First Trailer to Max Payne - Blu-ray Forum

GreenScar · 07-10-2008, 04:16 PM

Max Payne starring Mark Wahlberg. I have to admit, the visual/style of the movie is looking quite nice.

Check out the trailer here.

Max Payne is directed by Irish filmmaker John Moore, of Behind Enemy Lines, Flight of the Phoenix, and The Omen previously, with a screenplay written by first-time writer Beau Thorne. The film is based on the popular Max Payne series of third-person-shooter video games that first arrived in 2001. Fox is debuting Max Payne in theaters on October 17th just before Halloween.

As a gamer you should know who Max Payne is.... from PS2. And Mark Wahlberg has been around for a while too..... some know him as Marky Mark

man oh man, will this be big!!! for pc gamers out there, this was a revolutionary game back in its hey day...

Just checked the trailer, this looks F-ing sweet!!! I think that might have been Olga Kurylenko(Hitman, new Bond girl) in the trailer as well, she is a super-fox.

Edit: I was way off... that is Mila Kunis from that 70's show. Ludacris is in there too

Erm...no I don't know Max Payne actually. I know Mark Wahlberg ofcourse.

Wow it is looking awsome! I was scared that it was going to turn a Punisher like movie...

Chris60119 · 07-10-2008, 04:46 PM

Has there been a vidoegame to movie that was good? If so, I missed it.

Coming together to solve a series of murders in New York City are a DEA agent (Wahlberg) whose family was slain as part of a conspiracy and an assassin (Kunis) out to avenge her sister's death. The duo will be hunted by the police, the mob, and a ruthless corporation.

not really (closest probably would be the Resident Evil moviesor Lara Croft depending on tastes). But they keep trying.

Resident Evil, and I'll defend that to the death!

Hitman wasn't that bad either.

max paynes storyline is quite similar to it. except not like the punisher movie, he does it in style.

(the game version that is)...

i hope it transfers over well on the big screen.

come to think of it, mikey rourke wouldve done a better job on this one... after sin city, he fit the perfect role...

david2189 · 07-10-2008, 04:57 PM

was an amazing game (both 1 & 2) hope the movie lives up to the name

SDon1969 · 07-10-2008, 05:07 PM

Loved the PC game and the all the mods for it, I'm glad to see they kept the soundtrack intact. It's funny hearing Markie try to speak in a gravelley Max Payne voice, but I think he'll pull it off just fine.

Coincidentally, I had a different Sin City cast member in mind when I first heard of the Max Payne movie - Clive Owen. I guess he'd have to lose his accent, though.

Looks like it could be great! Is it out this year??
