Gerard Butler stars as Kable in 'Gamer'

In Gamer Gerard Butler plays Kable, a death row inmate who has become the champion of an online game called ‘Slayers’. The story takes place in a future where mind-control technology has become the norm and the game ‘Slayers’ provides humans the ability to control other humans on a mass scale. To those that run the game Kable is nothing more than a human bot – a simulation. But to those who resist oppression, he is the key to overthrowing a high-tech system of slavery.

A while back I wrote that Gamer was a cerebral actioner where the core story is heavily influenced by research into real-life technology that is under development. In the following interview Gerard Butler confirms the movie is very much a comment about the future of technology, entertainment and morality.  He also confirms that the movie is way more violent than 300. That’ll be something.

Watch the interview now:

Gamer also stars Milo Ventimiglia, best known for his role as Peter Petrelli in NBC’s Heroes, as well as Michael C. Hall of the popular serial killer series, Dexter.
