle in Slayers, an ultra-violent multi-player online game invented by technological genius Ken Castle (Michael C. Hall). To the wealthy young gamer who controls his every move, Kable is just a sim character. To the resistance group that opposes Castle’s games as high-tech slavery, he is a critical element in their battle to take down the inventor. Caught in the crosshairs of two opposing forces and under the command of a teenager’s remote device, Kable must use his extraordinary fighting skills to escape the game, bring down Castle and overthrow the system.
