Max In A Movie?

[Bruce Hamilton]

I don't think we'll be seeing Arnold Schwarzenegger doing much acting for the next couple years, now that he's governor of California... I suspect his next acting job will be running for President of the United States, like Bush and Clinton before him. Being governor seems to be the stepping stone to the White House lately.

[Ivan]

I don't think we'll be seeing Arnold Schwarzenegger

I bet yu searched it on google to find the correct name! He is maybe gouvernor but not dictator [wrong spelling]. Still max needs to be a big guy...Uncle Arnold, Bruce or Jonh! [No! not your neighbour, , John Travolta!] I stick with MOMAN DION for VALERIE.

[Bruce Hamilton]

I'm an Arnold fan, even though his acting talent is mediocre at best... Got all 3 Terminator movies on DVD, and at least three others on VHS.

Anyway, to return to subject, I see the guy in Smallville to be Max...he looks pretty like him. AFTER SECOND THOUGH...maybe not

Definetly NOT. If I saw that guy as Max then...*faints*
I still prefer Johnny Knoxville . *checks earlier posts* Nice to see that someone agree, Ivan.

[Ivan]

Hehe johnny would be the best Max ever, he is a Jackass, and Jackasses are not like Ivanass...I understood myself, he would do all the moves without a problem... Did you see their movie..quite cool!

[Moonwalker]

No, I haven't seen the Jackass-movie, but I have watched TV-series. Those guys are SO crazy that they are funny.

[Wamplet]

I will choose: Arnold Swageblablabla

Thank goodness you aren't the director.

He seems more action oriented. I don't see him spewing off line after line of how he is feeling, etc.

You see Arnold Swagenegerzerthabivanisthebesttheyou is soo cool! In T3 he said like 36 words!BONZAI! And Eminem is perfect for Vinnie. They are both lame like hell.

definitely not. nothing against smallville. but tom welling? purrrleaze.

i've been thinking about an actor who could play max payne and i can't imagine a single one that i would like to see in that role. except timothy, of course or maybe - just maybe - edward burns. at least he would bring the right attitude.

[Tip]

I've said it before, I'll say it again, GUY PEARCE!
Go watch Memento, then try to tell me he shouldn't be Max Payne.

[Ivan]

He shouldn't be Max Payne. The best guy would be Tom Cruise. Come on! He is perfect! Did you see Minority Report! Excellent!

[Hypher]

mm guy pierce actually would make a good max payne!!

plus he is very nice

[Hatta]

Guy Pearce might be (he's brilliant in Memento), but I belive that they should have McCaffrey audition for the role if he's good enough (I've never seen him in anything) there is no one else that could even come close to Max. However if he isn't good enough Christian Bale should be the second choice (see Equilibrium if you haven't seen it, it's cool as hell). He's got a really cool gaze and can at with such a degree of sarcasm.
As for Johnny Knoxville, sure Jackass had its funny moments, but that hardly makes him qualified to portray the most tormented character ever seen in a game.

[fmuder]

um...Charlie Sheen?



hmm...I can't imagine him doing anything except comedy though.

[Hatta]

No, I actually think you could be right, Charlie definately has a special voice . For me Max Payne is alot about the voice.

[Ivan]

um...Charlie Sheen?



hmm...I can't imagine him doing anything except comedy though.

He looks like Simon the judge in Americon Idol, I think. YARK! What a newbie he is with his hair .

[Wamplet]

um...Charlie Sheen?

hmm...I can't imagine him doing anything except comedy though.

He might work, but I almost always think of him as being in comdey shows as well.

[fmuder]

He might work, but I almost always think of him as being in comdey shows as well.

Then again, it can be a Max Payne parody.

[Wamplet]

Then again, it can be a Max Payne parody.

That's what some of Charlie's work has been, so it could definitely work as a parody.

[Tommyboy]

Timothy Gibbs.

What?

[Qtipie]

oh yes the hair is not quite right but he's definitely max

i don't want a well-known actor in that role, cause the movie should be about the character only. tom cruise is too famous for that part. and i so don't like him

[MaxRox!]

Ok... since I started this juggernaut of "Max In A Movie"... I will dive back in here - I still think my Christopher Meloni could be a good Max... but I will concede that Timothy Gibbs does look the part in that pic I definitely see Max!!

[Ivan]

tom cruise is too famous for that part. and i so don't like him

I thought chicks were loving him?! Who are they loving then? Like I said Vinnie is eminem and max is brad pitt PERIOD

[Wamplet]

I thought chicks were loving him?!

The rumors indicate that he doesn't love femals back.

Who are they loving then? Like I said Vinnie is eminem and max is brad pitt PERIOD

Eminem? I'd rather see Vanilla Ice play Vinnie, before Eminem.

I don't think Brad Pitt or Tom Cruise could capture Max's character.

I saw you...YOU COULD DOT IT! I like your car. *fake laughs*No offense.

[Darkreaver]

There is only one guy who can play the part of Max and that is James McCaffrey,he looks like Max and he is the voice of Max,he's the best choise.

[Maxtream]

Here is a more recent picture of James McCaffrey from American Splendor (2003).

[Ivan]

No. He will never be Max Payne. Look at his face...too mature.

[Maxtream]

McCaffrey is in his 40s. I imagined Max being in his 30s. I'm sure that if there's a MP-movie coming then it's not a 1 on 1 thing to the game(s).
I wouldn't have a problem with Max being more mature than he looked in MP1. I mean, all his metaphors, he sounded like he went through plenty of trouble.

[Kevin's girl]

If Max is going to be in a movie...then I want him to be played by...Sam Lake!! Well for obvious reasons but I know that is probably not going to happen *sniffle*

Then I want... Timothy Gibbs. Again for obvious reasons. It just makes sense since he played him in the game and he is a real actor.

It has to be either or (in my opinion) because I don't think I could stand another face change!!

[Ivan]

I don't think I could stand another face change!!

You will just have to keep your eyes close on the scenes where max is...and open them when he is not!

Will this "MP" Movie, be an amateur one or like a Paramount production... I mean a big one. Cause I seen clips of amateur ones...and...it sucks.

[Darkreaver]

James McCaffrey does look a little old for the part but what makes MP so great, I think, is the voice.I accepted the change of Max's face in MP2 because the voice was the same.I don't think anyone can make the same voice and since there won't be a voice-over he's the best choise.If he can't do it then the only other,popular, actor I can think of who looks kinda like Max but has a good voice for the part is Hugh Jackman.

[FullMetalJacket]

I still think McCaffrey could dub his lines over whatever the actor says.

[Darkreaver]

I agree but that can't be done in a full length feature film, it's considered a waste of money.

[Maxtream]

Dubbing the original was already done in full length feature movies. For example Crying Freeman where
the female lead, played by Julie Condra, was dubbed by Canadian actress Deborah Unger (played Porter's wife Lynn in Payback). It was really worth it, because Unger has such a beautiful voice. A french actor in the same movie was also dubbed because of his accent.

I heard the dialogue in the Lord of the Rings movies was almost 100% ADR. Expenses of additional recording and voice actors is next to nothing compared the other costs of a movie production.

Personally, I find Max's voice very important but it's not like that James McCaffrey is the only actor with a fitting voice. However, I think he could do Max as an actor.

I swear to god, if 3DRealms are stupid enough to have Johnny Knoxville??? for the part, then thats their loss.

Get someone serious for the part... Not some loser who can't act or behave like a normal human being...

As someone said earlier on, about the Invisible man, the female scientist who gave Vince Vintresca (cant remember his name in the program) she could make a very good Mona Sax i think. Anyone else think so?

[Moonwalker]

Hey! I have never think about that, but you're right. Invisible man's Claire could make a good Mona.

[Joonas]

Hmm... that's good idea.

[Joe Siegler]

Again.. WHEN WE SOLD THE FRANCHISE WE SOLD ALL RIGHTS. If there's a Max Payne movie, we won't have anything to do with it.
