The Top 9 Unknown Sci-fi Films to look out for in 2009

From IconoCritic Movies

#4 - Game (September)

Synopsis: A near-future action/thriller starring Gerard Butler (Kable) as the champion of an on-line game called "Slayers". Mind-control technology has taken society by storm and "Slayers" allows humans control other humans in mass-scale, multiplayer online game. With his every move tracked by millions, Kable's ultimate challenge becomes regaining his identity and launching an attack on the system that has imprisoned him.

Why watch?: From the film makers who gave us the kick in the ass the action genre needed comes Game and we can only hope that it's the kick in the ass that the sci fi genre needs as well. Written and directed by Mark Nevaldine and Brian Taylor who brought us the non stop thrill ride known as Crank comes a world where mind control allows for a more sadistic Saturday afternoon than even Michael Vick could imagine. What seems like a mix of Fight Club, Tron, and The Matrix could wow audiences and Lionsgate sure hopes so seeing as their recent bundle of bad movies has left them teetering on the edge of financial stability. This could be the film that makes or breaks Lionsgate and if anyone can make it happen it's two young film makers like Mark and Brian.

Is there any release date yet for this?

It says September in the article next to the title, but not a specific day.
