Is Russell Brand emulating Mystery… or Vice Versa

I’ve gotta admit it.  I’m extremely excited about this movie. (The Game)  The producers of this project couldn’t have picked a more suitable individual in Russell Brand to play the notorious ‘Mystery’.  Both individuals are equally audacious in their physical presentation and command the attention of all in their presence.  Their mastery of the english language and execution of brilliant extroverted mannerisms have propelled them to cult-god statuses.

The truth is I don’t think Brand needs to emulate Mystery in this role, he just needs to be himself.  By embracing his proclivity to be a narcissistic, peacocking psychological manipulating savant he should have no trouble hammering the role home.  Dude, I truly believe these guys have similar descendants.  GQ recently did a expose on Brand that accurately captured his essence;

“……Oh my god, you’re so beautiful, how can you NOT come with me now, it’s going to be brilliant.  Why would you not? What you doing? What’s on the telly? What are you going to do instead?…….The thing I’m offering I can deliver….Escape from Mundanity!”

If you thought the book “The Game: Penetrating the Inner Society of Pickup Artists” was big.  Wait until the release this movie.  It should make the community mainstream…the question is if that’s a good thing, or a bad thing….
