Fathom Zero Looks to me like they've got the noir style in bits and pieces. The moves, though, they've got.

pac-man Video game movies are rarely worth watching. I'm fairly certain this will continue that tradition, no matter who plays whatever role. At least Uwe Boll isn't attached to this.

MetalMilitia I'm surprised that the latest trailer looks decent. A lot of people are dubious about Walburg as Payne but to be fair it could be much, much worse. Just imagine if they gave the role to Shia LeBouf or someone equally dreadful.

Ludicis - I agree terrible decision. This makes no sense.

Mila Kunis - Too young, doesn't look right. I almost want to say this would be a good role of Angelina Jolie; she is the right age and looks the part, it's just a shame she's such a dreadful actor. Perhaps Rosario Dawson - yeah I could totally see that:



This is one of those weird situations where the game actually had really well written dialogue so the film is going to have to emulate the style perfectly to be successful.

I disagree with BlackHexen - "Shoot 'em up" or a Woo movie wouldn't be a suitable style for the Max Payne world. Sin City seems much more appropriate in my opinion.

I like it.

BlackHexen I hope that movie is more near to "Shoot em up", John Woo's movies or "Payback" than other videogame movies. Not a fucking rated 13 light action. Nad this movie has to be dark for real, not just trying to be cool with darkness.

10,000 Volt Ghost Just watched Forgetting Sarah Marshall and Mila was pretty good in it. Still heavily doubting Ludacris though.

Fat_Hippo Keira Knightley as Mona Sax? Forget it! Keira Knightley is a friendly looking girl, while Mona Sax should be a sleek, elegant femme fatale with a deep voice and good aim. She wouldn't fit the role at all. I don't even know who Kunis is, but Keira Knightley would NOT work as Mona Sax.

Edit: I just looked up who Ludacris is, and all I have to say is: hahahahhahahahhahahahhaha...what kind of fucking retard made these decisions. This is just sad, in a funny kind of way.

Madface Mark Wahlberg is way too fucking questionable for a role as Max Payne. I'm just not feeling it. Mila Kunis is a bad idea. Ludacris is an absolutely shit idea. Karl Urban probably would do worse than Wahlberg though...I mean he was in chronicles of riddick, Doom, Pathfinder and shit else. Kiera Knightley could do well if she wuld eat a few burgers.

Beyond that, I believe there are many other actresses in Hollywood who a better qualified for the role.
in saints row she plays a back stabbing bitch and does an awesome role up until

Spoilers!

10,000 Volt Ghost Mila was in american Psycho 2, which I haven't seen but heard she was pretty good in it.

Zomboid No, but he'd be wonderful at Max Paynier!
Apr 24th, 2008 05:03 PM
Fathom Zero Here's a pitch:

JAKE BUSEY AS MAX PAYNER
Apr 24th, 2008 11:03 AM
eggyolk Wahlberg? ugh. atleast he has some experience i suppose. i think he's got too pretty of a face though for someone as rugged as max. then again...

Thomas Jane was another one I had in mind. If Kiefer Sutherland were a little younger he'd also be pretty good.

At any rate, I don't know, maybe I don't watch enough movies anymore to know who's really out there. But even if you think Mark Wahlberg can at least put a spin (however unnecessary) on Payne's character, you have to appreciate that Kunis is a terrible choice for Mona, and Ludacris playing Jim Bravura? Sometimes a name can be all too appropriate, I guess.

T-Rex Keira Knightley, I'd tap you two times.
Apr 23rd, 2008 03:02 AM
StalfrosGR The Departed wasn't "Best Picture" quality- but Walhlburg had the best performance in it. Because I said so...
Apr 22nd, 2008 08:33 PM
Fathom Zero But you like dick, so you still lose.
Apr 22nd, 2008 08:02 PM
Pub Lover Nope, I hate Andy Dick.
Apr 22nd, 2008 08:00 PM
10,000 Volt Ghost Really, people thought the Departed was a bad movie? Probably the same people who like Andy Dick.
