GAME
This " high-concept thriller takes place in the near future, when mind-control technology has taken society by storm. In this dystopian world, the ultimate online simulation environment is humans remote-controlling other humans in mass-scale, multiplayer online gaming." The film will be written and directed by "Crank" creators Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor and plans to begin filming in January 2008.
