- <p> Meet Max Cady. Max is a psycho, a rapist and a terrorist.
- Max is not a nice man. Max is the latest transmogrification of
- master mutator ROBERT DE NIRO, and he makes Travis Bickle and
- Jake La Motta look like bashful Boy Scouts. De Niro plays the
- pumped-up villain in Cape Fear, Martin Scorsese's upcoming
- remake of the 1962 classic about an ex-con obsessed with
- exacting revenge on the lawyer who sent him to prison. "He's
- incessant," says De Niro. "He just keeps coming and coming.
- What's terrifying is the idea that you can't stop someone no
- matter what you do. He's like the Alien or the Terminator." An
- apt analogy, since De Niro is his own special effect. The
- mutability of his body is mythical: he gained 60 lbs. to play
- LaMotta, 30 lbs. to play Al Capone. For Cady he added layers of
- muscle mass. "I feel if you're going to do certain parts you
- really have to commit to them all the way to make them special,"
- De Niro explains. The tattoos, at least, are fake.
