Max Payne The movie
 

Anyone else waiting for this? Just saw the trailer for it, cant say I'm happy of the guy they chose to play Max Payne, but I think it'll be a great movie still. A grimm storyline for sure, I'm personally hoping that they wont take anything out of the atmosphere that was in the games; drugs, brutal violence, the snow etc.

Here's the trailer:

:huh: The games are fantastic, but ... Mark Wahlberg?

Aye. :-?

With some english/acting lessons we could've gotten the 'Real' Max payne. Cant remember his name, but IIRC he was/is part of the Max Payne games dev team. The Max on the first game was modelled after him, he looks exactly like Max in the game.

One I would've liked to see as Max Payne is Michael Madsen. He can act a cruel, cold blooded guy on a revenge trip if any. I mean, he doesnt usually show any kind of emotion and IMHO, Max Payne is like Hitman, no emotions, just revenge. And I think he's voice would fit the theme very well, and lastly he writes poems too, so he knows how to make a written word sound powerful. :hmm:

Just look at this video of MM reading a poem he wrote, try to exclude the music and dont look at the video, just listen to him speak. Almost identical to Max Payne:

EDIT2: oh, here's the shot of the guy I was talking of that was the 'model' for Max Payne; Sam Lake:

What a way to ruin a videogame masterpiece. :nope:

Dont say it yet, trailers are misleading. Let's start judging AFTER we've seen the movie, ok? ;)

I adore Max Payne!:arrgh!:

Let's just hope the 600+ body count makes it into the movie!:up:

And not directed by Uwe Boll! His movies doesn't make the cut the bill!:nope:

Hehe, Uwe Boll is in Guantanomo Bay now. He should be, anyway, the lousy terrorist.

Damn. Nicolas Cage FTW!

Anybody know when it's due to be released ? :hmm:

Uhm.... winged demons? This is max payne not buffy ffs, I don't recal seeing demons in max payne games before!

Maybe it's hallucination? The V-drug? Maybe it's a dream, a nightmare? We dont know, so let's just wait till we see the movie. ;)

October 17, 2008 for the U.S.

Actor looks a little fresh-faced for Payne.

:yep::nope:

He looks nothing like Payne!:down:

And I assume the storyline got "tweaked"?:nope:
