    Max Payne: The Movie

    [​IMG]
    Max Payne Movie Info (IMDB)

    Who hasn't played Max Payne? .... you suck if you haven't :p

    .... this third-person shooter series has been renowned with reviews for its amazing storyline and fun gameplay (especially the Bullet Time ability).

    Now for the movie ?!?

    Download the trailers before it goes missing:

    Max Payne Movie Trailer - MOV
    (requires QuickTime... I recommend Quicktime Alternative)

    Max Payne Movie Trailer HD - FLV
    (requires the codec to play flash video, I recommend K-Lite Codec Pack)

    Game On People,
    -Gophn

    Oh wow, I didn't expect this. This should be good. I can totally see Wahlberg as Payne.

    Thanks for the heads up Gophn!

    Wahlberg is a surprisingly fantastic actor, and can't wait to see how this movie turned out. He even made "Fear" a good movie. (You know, after whole "Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch" thing...)

    I don't know if I can watch Mark Wahlberg after his performance in "The Happening". Pitiful...

    Nonetheless, he did play a good role in "Shooter".

    What a classic game, I just finished playing it again.

    GO MARK WAHLBERG! AWESOME.

    Does anyone know if it just covers the story in the first game, or is it both? Or is it modifed?

    Wahlberg dissapointed me in The Happening. But then again he wins at everything forever because of The Big Hit.

    Mark Wahlberg had to act a little extra goofy in The Happening because pretty much all of M. Night Shamalan's movies are meant to be analogous to dreams.

    I don't blame Mark for that!

    I got goosebumps watching the clip. (a good thing)

    The only thing I don't like about the movie is that it will be rated PG-13. But as long as they stick to a good storyline and have plenty of bullet-time shooting.. I'm good. :biggrin:

    Mila is all I need to go see that movie. Mark is a good actor. Actors can only do so much, so it's not their fault if the movie sucks.

    i had both games, didnt really like them. they were okay and the bullet time was cool for the first couple of times. dont think ill bother seeing, considering how most if not all game based films turn out (can anyone name a film based on a game that was any good?)

    Have been following news about this movie for some time now. Thanks for the trailer Gophn.

    The role does suit Mark Wahlberg, the trailer looked great, captured the darkness of the games and the narration was done in a great voice.

    However I reckon they took the "flesh of fallen angels" thing a bit too literally, looks like Constantine in a few of the scenes lol

    I enjoyed both games -especially the level of detail - but got stuck in a hallway in Max Payne 2 - and could never get out of it to continue the game. Have Googled it a couple of times but could never escape the hallway. I thought there was going to be a follow-on to MP2 but I forget the name.

    I liked Max Payne, but if they have monsters in this movie, it's going to kill the original plot. This reminds me of the movie Doom how instead of there being demons from hell, there was a virus that turned people into zombies. I don't know why movies always have to mess up the story. But we'll see.

    The first Mortal Kombat movie.

    Max Payne main characters are based from real people.
    - the original Max Payne was based off of Sam Lake (writer of Max Payne)

    Mark Wahlberg should do fine as a Max Payne look-alike

    After seeing the trailer I'm excited for the movie :) I don't think there is anything wrong with Mila Kunis playing Mona Sax. I can see it as long as her character in the movie doesn't come off annoying and ditzy like her typical roles.

    Mona Sax is based on a model.
    The voice however does not belong to her.

    As far as the monsters go, I wonder if they are going be real or just in Max's dreams.
