Max Payne the movie - Rated R

No talent? No talent? Have you seen his other movies? Like 3 Kings for example. Marky Mark Wahlberg is a mighty fine actor. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Yes, I've seen Boogie Nights and Three Kings. In the former he was okay but in the latter he was really bad.

First you say the actor playing Max shouldn't be a famous person, and then you suggest Bruce Campbell? I smell contradiction! Mr. Campbell is a very well known actor, I knew him way before I knew who Mark Wahlberg was.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

My mistake using the word famous(replace it with movie star). Let's make a small assumption that Miramax would target this movie for a main stream viewer, who isn't a Max Payne fan or a person with movies as a hobby, but a person who watches one or two movies in the theaters in a month. I can bet that about 9 out of 10 of these main stream viewers wouldn't recall Bruce Campbell's name at all, because Mr. Campbell isn't a celebrity like Mr. Wahlberg is. He had a few movies in the eighties and early nineties, but after that there hasn't been really anything besides different tv series. So in other words he is unknown in the eyes of the audience.

What? You want Beethoven for the soundtrack?

[FullMetalJacket]

Ok, what if the Max Payne movie doesn't come out till 2007? By then the phenomenon would be over and no one would want to see it.

And I should play Max because I've been in two movies before (THE WRITING ON THE WALL and WARNING SIGN), I'm the right age, have the right looks, and am a tarthead.

Oh my god. Edward Norton would be perfect. Take a look at his facial expressions in the middle/end Fight Club. They're dark and moody. Perfect for Max Payne. He has the facial features too.


Also, John Woo hands down. Hell, the game takes off his style of directing. Who else to capture the essence of the game than the man himself?

[The Ghostryder]

Da Da-Da Dah

Yes, you certainly are a tarthead. um, never mind.

Funny, although I loved fight club and edward norton was really great in it. I don't see him as the part of max payne. Maybe Christian Slater(spelling?), or maybe just an unknown actor?

[Boo Boo Juice]

Uh, El Mariachi, Max Payne isn't really a big beefed up guy. Thats why Edward Norton and Brad Pitt would be good for the parts. They look like him. I choose Brad Pitt, his look in seven reminded me a lot of max payne.

Sorry I'm a tad bit late. But I have somehow acquired a life. Damn it's weird. I now leave my room. But there is always a special place in my heart for this forum. [img]smilies/images/icons/grin.gif[/img] Yeah right.

Ok, here is my suggestion. Edward Norton play Max. Quentin Tarintino directs. Robert Towne in conjuntion with Sami Jarvi write, and I don't know much about producers but I think Mel Brooks could do it. [img]smilies/images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

I mean Edward Norton is a very versitile actor. Quentin Tarintino is a directing genius and he is the one that brought John Woo to the United States. He was the one that prodded the CEO or President or some other high position of Universal to allow him to direct.

LOL. Tarantino doesn't do action movies.

Reservoir Dogs
Pulp Fiction
Jackie Brown
are not action movies.

umm... are ye bein on crack????? i would say resevoir dogs is a high class action movie.......

ot action/drama

there defineately has the "action" in it

[Gryph]

Exactly nate. That movie was so good. I am wearing a Reservoir Dogs shirt right now actually. That is what sparked that in my mind. Pulp Fiction was very very very cool. One of my faves. Jackie Brown was pretty OK.
He is cool.

And Edward Norton still gets my vote for Max Payne.

FFS! Who's on crack?!!!
Reservoir Dogs is my favourite film - see my quote! but it is NOT an action movie. To see an action watch Desperado or From Dusk Till Dawn (my second favourite movie). Or watch John Woo movies. Those are action movies!!!!!!!!!!! Watch Jerry Bruckhiemer and Don Simpson films, watch James Cameron films... but NOT Quentin Tarantino movies!!!! They may have slight momments of action in them (Mr White firing his Berattas in Dogs, Mr Pink's get away).. but to call them ACTION MOVIES is a misinterpretation of their genre! jesus.

Dog's is a heist film, without the heist, just the build-up and aftermath.
Pulp is a work of pulp fiction and small time gangstas.
Jackie's a re-working of the Blaxploitation genre and more drama and superior dialogue than action!!

But what they are not and can not be classified are ALL OUT ACTION FLICKS! FFS!!!

!!!! ARGHGHGGHGHGH!!!!!

*takes a deep breath after the shock of people claiming Quentin Tarantino is a director of action movies.. *

You mean like the Titanic? [img]smilies/mryuck.gif[/img]

LOL. J, you know i don't mean Titanic! Don't even mention that god-awful teenybopper mess of a movie to me.... It was so bad i think i needed therapy after seeing it.

[Gryph]

WOOHOO! Titanic!!

My fave movie!!! [img]smilies/images/icons/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Just because i might find the Teletubbies *mistakingly* put in the HORROR section doesn't mean it's a horror movie. So you see my point. [img]smilies/images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

actor: 2 (Walburg) or 3 (Crowe)
director: 1 (Woo)

[j]

Actor: 2 (Wahlberg)

Director: d (none of the above)

[melanko]

Max Payne the Movie should just be computer animated like Toy Story or the Final Fantsy Movie (FF7 rules!) [img]smilies/images/icons/cool.gif[/img]

[Shane]

No, it shouldn't......melanko

[Dunedain]

Come on, guys, what about Ray Liotta playing Max? Let's hear some opinions
on that. [img]smilies/images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

Good actor, right kind of look, believeable as a tough guy. I think
he'd do well.

As for the Soul Cinema version of Max Payne- Mr. T

[Gryph]

YOU ARE NOW ON MY COOL LIST TheBull!!

I pity the fool!

Mr. T should be Max in any event. He'll pity New York.

[Shane]

I'd pay good money to see Mr. T as Max

[jozzzup]

for a Max Payne actor, how abou that sam jarvi dude at remedy whose face IS maxes. (they mapped his face for max.)

because lets just say sami's voice wouldnt suit the character... or at least it might... if max payne were finnish

[jozzzup]

True, I didnt think of that. defeat freely admitted [img]smilies/images/icons/tongue.gif[/img]

[Gryph]

I saw this dude on the Metro and he looks just like Max Payne should. If I could track him down, he could be a Max.

LOL. stalking some guy who's probably never even heard of this game to get him to be in a movie that might be out in 5 years time (earliest).

gotta love it. [img]smilies/images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

[Gryph]

It could work. We could abduct him...who knows?

[Yuri]

is the MAx-Payne movie actually official like Duke Nukem movie? or are u guys guessing/hoping there mite be one?

[Yuri]

i really would like to know ^^

[Gryph]

In the press release it said there was going to be one. Don't know if it's official yet. I have heard that Mirimax has the rights to it.


By the way, lovely sig. [img]smilies/images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

[Srekel]

Nicholas Cage anyone?

[Newgate]

I too think it should be animated like the Final Fantasy movie. CGI has really come along way. Go see Shrek and you will see what I am talking about.

no,,, if it were cgi taht would be, gay
