He was off doing his thing and I’m just kind of doing mine. I was definitely living in the head space of the character and John is a genius. Wahlberg: Yeah, I wasn’t really aware of how visual the movie was going to be. Just hug and squeeze my kids as much as I possibly can.ĬS: Can you talk about some of the visual aspects of the movie? Wahlberg: Look forward to the end of the film and to hopefully walk away with your sanity. That’s what happens to the character so…ĬS: How do you not take that home with you? The emotional stuff was probably more difficult because I have to imagine something happening to my family which is not a fun place to go.

So we changed that up a little and made him younger and a little more hip. Wahlberg: Fairly close except for Chris Bridges – his character was originally a 60-year-old white guy.

I let my assistant, who is a diehard gamer freak, to play it all the time until the end of the movie and then I took it away from him.

Wahlberg: Just making their baby into a movie, period. Hopefully we’ll also be able to introduce a new set of fans to the movie and they’ll gravitate toward the game.ĬS: What were the gamers skeptical about? We showed some diehard gamers that were very skeptical in the beginning and they were thrilled. Wahlberg: We first and foremost wanted to satisfy the hardcore gamers and of course try to take it to another lever.
