Gamer, the upcoming movie about MMOs with real people as avatar combatants, has a brand new trailer. This is it.

The movie stars Gerard Butler, Ludacris and Kyra Sedgwick, and tells of a future in which MMOs have merged with mind control. The story will revolves around one game in particular, Slayers, which is a "savage, ultraviolent" first-person shooter.

Butler plays the game's champion, who is being forced to kill on a weekly basis by the game's owner and the boy making a living off "controlling" him. We can already see the inevitable scene in which Butler teaches this kid about "real violence".
