The 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.
