[edit] Production

In May 2007, Lakeshore Entertainment re-teamed with Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor, the creators of Crank (2006), to produce a "high-concept futuristic thriller" called Game. Neveldine and Taylor wrote the script for Game and were slated to direct the film, while actor Gerard Butler was cast into the lead role.^[6]

Production is taking place in Albuquerque, New Mexico for a 53-day shoot. Filming will initially be on location and move to ABQ Studios. The Red One camera is being used to film Game, being only the second production following Guerrilla.^[7] Downtown Albuquerque will be used for cityscapes, and location sets will be built on the outdoor lots near the studios.^[8]
