<blockquote>
<p>'''G.A.M.E. Trailer'''</p>

<p>[Opening: a pure white room with a brunette woman in a silver
jumpsuit walking towards the camera. She smiles ...]</p>

<p>Woman: Welcome to 2246 ..</p>

<p>[and unzips her jumpsuit and then opens her chest, revealing a
screen showing a slowly revolving green planet with a grey steel
spaceship ]</p>

<p>Woman: A universe of limitless frontiers ...</p>

<p>[the camera suddenly zooms into the screen and then around the
spaceship which then blasts off ]</p>

<p>Woman: technological miracles ...</p>

<p>[cut shot to a darkened couch with a blue and white helmet. A man
is lying down on the couch talking to another man in a lab suit.]</p>

<p>Standing Man: You're going to be experiencing virtual flying
experiences. From your autonomic reactions we
can extrapolate your ultimate flightsuit and our
manufacturing-on-demand facilities can have it ready
when you wake up.</p>

<p>Woman: and endless opportunities.</p>

<p>[cut shot to asteroids covered with domes growing plantlife. The
camera slowly flies over the domes and connecting tunnels.]</p>

<p>Woman: But no matter how far humans go, they bring with them ...</p>

<p>[Suddenly zoom into one of the domes. A few hundred men are at a
rally with a spotlight on one of them]</p>

<p>Woman: hatred ...</p>

<p>Man in Spotlight: The White Race will be oppressed no longer!
[crowd roars]</p>

<p>[cut to an blond woman and a man kissing on a balcony.]</p>

<p>Woman: greed ...</p>

<p>Blond Woman: You'll do anything for me?</p>

<p>[cut to a dark interrogation room. A man is tied to a chair.
Standing above him is an Asian man holding a pair of pliers next
to his face.]</p>

<p>Woman: and violence.</p>

<p>Asian Man: Time for Dr. Picasso, plastic surgeon.</p>

<p>Woman: It all happens here ...</p>

<p>[cut shot to a man in his 50's in a black suit with a white stripe
down the middle]</p>

<p>Man: Welcome to Poisonside.</p>

a switch and her chest picture and the trailer picture blank out
simultaneously]</p>
