TIGHT I TELL YOU!
its creepy how much marky mark actually looks like max payne ahah
This looks *VERY* promising.
Always wondered what the hell the devs were thinking, but whatever.
Isn't that one of the devs?
I'll cite it's PG-13 rating as evidence of the contrary. Bullet operas fail when lil' Suzie and Billy are potential customers.
Too bad, the devils and whatnot made it actually stand out a bit to me.
Sam Lake, (Or SAMJUELEU PARJARVI or something in Polish, whatever) the writer of cheese noir, which is the best kind.
Looks good I just have a hard time taking Marky Mark seriously, ever. Never thought he was a good actor. Back when the first game came out and it was discussed I had hoped for Ed Norton.
Pretty sure he's Finnish, as that's where Remedy are based.
Also, trailer seems pretty brainless but cool. I'd probably watch it and be entertained.
Sam Lake indeed. Must have been a very bad day.
... i don't get it
I'd probably catch it on HBO or something. Maybe coming trailers will convince me. Being a fan of Walberg's, I do hope it's good, however.
Something is keeping me from clicking the link, I think its the words Marky & Mark...
seriously tho, hope this turns out kewl. I already like what i see, now let see if it plays together nicely as a whole.
I hope this rocks, 'cause it looks like it's gonna rock. Hope they include massive amounts of pill popping too.
you better recognize it!
heh
boogie nights!!!!
Lame. Seriously...
That aside the action sequences and visual mood look pretty tasty. Still can't help but feel that the PG-13 rating will take a fair bit of jam out of the donut. An uncut DVD release would be a nice consolation...
If anything ruins this it will surely be the lack of "Good Vibrations" on the soundtrack...obviously.
Good Vibrations is a WONDERFUL AMAZING SONG!!!!!! I even listened to it this morning. Marky Mark rocks all of your socks.
Only time will tell, rant over.

Wrong casting can ruin the whole thing.
i'm a sucker for winged/angel critters, though, and would see it just for that.
Ok this is Jim Bravura, old pill poppin cranky police chief from the game:
And this is Rapper/ "Actor" Ludacris:
Geez, how many actors did they go through before going with Ludacris? Gee, Gene Hackman would've been perfect for the role, oh wait, it's going to be PG-13, they're trying to appeal to the junior high demographic. Unless it gets amazing reviews I'll wait for this one to be playing on TV one late night when I have nothing to do. Truly one of my favorite action games, destined to be raped by hollywood.
Oh, heaven forbid there should be a black actor in Max Payne. After all, a movie about a pill popping, slow motion shooting, action hero is serious business.
Luda is also 6 years younger than Marky Mark
I had no problem with Mos Def playing Ford Prefect in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy movie but if they cast Morgan Freeman or Michael Clarke Duncan as Ford, that would be as big a miscast as casting Ludacris as the old grizzled chief of police.
ROFLMAO!? Where did I say it has anything to do with RACE!? Vig responded perfectly.
Ludacris cannot play a grizzled old police chief, they completely changed the character, and a very likely reason they did that is to add a certain mass appeal factor. If they wrote in a new character played buy Ludacris, fine, if they had a storyline that didn't include the character, fine. But this is started to push it more towards the "we are fucking with the core elements of what makes this game's story" much like hollywood did with killing all the STARS members in RE2 or making the Doom movie without including Hell. I'm just shaking my head because its decisions like this that indicate it will be another bastardization of the game, and horrible movie.
Eh, I was just having some fun with a giant overreaction to what I thought was an overreaction. Give the guy a chance. We haven't seen anything yet to see if he can pull it off either way. Perhaps they wanted to change the role up for the movie, and go a different way with the character. The film is based on the games, not a direct adaption.
Don't forget, Marky Mark was once that fresh hiphop face. He was also an underwear model, and he even wrote a book whose first words were 'I wanna dedicate this book to my dick'. But then along the way he became an actor that I enjoyed. 4 Brothers, The Big Hit, The Italian Job, etc...
But still, I see it now...
??????????????????????????????????
Edit - Hitman - Bloodmoney - I eat my words!!! Been off for a while and playing some xbox
ps: the end level 'Requiem' is very cool.
