First Look At Mark Wahlberg As Max Payne
Shooting has just started of the film adaptation of Max Payne, and a first look at the movie's main character is now available. As usual we are not too excited about the film, as every recent game to film translation has left us sick to our very stomachs, but with some people of quality partaking in the project it has a chance of impressing.
Mark Wahlberg will take the roll of Max Payne, and although he does not look much like the character I am sure we could have been stuck with much worse. Better news comes from the fact that John Moore will be directing. He did not do that bad with his effort in Behind Enemy Lines - although Flight of the Phoenix was less impressive. There is a bit more bad news though, as recent reports hint that the film is trying to achieve PG-13 rating, and we just can't see Max's character been portrayed correctly under the confines of that rating.
It is currently unknown if the movie with keep the heavy film noir and slow-motion scenes of the game intact, or if it will instead adopt it's own approach. However, it is not scheduled to be released until sometime in 2009 so we still have loads of time to find out, and then complain if necessary
Killer role for Kunis in 'Max Payne'
Actress cast opposite Wahlberg in adaptation
My Picks For Mona: Monica Belucci, Amanda Peet, Winona Ryder,Mia Kirshner or Jennify Connolly
My Picks For Max: Thomas Jane, or Aaron Eckhart

- Mar 9, 2008 9:30 am PTNo no. It can't be PG-13. For it to be Max Payne, there must be sex and lots of violence

If you love someone, set them free...if they come back, set them on fire.

[/QUOTE]Well, since Fox is going to be the studio to put this out, I'm not suprised. Look at what happened when they dumbed down the last Die Hard film to a PG-13 rating...it wound up putting more people in the theater seats. (and also cranked out the worst installment in the series, but that's just my opinion.) They're more concerned with making money then putting out a film that's actually good. But then again, it IS a video game film, so I don't have much faith in it being good to begin with.

- Mar 9, 2008 10:06 am PTThey should just eleminate the entire PG-13 rating. All it does is produce bad movies that could have been three times better if they just didn't have to aim for that teenager audiance.
