Virtuelle Welten haben Zulauf und immer mehr Menschen verbringen viel Zeit in diesen Parallelwelten, wo sie einiges erleben. Und wie immer: Das Phänomen hat zwei Seiten. Aus diesem Grund hat Pure West Films den Dokumentarfilm «Second Skin» gedreht, welcher bald veröffentlicht wird [via].

Kotaku beschreibt den Film so:

Second Skin is an upcoming documentary by Pure West Films that focuses on the lives of seven MMO gamers, exploring how their games of choice have affected their lives. It touches on many popular MMO topics, such as falling in love, becoming addicted, gold farming, and the effects virtual worlds can have on the handicapped. It’s really easy to make fun of the people you see in this, the first trailer for the film, but not so much when you’ve been there. Having been addicted to MMO’s in the past, I see a bit of myself in the film’s subjects. In the past I’ve spent weeks at a time rolling out of bed into my computer chair (if I even made it to bed) and immediately logging into Everquest, to the point where it was really the only thing that mattered in my life, and yeah - I’ve fallen in love online as well. Maybe one day I’ll tell you folks all about it.

Klingt spannend. Hier schon mal der sehenswerte Trailer.

Ich nehme an, der Veröffentlichungstermin wird dann über das Blog kommuniziert.
