After so many faked max payne trailers over the years, this official one should stand a good chance. people have already had the seed planted in their heads about the possibility of a film, and now, finally we have one on the way. Mark Wahlberg... well the only recent film hes been in has been The Happening.... which he was excellent in - in my opinion... but I just cannot know for sure if hes up to the task of the infamous creepy mr. payne. | | Static Link |
| Posted by: Captain Murphy at July 23, 2008, 2:16 am | | Topic: Max Payne - movie trailer JUST RELEASED Forum: Film Hobbit | | It was a great game, not doubt. But the most fun was the gameplay, I really wasn't invested in the story 'till the second one, which made Payne a lot more likable, and let's be honest... Manly. I think Wahlberg can bring to the screen a desperation and hopelessness that The Punisher couldn't which hopefully will make this movie great. I'm really hoping this movie turns out to what it could be. Not that the games were THAT great story wise, but I think with a little tweaking the story could become great and the movie could be a great success. | | Static Link |

I don't think Mark Wahlberg as Max Payne is going to work to well and Mila Kunis as the assassin isn't any better. I have a lot of reserves about this working. I will wait for the DVD then watch it. I will be able to make better judgement after seeing it. This is just my first thoughts on it after seeing the trailer and doing some research on the movie itself. | | Static Link |

If they can write it with him being on that edge it stands a chance. If its just nothing but him out for revenge, it's gonna crash... | | Static Link |

| Posted by: projectionist at July 21, 2008, 4:26 am | | Topic: Max Payne - movie trailer JUST RELEASED Forum: Film Hobbit | | Shame I only got the scoop on this trailer a few days before international release on the internet.... I have some hires scans from the 35mm frames which can be put on here... files have been supplied to management of cinemablend. | | Static Link |
| Posted by: Into at July 11, 2008, 2:54 am | | Topic: Max Payne - movie trailer JUST RELEASED Forum: Film Hobbit | | It does look good......compared to all the other failed comic-movie attempts we've seen fail, but I just watched the hi def trailer, and I'm really still not feeling Wahlberg. I want to. I really do. But it just isn't happening for me. Otherwise, this thing is kicking it full throttle the way it should be. | | Static Link |
| Posted by: Into at July 11, 2008, 12:01 am | | Topic: Max Payne - movie trailer JUST RELEASED Forum: Film Hobbit | | I mean, in a way, Wahlberg is a good fit...I think what I'm trying to say, and what's just hitting me now is that I kind of would rather it be a rather unknown actor. Wahlberg seems to be getting the "revenge" roles a lot. So, in a way, I like that casting decision, but would rather it be more of a lesser or unknown actor for that part. | | Static Link |

(To be fair I've only played the first half of part one). | | Static Link |

Great story, characters, situations, sets, and action. Now, if the movie was done right, it could be a pretty kick butt film! However, the history of video game films has not had an impressive record currently. So I am going to remain skeptical about this still. | | Static Link |
| Posted by: projectionist at July 9, 2008, 1:50 pm | | Topic: Max Payne - movie trailer JUST RELEASED Forum: Film Hobbit | | I have just recieved a trailer for max payne... Supposing this is a film based on the game of the same name... I wonder what it will be like. As projectionist, this trailer only came in today and I have yet to play it with any features, so unfortunately nobody will see it just yet. As soon as I have, I will post the info and possibly a few frames on the board. Anybody else interested in a film based on this game? I only ever played the first one but that really impressed me with its comic-book storytelling and extremely dark undertones... | | Static Link |
