Yes they have finally made a Max Payne movie and its being released this 17th October. Mark Wahlberg is the Max Payne and Mila Kunis is Mona Sax,yuck! I mean since we were accustomed to a more sexier, mature and bold Mona , this Ukrainian chick, who speaks like a chirping weasel ain't gonna cut it. Goddammit don't they play games or at least ask people who do play 'em before selecting cast. After Hitman another good Game-to-Movie transition goes down the sewer.

Mila Kunis?Isn't this the girl that plays Meg in Family Guy?LOOL
IMO she isn't appropriate for Mona's role.

Yep, she is the one. I would have liked Monica Bellucci as Mona.

And Hitman didn't suck at all IMO, not all the hype, but it was a pretty decent movie for what it's worth.

Sayz who.. The story never finished.. And if u have listened to da ending credits.. It says something bout 'max payne journey will continue till' or something like that.. Even take two had hinted on their website long ago wen max payne 2 went big..And Mona still being alive...

If you all remember, in the game there were those episodes when Max was in dream/hallucination state, maybe they replaced those moments with those dark angels…, but I guess that remains to be seen. Anyway, it looks surprisingly well, they really played the game it seems, and they got in the spirit of it. Can’t wait to see it!

I'm expecting Bullet time effect in this movie...Otherwise it will become yet-another-action-movie...If I am not wrong, Max Payne introduced Slow-Motion in games...

Yes ...
But there are other Hollywood movies released which have also used Slow Motion & Shoot Dodge ...

Latest Movie I saw featuring them .... Wanted. (Stunts are cool here ... Story is OK )

Now, most of the action movies do have bullet time effect ( slow mo, at least). So to dissociate it from other action films, it just has to stay true to game's script(ie. retain the core feel of the game) ( thought game's script had potential to be a good,dark, action, thriller).

I saw the trailer and liked what I saw. But I would have preferred the MP voice actor to do MP's part. For me the best part about MP is his baritone voice. And that guy is an actual actor.

They're going for a more "Sin City" style theme in the movie I thought, which could be good, depending on how they work it out. Mark Wahlberg is the PERFECT Max Payne. As for Mila Kunis, don't underestimate her. She's an incredibly talented actress, and I'm optimistic as to how she will play the role. From the trailer, she looked bad-ass enough. =D

I hope this will be good :).

I dunno this actress but I think she will do it fine. Mark Wahlberg is awesome.

Hope so.
The game was very popular ... It will be tuff to match its reputation though.

Yeah ,and IMHO the guy who portrayed Max Payne in first movie looked that he really was on the fringe of sanity and could pull of those shootouts that he does in the game.
The second was good to play but didn't have that feel to it.
