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.

WTF? What happened to word wrap? Half the story is trailing off the page.
Also, I don’t think Mila Kunis fits at all...but we’ll see.
Mila Kunis and a PG-13 rating = Me renting this movie.
Wut happened to the formatting?
Also fail movie is fail.
Oh wow.
No
Hitman was also rumored to be PG-13, but that was false. Don't believe everything you hear.
It's usually hit or miss with Wahlberg, so it already had about a 50% fail rate. Now it's about 149% (1% accounts for her being hot)
THIS JUST IN
this movie is going to suck
PG-13?
I can smell the fail already.
I'll still give it a shot. Four Brothers and Shooter were pretty entertaining, so I guess he can fit in well in those cheesey shoot em' up movies.
Though, I have only seen Mila in comedic-esc roles, her playing Mona has gotten me interested.
I cannot see this movie going anywhere good. :(
Might have had a chance with an R-rating, PG-13 guarantees shit-fest.
Too bad it wasn't Minka Kelly and an R rating ;)
Call me retard all you want but I for one liked the Double Dragon and Super Mario movies.
I refuse to believe that Marky Mark would allow such a movie to be PG-13. It should be a hard R. Hard R for hard ons.
@ liquidninja
retard
nice pic of her wearing them f-me boots.
i would watch her reading a phonebook.
Urge to watch: Rising.
I like to make sex with Mila if it pleases !
R-rating, or I'll just wait until it's at the $1 cinema. That way it would be cheaper than a dvd rental (including Netflix) or VOD.
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)!
PG-13? Wait, how many times was the word "fuck" used in Max Payne 2?
fail. they should have cast rena sofer as mona sax.
God she's an ugly whale. I'd pay money only if the funds from the movie helps bring her back to the ocean. Leaving her beached like that could cause a stir.
This movie is going to suck just like all the other video game movie adaptations.
More proof that movies and videogames should stay as far away from each other as possible. The only games I can think of that would make good movies are the Metal Gear series. Hell, they're practically movies already. There hasn't been a really good game based on a movie since Goldeneye.
I'll wait till I see some footage to judge it. If they keep with the film noir theme of the game, and do it well, it could be a decent movie. But somehow I can see this going south, especially if they don't make it an R rated movie.
Movie ruined
anyone around 13 would only care about a halo movie.
Mila Kunis and film noir? Doubtful.
They're going to do terrible terrible things to one of my favourite games.
Walberg is old enough to be her dad. That's so gross ><
I know film is suppose to add 10 pounds but does it also add another foot in height? Why can't Hollywood cast actors that look or at least have the same build as the video game characters? What is this Dwarf-O-Rama?
i'm just gonna say it. i'd lick her toes haha
@ Tgammet:
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.
The best thing they could do is make a neo noir film and aim for it to be completely over the top.
Fuck this lame ass sackload of shit. Mark wahlberg looks and sounds absolutely nothing like max payne. Mila kunis sounds like a chipmunk, mona sax should not. A PG-13 film of max payne just plain won't work. I will be avoiding.
Being that the game was given the late teen to adult rating of M for violence drug references, language sexual themes etc. I really don't see this movie living up to the type of action and content that inspired it by toning it down the the preteen rating of PG-13.
I never played the game, so I can't really judge for myself, but is this worthy of a movie? I honestly didn't hear hordes of people clamoring for a Max Payne movie. As Zecahrai pointed out, it's been a while since their last game, so is Max Payne relevant any more?
This is quickly sliding down toilet and around the U-bend to meet all the other game-film adaptations that ended up being steaming turd piles.
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.
Please dont suck game movie!
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"
15-rated game into PG-13 movie won't go. Doesn't fit, never will. :O(
Nerds overreact to unsubstantial news about movie. Heath Ledger rolls in his grave. More at 11.

oops, WTB delete button
i wonder how long it will be till a GTA film is announced, then it will succeed in ruining all my favorite games by making them into films. I like Marky wallberg tho, mila kunis is hot aswell but i hope it has the same atmosphere as the games.
TITS OR GTFO.
@Fronz
Good call with Minka Kelly, I can support that.
fucking HAWT. If they have Mark Wahlberg as Max Payne and Mila Kunis as the hot bitch, I want to see this movie.
Eye candy? EYE CANDY?! I'm sorry. I can't even come up with something funny to say about this. I'm sorry, but you're either attracted to men, little girls, or a weird combination of both. I'll be watching his movie on mute. Not that I would watch it, because it's bound to suck...
MissHinasaki-
The girl in your avatar looks a lot more like a boy than Mila Kunis does, who is indeed hot. At least you didn't call her a whale, though, which I really don't get. Could she be any *less* fat?
Oh well. It's TEH INTERNETS- there's always a few who have something negative to say about obviously attractive people.
