This movie is going to be the very first game to movie that'll be successful. It looks really really good.

Check out the trailer:

I think it's kind of old now, but I agree it does look good, I just hope that angel thing near the end of the trailer was part of one of the nightmares or something.

Yeah I don't know. Mark Wall Burg playing Max Payne could be a letdown imo. I think someone more talented should play him. i don't even care if he doesn't look like Max Payne. Hell i'd rather Denzel play Max Payne then Wall Burg.

But other than that every thing else look good.

If it is PG-13 I will not see this movie. thats just a cheap way to get all the little kiddies to spend their money on a movie and will prevent it from being as good as it could be.

Agreed. Mark Wall Burg is one of my favorite actors. Anyways, I think they might make another Max Payne game if the Movie is successful.

Why does everyone call him Marky Mark?

Anyway this movie looks really sick. Mark Wahlburg was really bad in The Happening though. I hope he can pull this off.

Hmmmm this one is going to be a tough call for me. I spent so many hours playing max payne it was rediculous. But if that thick from that 70s show plays mona sax, plus mark playing max payne, I think it can go any where, definitly not going to have the feel of the games characters. And the valkyrie... wtf they better be part of dream sequences cuz the only valkyrie in the games was a drug. I understand plot tweaks for movies are natural, but bringing a game about a cop on vengeance into fantasy realm is going to ruin it.

[QUOTE="Haziqonfire"]Trailers look good -- movie is going to end up being bad.ReaperV7

I can say the samething about the watchmen movie


Well to be honest, any movie can be screwed up but lets look at the facts. Watchmen is based off of a very well written and respected graphic novel which is the only of its kind to be featured on a list of the top 100 pieces of literature. It's being directed by a guy who has had alot of success directing faithful adaptations of truly loved work. The early word on Watchmen is that it's fantastic. The word on Max Payne? Well, it's a video game which hardly makes it screen material if previous examples are heeded. It also has a terrible director, a questionable lead in terms of the material and, to be honest, it probably has a tailor made formulaic screenplay that simply had a few tinkerings made to fit it to Max Payne.

Apples and Oranges really. :P

The director is terrible? That sucks. :( What other movies has he made?

Also there is pretty much no chance that Watchmen will end up bad. It's just too awesome. There is a chance it may be cancelled though (there are some licensing issues right now).

I think it's kind of old now, but I agree it does look good, I just hope that angel thing near the end of the trailer was part of one of the nightmares or something.ONLYDOD
Its symbolism...those weren't angels they were valkyries. If you don't know Valkyries are from Norse Mythology, they decide who wins a battle. If i remember correctly direct translation of their name is "The Choosers of Death". I'm guessing their saying that Max Payne has the will of the gods sort of thing on his hands. The Valkyries want him to win/kill which is probably the reason for the last scene in the trailer. Though i don't really know the story of Max Payne so i could be wrong.

And is that the girl that played Jackie in "That 70's Show"?

[QUOTE="ONLYDOD"]I think it's kind of old now, but I agree it does look good, I just hope that angel thing near the end of the trailer was part of one of the nightmares or something.FF6fan

Its symbolism...those weren't angels they were valkyries. If you don't know Valkyries are from Norse Mythology, they decide who wins a battle. If i remember correctly direct translation of their name is "The Choosers of Death". I'm guessing their saying that Max Payne has the will of the gods sort of thing on his hands. The Valkyries want him to win/kill which is probably the reason for the last scene in the trailer. Though i don't really know the story of Max Payne so i could be wrong.

And is that the girl that played Jackie in "That 70's Show"?

A large portion of the game's story involves a drug called Valkyr, the valkyries we see are probably hallucinations from taking the drug.

[QUOTE="Haziqonfire"]Trailers look good -- movie is going to end up being bad.stepat201

I can say the samething about the watchmen movie


Well to be honest, any movie can be screwed up but lets look at the facts. Watchmen is based off of a very well written and respected graphic novel which is the only of its kind to be featured on a list of the top 100 pieces of literature. It's being directed by a guy who has had alot of success directing faithful adaptations of truly loved work. The early word on Watchmen is that it's fantastic. The word on Max Payne? Well, it's a video game which hardly makes it screen material if previous examples are heeded. It also has a terrible director, a questionable lead in terms of the material and, to be honest, it probably has a tailor made formulaic screenplay that simply had a few tinkerings made to fit it to Max Payne.

Apples and Oranges really. :P

The director is terrible? That sucks. :( What other movies has he made?

Also there is pretty much no chance that Watchmen will end up bad. It's just too awesome. There is a chance it may be cancelled though (there are some licensing issues right now).

Really? Did I miss something? I played Max Payne 2 and don't remember a drug. Was it only in the first game?

[QUOTE="ONLYDOD"]Oh yeah, and Ludacris playing Jim Bravura, im not to sure about that, I didn't even know he did acting.chikenfriedrice

Ludacris was in the great movie Crash and was respectable

Crash, was that the movie with all the people in LA, like the corrupt cop who lives with his dad and all those people?

yup that's the one...great flick

I didnt like crash that much. It was so pretentious.

Yeah I don't know. Mark Wall Burg playing Max Payne could be a letdown imo. I think someone more talented should play him. i don't even care if he doesn't look like Max Payne. Hell i'd rather Denzel play Max Payne then Wall Burg.

But other than that every thing else look good.

ReaperV7

He is actually a very good actor. So sorry you fail

i agree. shooter was amazing.

most people are speculating its a nightmare sequence but the tag on imdb (i think it was imdb) said something about his fight taking him into an underground world of the supernatural or something along those lines. but from the trailers it looked pretty faithful to the game so hopefully it is. also the max payne game writer wrote the movie, and the game was incredibly well written.

[QUOTE="marklarmer"]After watching Sin City and Shoot em Up i have no idea why they didnt choose Clive Owen as Max Payne.mo0ksi
Never saw Sin City but Shoot Em Up was just awesome. Terrible dialouge and story, but great action.

it was an action comedy, with lots of emphasis on comdey if you didnt notice

i'm not a fan of Marky Mark either

Why does everyone call him Marky Mark?

Anyway this movie looks really sick. Mark Wahlburg was really bad in The Happening though. I hope he can pull this off.

before he was an actor he was a white rapper his group was called marky mark and the funky bunch lol

Oh god. That sounds...Horrifying.

i know. lots of younger people that were born in the 90's dont know this about him. its hilarious

I'm really confused! I thought Max Payne wasn't about God and Valkyries and all that... wasn't it the film noir style comic game with bullet time?

Anyway i think it looks a little cheesy somehow. Bit unprofessional. I don't think it will work out.
