Try to ‘Take and Escape’ With Takers Online Game Dan Koelsch, June 29, 2010June 29, 2010 Sony Pictures has been really trying to create a strong online presence with their upcoming bank robbery film Takers.

Takers, directed by John Luessenhop and starring a slew of young actors, is out in theaters on August 27th. Viral Marketing GameSonySony PicturesTakers
