Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor love video games. Crank was essentially
an adaptation of a video game that does not (yet) exist, and they'll
be doing a sequel to that. Their next project is even more specifically
game-related: it's actually called Game and it's set in a near-future
where a MMORPG called Slayers is hugely popular. Here's the thing: the
way the game works is through mind control technology, and players
actually control other humans. The Slayers champion is Kable, and his latest
mission is to break free of the mind control and rediscover his
identity.

It was announced at Cannes that Gerard Butler was playing Kable. Now
we've learned that Ken Castle, the big bad guy in the film, the guy
pulling the strings, will be played by Michael Hall, aka Dexter from
Showtime's popular serial killer TV show. I've only seen him on Six Feet Under
(I do have a Dexter Season One DVD set sitting here unopened, though),
and I like what I've seen.

Game is casting now, with shooting to begin in January.
