Description

Article published in the «Cinema Journal» — 2012 — Vol. 51 — No. 4 (Summer) — p. 1-25The mode of production and the visual aesthetic of the digital action cinema represented by Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor’s Crank (2006) and its 2009 sequel, Crank 2: High Voltage (both partially shot on Rollerblades at high speed), represent hypermediation as hypermasculinity. Reflecting the development of visual culture and a historically masculinized relationship with technology, the immersive gamespace created in this model of fi lmmaking indicates the narrational merging of product and process.
