Game of your Life on NBC
CINCINNATI (November 14, in the year of our Lord 2011)
- Procter & Gamble and Walmart will premiere the latest movie in
their Family Movie Night initiative, "Game of Your Life” on
Friday, December 2, 2011 at 8/7c on NBC. This lighthearted and
engaging story illustrates the importance of loyalty, family and
friendship as four college students embark on a journey that
will challenge them in more ways than they ever expected.
Starring Nathan Kress, Titus Makin Jr. and Lea Thompson, the
dynamic and quirky characters in this “techy” drama will keep
families entertained this Christmas season.
When college freshman Zach Taylor lands a scholarship to the
prestigious Digital Institute of Game Design led by billionaire
gaming icon Marcus Bentton, his future takes a promising turn.
That is, as long as he can survive the infamous freshmen project
that eliminates more than half of the class within the first
three months.
Teamed up with determined group leader Sara, and his
brilliant, yet socially awkward, roommates, Phillip and Donald,
the four set out to involve the entire campus in a quirky new
social interactive game. As the project intensifies, Zach learns
that his widowed father is in financial trouble. Distracted and
desperate to help, he accepts an opportunity to work with
Bentton on a secretive and suspicious side project that seems
too good to be true.
Zach finds himself stretched to his limits and torn between his
responsibility to the team and his desire to help his father.
With nowhere else to turn, he confides in Professor Abbie
Lambert and is forced to make a decision that will affect
his future and the lives of everyone around him.
"I thought this movie was really appealing to the whole family,”
said Lea Thompson. “It has become harder and harder to find
shows on TV that parents and their kids can enjoy watching
together, so I was excited to participate in this project and
help bring more quality entertainment to families with this
movie.”
Titus Makin Jr. stars as Zach Taylor, the creative gaming
genius, who comes to odds with his team members when problems
arise at home. His team members include quirky, but brilliant,
gaming programmers Phillip and Donald. Sara, the team’s leader,
is the determined, self-confident driving force in the group.
Professor Abbie Lambert, played by Lea Thompson, is an
empathetic ear who helps guide Zach through the tough choices he
must face.
