Max Payne The movie

Dowly · 07-11-08, 12:55 PM

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:

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:

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

I adore Max Payne!

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

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

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

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.

Actor looks a little fresh-faced for Payne.
