Max Payne Movie News

This week brings some news on the long delayed Max Payne movie. According to multiple reports, the movie is supposed to start filming on March 2nd in Toronto. Max will be played by actor Mark Wahlberg (Invincible, Rock Star, Perfect Storm, Taking of Pelham 1-2-3), and Natasha Alam (rumored to be Mona Sax). The movie will be directed by John Moore (Behind Enemy Lines, The Omen). You can get some more details about the production over at productioncharts.com.

Administrative note: We'd like to point out that we don't have anything to do with the production of the movie. We're as eager to see what is done with the movie as the rest of you.

Now out of all the games out there, and all the genres of video gaming... if you have ever had a chance to play the Max Payne games, you will understand that this is probably the most natural and easy adaptation to the big screen from the video game industry.  Max Payne played through a Narrative Novel, and was so much like those gumshoe detective movies, I knew this would be one we'd see on the big screen.

BTW:  Hitman the Movie - was actually alright in my books.
