Movie; Where the Real World mingles with Second Life

"At this years Cannes Film Festival there is a screening of a film called R U There and takes place partly in Second Life. It´s a Dutch/French production about a young professional gamer, played by Stijn Koomen (Stages), who travels around the world to play in videogame competitions. The real world holds no appeal for him; he lives his life in virtual reality, where he is fully in control. When he witnesses a serious accident in the street, his life is shaken up and he begins to doubt the certainties of his existence. R U There is a film about the first global generation of youngsters whose lives are dominated by virtual reality. A film about the children of Google, YouTube and Second Life."

I plan on seeing this movie. It seems interesting enough for me. Those of us with SL accounts should have a go, and really plan on seeing this. It will be the talk in-world, as Linden Lab has set up a link to that site.

The location of the SL site, where its depicted in the movie is called, Jaded Wings.
