Yeh heard about the plans for a film a bit ago, I like Wahlberg so could be good, they made Hitman decent enough so I shall follow this.

 

[-Psy-]

Oh man. If the writing is as good as the games, I will definetly be watching this.

I still think Dean Winters(from Rescue Me) would have been a better choice for the Max Payne role, but oh well. Here's to hoping the movie doesn't suck.

Yes! One video-game movie I'm going to be seeing!

Max Payne was a video game based on a genre of movies. It is now being returned back to the movies from whence it came.

 

[Qonfused]

This looks good. What happened to that independent Max Payne film, though?

 

[Emporius]

Wahlberg has mastered the constipated grimace.

lol

I just sort of breezed through the article, it isn't another Uwe Boll train wreck is it?

 

[Remus]

it isn't another Uwe Boll train wreck is it?

No(thank goodness) it's directed by John Moore, the guy that directed Behind enemy lines one of my favorite action movies. So hopefully this will be good.

lol, not sure about Marky-Mark tbh.

 

[smwScott]

Marky Mark will work fine but the director sucks ... so the movie will probably be very mediocre.

Too bad ... but then again Sin City pretty much covered this ground.

I wouldn't count on it. The screenplay writer's credentials leave something to be desired.

I'm guessing this will be junk. Luckily the games are orsm.

lol hope this turns out good
