A new TV Spot for Gamer has been released and, to be honest, it doesn’t make any sense.
In Gamer, Gerard Butler stars as death row inmate Kable, a man who has become the champion of an online mind-control based game called ‘Slayers’.
The TV Spot uses the tag line “the last time Gerard Butler kicked this much ass was 300 years ago.” Are the marketers referring to Zack Snyder’s 300 (which starred Gerard Butler) but which was based upon an event that took place around 480BC, or is there a Gerard Butler action flick that takes place in the 18th century that nobody knows about?
Gerard Butler stars as death row inmate Kable in Gamer, a man 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 New TV Spot for the film has been released which shows a collection of action sequences with added emphasis on bad guy Ken Castle (Michael C. Hall of Dexter fame). Watch it after the jump.

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.
