Short description

Mind-control technology has taken society by a storm, a multiplayer on-line game called "Slayers" allows players to control human prisoners in mass-scale. Simon controls Kable, the online champion of the game. Kable's ultimate challenge becomes regaining his identity and independence by defeating the game's mastermind.

What's left behind the scenes

  • Logan Lerman's character wears a t-shirt with the "Crank" logo. This is a reference to the film "Crank" (2006), a previous work by Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor.
  • The project was initially titled "Game".
  • The directors had the idea to film in 3D, but since many films were trying to be made in three dimensions at that time, and there were few cinemas equipped to provide a 3D image, the film could have been released no earlier than the summer of 2010. The creators of the film could not wait that long.

  • During one of the battles, you can notice a man in a business suit with a briefcase in his hand. He walks through the thick of the fighting, paying no attention to explosions or bullets. This is a reference to the character G-Man from the Half-Life series of games.
