I’m heartbroken to hear the sad news of James McCaffrey’s passing. We worked together for more than 25 years. He was a lovely man and a dear friend. He was a key part of the Remedy family. He was a brilliant actor. No one could do what he did better than him. (1/2)

James was Max Payne, Thomas Zane, Zachariah Trench and finally Alex Casey. I had the honor of sharing Max Payne’s role and Casey’s role with him. He was a joy to work with. I will cherish his memory and I
miss him. My deepest condolences to his family. Rest in peace, Jim (2/2)

We are partnering with Annapurna to co-finance Control 2. We hope you're as excited about what this means for our creative output and ongoing independence as we are.

Creative work is a loop. Once you get to the end of a project, you find yourself back in the beginning of the next project, with the same steps ahead of you. But it’s also a spiral, you have learned a lot, there are new thoughts, you are evolving, on a journey somewhere.
