Max Payne

[S.A.A.D.]

I look forward to this movie. I know it's going to suck but I like Mark Whalberg.

Impressive,you've seen the movie already.

Fox is always having perfect promo pics.

There wasn't any good reason to respond to my post.

I scanned the latest issue of total film, which features this article on Max Payne. The images are huge, so they're going in spoiler tags.

cool article man, thanks for uploading. Mila Kunis looks so good (& hot in that pic)

 

[Gotham]

Very cool article. And some awesome new pictures! Thanks for the scans!

 

[Sundancer]

Mila Kunis? Ugh!!!


And PG-13 ratings really do tend to water down the action and make them more choppy.


Well, here's to hoping.

Doubt it. Fox ruined Hitman because the director didn't do what they wanted (eg, PG-13, action packed and as basic as possible). They have had a say in MP since day 1, I don't think they'll ruin this as well.

This doesn't really seem to make sense. So because the director is deliberately being a stooge for the studio it will turn out better?

Wahlberg says this is his favourite role yet.

Article also has a new pic.

I think this is Wahlberg's like 20th favorite role yet.

i hate when people say bad director **** look at john favreau before Iron Man he made what? Elf LOL

He directed and wrote MADE, which was a fantastic movie. Very underrated. Elf was also good and it was a big hit that only cost like $30 million. And then he did Zathura, which wasn't great but at least showed he could do a movie with bigger FX and what not.

He also wrote and co-produced SWINGERS.

So what's the point? If you were trying to make some point, you failed. Favreau had a much better track record before he did Iron Man than John Moore who is now doing Max Payne.

Also, its not like Max Payne is going to be anywhere a hit near the level of Iron Man.

Whats the budget on Max Payne?

 

[TheVileOne]

I would guess $40-50 million range.

 

[Dark Donnie]

^^^I would assume it will make a decent profit with such a low budget.

 

[TheVileOne]

Very possible. It being the first great video game movie that legitimizes the genre with critics on the other hand . . .

The Resident Evil movies were all trash, garbage, and a disgrace to the excellent games . . . but they still managed three live action, theatrical movies.

 

[Balthus Dire]

I'm not sold on the PG-13 ********, but I think it's showing some promise. Definitely looks like one of the better videogame adaptations, all of which have sucked horribly for the last 10 years.

 

[DieSmiling]

It's a shame that things don't look promising for this movie. Max Payne, IMO, is one of the easiest video games out there to adapt into an awesome movie. Very good game.

....Is that Mila Kunis?

 

[TheVileOne]

Yes. She plays Mona Sax in the movie.

[Jack Bauer]

Is that Brooklyn Bridge in the first one?

 

[Darkfly]

Eh. This reminds me of his characters from Four Brothers and The Shooter.
