A couple of new details for the Max Payne movie have been revealed today. First off, That '70s Show and Family Guy star, Mila Kunis, will be playing a major role in the movie. IGN believes that Mila will be playing as Mona Sax from Max Payne 2. Her character is described as "an assassin who teams up with Max Payne to avenge her sister's death" which seems to resemble Mona. That isn't confirmed yet, but at least we have some decent eye candy in the movie now.
In other Max Payne movie news, the first shot of Mark Wahlberg as Max Payne has been released. Nothing too special about the shot, just shows Mark getting into a car while it's raining. Aside from that, DarkZero has heard that the movie is shooting for a PG-13 rating. Max Payne was all about the extreme violence so hearing any rumblings of a toned down movie is a real downer.
Do you think this movie has a chance at all or is it going to suck just like all the other videogame movie adaptations? We'll know for sure sometime in 2009 when the movie comes out.

Also, I don’t think Mila Kunis fits at all...but we’ll see.
Also fail movie is fail.
this movie is going to suck
I can smell the fail already.
Though, I have only seen Mila in comedic-esc roles, her playing Mona has gotten me interested.
retard
And why are people unhappy with Mila Kunis involved? Secretly, we all dream of tapping some Meg Griffin ass (even if she was really Meg Griffin)!
They're going to do terrible terrible things to one of my favourite games.
He probably IS her dad. Marky Mark and the ladies?
Most of the people that Played and loved the Original Max Payne are now late teens early twenties, or well into there adult lives. So a PG-13 rating is ludicrous. They haven't made a new game for 4 years! The kids these days wont give a fuck about the movie. So why rate it down?
But regardless, If Marky Mark gets the Funky Bunch involved = Instant win.
Misled by it not having universally awful reviews, I made the mistake of watching Hitman the other day. Turned that heap of shit off before the halfway mark, it was an insult to the games' fanbase.
Jesus, we really need to stop paying for anything and everything with our favourite games attached to them, maybe then they'll start actually trying to make good adaptations.
This was seriosuly the bes Rockstar story and i have such fond memories of planning the second. I saw some five minute amatuer thing and if this doesnt compare ill be so fucking pissed off!
I mean common all you have to do is put it in black and white or grainy film noir, have john woo angles but a few more close ups and have a constantly narrating monologue of how "The rain was falling down like god was taking a leak all over my face"
