Max Payne - The movie?

[Andeh]

you know, ever since i played the original Max Payne, I always had the image in the back of my mind of a movie being made from this game. It has the perfect storyline for a movie. An average american cop with the perfect life. Wife, kid, job. His family is killed, and he basically goes on a rampage for revenge. Good to see its being put to good use

well there had better be slow motion diving round EVERY corner.

and



when did this come out? i never saw it.

I think it was called in the name of the king, it was pretty dire, lot of potential.

 

[Matmulder]

ludacris was great in crash. he has potential i think

He could be the best actor in the world....but he's young, black and slim. "Jim" is old, white and out of shape.

Anyway, isn't Bravura dead in MP2?

 

[Nymins]

I read somewhere that it will be a PG-13. Lame.

Oh god I hope not, it's screaming out to be an 18!

My brother rented that the other night and, well............ AWFUL, SIMPLY AWFUL. They even wasted talent (Robert Knepper, Dougray Scott). Almost turned it off it was so bad, eurgh. Same things probs gonna happen with Max Payne too .

i acctaully really enjoyed the movie everyone has there taste i guess , tho it was a ripoff Bourne

More to the point who'll be playing Mona Sax ?

Courtney Cox would have been a decent Mona a few year back but she's probably past her best now.

As for Max, even Corra's own Tricky Dicky (AKA Richard Hillman) could do a better job than Marky Mark.



Seriously though, I reckon Adrian Pasdar (Nathan Petrelli in Heroes) would have been a better choice than the Funky Bunch cast off.

Another wasted IP.

I guess i'll be acquiring this rather then watching it.

Death Wish?

 

[james.miller]

frank miller should direct it tbh. anything else thinking "sin city"?

edit: and yes, Adrian Pasdar would be great as max

 

[Schnippzle]

Hugh Laurie as Max Payne lol

 

[SiD the Turtle]

It better be dark and gritty.

And not suck, like just about every movie of a game.

Death Wish?

Don't you mean Death Sentence?

Anyway I think it has potential to be a good film. Ludacris isn't that bad an actor, I don't see a problem.
Also RZA played a convincing role in American Gangster, so it seems a bit off to say no rappers can act.

 

[megatron]

Don't you mean Death Sentence?

Death Sentance
Death Wish
Punisher

All have someone who's been driven to kill by criminals, wether its all their family was killed (or IIRC in Death Wish its a rape).

Trailer is out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JboQmDIdKWs


looks really bad

 

[montymint]

If this film is no 18+ it'll be terrible. I really hope they go for a SinCity look to the film, really stylish and grainy, like the game. I remember playing that and thinking the overuse of metaphors was pure poetry hehe


edit: Just seen the trailer.....

 

[MaX_PoWah]

i liked shooter but i dont think he is the guy to play max payne, but then again the way things seem to be going with films these days im sure even if they found the perfect guy they would manage to make it into some unintelligent rubbish film with endless plot holes

 

[neoboy]

I actually though the trailer was quite good but not sure what's going on with man bats.

 

[Hedge]

I hope he can pull the faces accordingly!
