Max Payne

[Darkfly]

I think in the script that was exactly the case... I think I remember that she might also say it 'cause the guy was "fighting" his allucinations...

Yeah your correct, that's exactly what it means when reading the script.

 

[Gallagher]

Really quite anxious to see how they've handled the hallucinations, getting rather tired of the theories. Come on, bring on the Payne already!

Apparently it's going to be rated R.

 

[Gallagher]

Great news

 

[Apollo]

^that was a funny article. hahaha

 

[Crook]

Great news

Not really. If the director shot the film with PG-13 in mind, then we can't even take full advantage of a Rated-R movie.

 

[Hunter Rider]

The article says he is re-cutting it for a PG-13.

 

[DBZ2cool]

wow. Well he is right about fox being really mad about it. I mean now fox is gonna go to any lengths to get a pg-13 rating which means the movie will be edited heavily and hence we will end up with a disjointed and choppy movie. I do agree with the fact that MPAA are run by morons and TDK frankly speaking should be R rated thanks to Harvey Dent scene. But ya i guess they did suck WB and Chris Nolan's ****. Maybe they were lenient on the film due to Heath's death.

 

[Nightmare]

I wish it was a Hard R. But im stll antipating it.

 

[xwolverine2]

well i cant really say anything because i havent seen max payne..
but the fact still stands that the MPAA is run by a bunch of *****e's...

i agree with everything john moore said.


**** happens...
cant wait to see how fox reacts..lol

 

[Apollo]

^ they'll react by cutting out everything the looks or resembles anything R and turning it into 75 minute soup.

 

[Balthus Dire]

Man, that's gotta be frustrating. They can't just rate the movie R just because it "feels dark"; what a load of ****.

 

[Crook]

You can, actually. Subject material and film tonality could lead to an R rating without much violence and gore at all.

 

[Project862006]

the film does have a dark tone to it not to mention we see flying demons lol

 

[Nightmare]

woah, flying demons? Nice

 

[zeptron]

John Moore seems to care more about the PG-13 rating than about the movie itself!

 

[nocomics]

Saw the trailer again today when I went to the movies. I understand all those demons were supposed to be his(after reading the thread),and I've only played the first Max Payne.To be honest if u never played the games and no nothing about the movie,and u saw that trailer you would of thinked it was a Constentine rip-off.

I don't even know why you would want a PG-13 rating for Max Payne. I mean, it's got to be hard-boiled and bloody. This John Moore is one arrogant *****. Seems like the Fox execs have found their fav director. Guy has never done anything outside of the Fox studios.

 

[Symbiote666]

Indeed.

What's even worse is that if they can't re-submit Payne, they'll start toning down an already PG-13 movie.

 

[fabman]

I can't wait for Tom Rothman to get kicked outta Fox. They're screwing up lots of movies.

 

[Apollo]

^ or Tom Rothman will kick out everyone from Fox because he think they're all screwing up his movies.

 

[November Rain]

why are they making a pg film about an adult rated game?

it makes no sense unless it is ultimately holding the gaming world responsible for getting younger children to play its games

anyone under a certain age shouldn't be anywhere near a max payne game and marketing the film to them won't help because they won't be able to play the game either.

ridiculous...

 

[Dark Victory]

This makes no sense.

Why make a PG-13 based off a M-rated video game?(oh yeah, Fox)

I never or rarely care about ratings but Max Payne shoot-em-up with blood flying everywhere.

Hopefully, we will get an Unrated DVD.

 

[fabman]

Meh... at this point I don't even care about an Unrated DVD. They'll probably digitally add blood like they did with Live Free or Die Hard. Damn Fox. I hate them.

 

[zeptron]

My problem with this as a gamer and film fan is that the director and studio have taken one of the first good M rated story driven games and decided it needs to be PG-13. This is one of the reasons that game movies rarely achieve the greatness they clearly could.

With films like 300 embracing there R ratings and still making boat loads of money at the box office and on dvd sales why are studios still so afraid of the R rating?
