This time it&#8217;s 2009&#8217;s Gamer starring Gerard Butler, Logan Lerman, Michael C Hall and directed by Crank duo Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor.  Set in the far distant future of 2034 in a world where the game Slayers (an online third person shooter) uses real life death-row prisoners in a real life murder arena controlled by players safely at home.  In many ways it&#8217;s ahead of it&#8217;s time and in many other ways it has aged horrible.
