It’s said that a true artist must suffer for his art. While a trip to Sao Paolo, Brazil on the company dime may not qualify as “suffering” in the strictest sense, it was certainly a nerve-wracking experience for the Max Payne 3 production team. Producer Lazlow Jones, appearing on the Opie and Anthony Show, detailed a journey that began with a briefing: He would need a bulletproof car and a photograph of his driver. The money he and the other producers would have on them would make them a prime target for violent crime or kidnapping, necessitating such precautions. Lazlow’s impetus for traveling to Sao Paolo? To record natives speaking Portuguese, adding a layer of authenticity to the proceedings in Max Payne 3. Yes, he did this for what will, to most players’ ears, amount to background noise.
