Sound Bite: Mark Wahlberg – more on character
Yeah I try to make everything I do as real as possible so you have to go to that place, I don’t know, what else am I gonna do. Think about my dead dog? You know? When I was a boy? You know I have to go to that place but that is enough to get me going, for sure.

Sound Bite: Mark Wahlberg – on the video game
I didn’t know about it until after I read the script and then of course seeing, hearing about you know being based on the video game I had to check out the game and see what it was all about but it’s very different than the games I grew up playing that’s for sure.

Sound Bite: Mark Wahlberg – on movies being based on games
Yeah and I really wasn’t aware of it, you know, I wasn’t aware of the ones that were good and the ones that were bad the ones that did good versus the ones that weren’t so well-received. I just read the script and liked it and thought well, I don’t care where these stories come from, as long as they’re good and interesting and you know and there’s only so many stories to tell anyway as long as you find new fresh ways to tell them and again for selfish reasons being able to play a character that just gets to go crazy and really has license because of you know what happened to him and the fact that he’s driven by emotion and this tragedy you know of his wife and child being murdered.
