Max Payne Movie - First Look

Thought if anyones interested in the Max Payne games(like me wishing for another), then this is a tiny update on the movie.

Mark Wahlberg will take the role as Max Payne and Mila Kunis looks like will act opposite as Mona Sax.

First shot of Max Payne in link below, its rainy.

Oh God... Mark Wahlberg should be great and I'll give Mila Kunis benefit of the doubt, but there's no way a proper Max Payne movie could get away with PG-13 IMO. Just make it like Sin City.

PG-13? Film industry still thinks that only kids play games.RK-Mara

Mark Wahlberg, eh? Cool, he's a really good actor. That's actually pretty encouraging.

Wow, I'm suddenly feeling anticipant of a movie based on a game. Never would have thought that would happen.

its nice that Mark W. got the lead role, hes awsome and all, just doesnt look too much like Payne =/

But o well, hopefully this will be the first GOOD adaptation of game to movie :D

As I said to another topic in another forum:

I can't see Mila Kunis as Mona Sax, but I'll give her the benefit of the doubt. I can see Mark Wahlburg as Max Payne, but I can't see the movie succeeding if it is only PG-13.

[spoiler] This a story where a wife and infant are killed brutally in the opening scenes, where drugs are vital to the game's story, prostitution, seedy nightlife, the occult and just all around bad guys are numerous. [/spoiler]

It needs a minimum of "R" in order to get that Max Payne feel.

I find the actress playing Mona Sax a bit too young. In the games (especially the second one), she is more sophisticated femme fatale. I would have cast someone more older.

Mark Wahlberg is ok I guess.

But no Max Payne movie can be good PG-13. Drugs, violence, brutality, blood = not something PG-13 movis have.

It's not often that Hollywood picks the absolute perfect actor to play a Game-to-Movie role. I can't say I can think of a better player than Mark Wahlberg to play Max Payne.

And I'll go ahead and agree that there's just no durned way in heck they can make Max Payne PG-13. That part has to be either incorrect or just plain stupid on the studio's part.

Mila Kunis is certainly a good lookin' gal, but I don't know about Mona Sax. We'll have to see, maybe she'll surprise us all.
