Alison Lohman Reveals Game Details

When I wrote my last post featuring Gerard Butler, I received a bashing from his fan club - this time I’ll realise: Gerard Butler Good, Lucy slating him bad! Joking aside, I can’t wait for his upcoming film Game. The film was written and directed by Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor (Crank) and also stars the gorgeous Alison Lohman, who has taken time out of her busy schedule to speak about the film.

“I’m doing a movie now called Game with Gerard Butler. I get to ride a motorcycle. It’s like Sin City, it’s set in the future. It’s a sci-fi thriller about convicts who become the players in a video game, and the players are the ones who control them. And if they win 30 games, they are exonerated, and get out free. The prison system is overloaded so they have to find a way to fund it. This is set in the future and the healthcare system is collapsing, so they have to find another way… “

In the film, Butler’s character is on his 28th game and desperate to return to his family. Does Alison’s character help him?

“I play this revolutionary chick. She’s a vigilante, part of this underground group that is trying desperately to save the world from debaucherous. She’s an idealist. I help [Gerry], but he doesn’t know what is going on and I inform him that he’s in prison in the video game. I start shooting in two weeks in Albuquerque New Mexico. I just decided that I was going to do this about a week ago, so right now I’m just scrambling to learn my lines.”

The movie is to be shot for 55 days in and around Albuquerque. Filming started on November 5th and continues until February 5th.

Game will hit theatres in December 2008. If you need your latest Alison Lohman fix, you can catch her in Beowulf on November 16th.
