Mark Wahlberg is Max Payne

[arniejolt]

Marky Mark's come a long way since Make My Video...from Variety (http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117975641.html?categoryid=13&cs=1):

Twentieth Century Fox has Mark Wahlberg in the crosshairs for "Max Payne," a live-action adaptation of the bestselling Rockstar videogame that will begin early next year. John Moore will direct.

Wahlberg is negotiating to play the titular cop who is haunted by the tragic loss of his family and has little regard for rules as he investigates a series of mysterious murders. He finds himself up against an adversary bent on destroying Max and the streets he protects.

The script was written by Beau Thorne. Julie Yorn is producing through Firm Films, along with Scott Faye.

Wahlberg will make the film after he completes "The Lovely Bones" for director Peter Jackson and DreamWorks. He recently starred for the studio in the M. Night Shyamalan-directed "The Happening," which will be released next summer.

Moore has directed "Behind Enemy Lines," "Flight of the Phoenix" and "The Omen" for Fox. He also is developing a live-action adaptation of the Virgin Comics title "Virulents" for Fox and New Regency.

I just hope they don't ruin it. Max Payne had one of the best storylines i've ever played in a game, I was really into it. And how they got the 2nd MP to be even better is just beyond me. That usually never happens.

I don't care about a movie, but if a movie is what we need to get another Max Payne game then go forth. If only more people had bought Max Payne 2.

I would rather a 3rd game instead of a movie. Although I don't think they left it open for another sequel. I don't understand why this game never really did that well. Maybe some people don't like 3rd person shooters? This game HL2, and FarCry are my top 3 pc games I've played.

I loved both MPs and I really do hope they don't mess this up because it has the chance of being really good

I dunno. I can't see Wahlberg as Max Payne. He might be able to pull it off, but it will be seen in the final product.

Hm... I think Mark Wahlberg is a good choice for Max Payne. I will keep an eye on it.

Marky doesnt seem cool enough to play Max Payne he just doesnt have that right kinda presence.
