Who will play Max Payne?

[turmeric]

max payne should be played by samuel l. jackson

my, that is a tasty burger!

almost all american actors are too pampered whining cowards. max payne has to be someone who doesnt give a shit, who is unphased by life.
hollywood people are just male models.

GIVE US SAMI OR GIVE US DEATH

Yeah, let's suddenly make him black... You aren't Pierce Brosnan by any chance, are you? [img]images/icons/tongue.gif[/img]

(he wanted Cuba Gooding Jr. to play James Bond)

Way too much of a pretty boy to play Max: YES

You saying Max AIN'T a prettyboy? [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

Anyway, Johnny Depp owns, go see Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Yep. Max is more "rugged" and tough. Depp's face is too delicate and fragile [img]images/icons/tongue.gif[/img]

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Now why would I do that? I've seen it like 10 times already. I'm a regular Johnny Depp fanboy [img]images/icons/tongue.gif[/img]

Bruce Willis? [img]images/icons/rolleyes.gif[/img]

I think Johnny Depp is one of the most sensible suggestions that's been here, he can play well in so many different roles, Fear and Loathing, Sleepy Hollow, Edward Scissorhand, From Hell, etc. He'd be good. But there will be a B actor if the movie get's made...

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">A great Johnny Depp for example was in Donnie Brasco.

there are really many good actors its real hard to decide who is more suitable to play the role of max payne.
the way to make the choosing easier to find the perfect payne is to find comparisons from the character payne and the real life version of the person. consider the age, height, weight, look and personality and acting ability.
my choices:
david boreanz from angel
sean patrick scott from amercian pie 1 and 2
vince vaughn from the remake of psycho
keifer sutherland from young guns 1 and 2 and the acclaimed 24 series
christian slater from very bad things and broken arrow

[biXen]

Sean Patrick Scott? (isn't it William btw) Weren't you talking about acting abilities? Kiefer is no good for this role either IMO...

[tommulder]

well keifer is gritty enough (just watch 24) but its an old bastard, and yea he can still shoot it USP but really, as MP?? nope [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

[Soilwork]

I also think Colin Farrel would play a good Max.

I love this guy's attitude, he's a bad ass alright, and it show's in the interviews.

I don't remember the name, but there was a movie with Mel Gibson in which he reminded me a lot of Max Payne...

How would you react if you saw a new Matrix movie where Neo is NOT played by Keanu Reeves?

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">I'd be thrilled to finally get a movie with good acting. Plus there's no need for you to yell. Maybe Sam Lake can't act.

[Wrathstalker]

Alec Newman should play Max Payne, as I suggested in the other actor thread.
