Max Payne Movie in the Works

rajesh · 29-06-2005, 08:19 AM

Max Payne is coming to the big screen. According to today's Hollywood Reporter, 20th Century Fox is hooking up with Collision Entertainment to make a film based on the gritty third-person shooter which was released back in 2001.

The story, as THR reminds us, centers around a New York cop, Max Payne, whose wife and baby are murdered by criminals high on a new drug called Valkyr. Without much left to live for, Payne joins the DEA and goes undercover with the mob to discover the source of the drug. Framed by the murder of his partner, Max is hunted down by both the mob and the cops in his one-man war on crime.

A videogame sequel to Payne, Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne, was released in 2003.

Producer Scott Faye told the trade that the film will tell the origin story of the character. He says it'll have a Dirty Harry-like tone and that the lead role calls for an actor with some chops. "I think this is a real actor's part because although the story will have action and intrigue, at its core it's a story about a man who loses everything in life that's dear to him," Faye said.

did u guys see "sin city"? ..... It feels a lot like Max Payne

specially with the graphic novel look n feel as well as the sound effects!

Watch the movie Payback starring Mel Gibson which was made before Max Payne (the game) but is quite similar to the latter in the sense of the lead role, the screenplay, etc.

The movie was announced way back, I wonder if they are even actually making it?

Doom 3: The movie will star The Rock, and now if Max Payne has Tom Cruise, I'll officially lose all interest in life.

@RingWraith: SinCity is an awesum movie but too much s**/violence will prevent it from getting released in India officially in its original form. Well.. I liked the direction/actions and the too much TECHNICOLOR......

hmmm the presentetion of sin city is intresting .

sumitava_b · 01-07-2005, 05:35 PM

About sin city, if u think it as a graphic novel, then its good as it is far from reality. Talking by a head without torso, being alive after getting hit twice by a car in full speed and hundred bullets are few unimaginable things to watch. But its ok if u r assuming it as a fantasy movie.

Somebody Please make Sam Lake himself the Hero of the Max P@yne Movie....

Say What..??

This will be a very good movie idea. This is becoming quite common now days. Pc games being so good that they are being made into movies. The earliest one that i can remember is Dune. An excellent strategy game but a very forgetable movie series. The only reason i thinl that they made more than one was because of the games huge fan following at that time.
Resident evil is another movie that i can think of. An excellent game and a even better movie. Also let to part 2 as well.
