Photos of Max Payne Set (Nothing Crazy)
TheExit | 11:05 PM on 03.16.2008 5 comments


I was in Toronto this weekend with my girlfriend, staying a the Suites at 1 King West. When we checked into the Hotel we were told 20th Century Fox was filming a movie. So I asked which one, and it was Max Payne! No joke! They had helicopters flying between buildings and the hotel at night, and sets were being setup in the morning. We weren't allowed anywhere outside near the helicopter scenes so there aren't any photos of it. In the morning, they were turning Younge St. into one of the snow scenes, so no one was allowed near the one section with all the snow machines, and they were filming driving and fire fight scenes supposedly as our hotel clerk informed us.

The others are just NYPD cars and a SWAT van, and the outside of a building being dressed as NYC Police Department. We didn't get to see Mark Walhberg as he wasn't staying at our hotel, but these shots I thought were pretty cool to see. I hope you enjoy.

PS: If you can make it to Toronto, go and see the Evil Dead Musical. My girlfriend took me to see it again for the second time on Saturday, and hot damn! Ryan Ward should be Bruce Campbells brother! Its so funny, and bloody, and full of Evil Deadness and bloody! Man, one song is called "What the F*%K was that?" Can you get any better?

Maybe it's strange, but the fact that they are keeping the snowstorm setting (at least for part of it) makes me more optimistic for this film. Hope it's good...

This movie is going to be shit.

I really hope there aren't any sword fighting scenes in this movie. Why do video game based movies always have sword fights? Hitman had one, House of the Dead had one...

I get the feeling Mark Walhberg won't be able to realistically pull of that constipated look that Max always has.
