Oh well, at least it's not being done by Uwe Boll.
I bought those two games off of Steam a couple of months ago. Absolutely brilliant. Not convinced about the film...

It will never be as good as the games, but its still worth watching I think.
I played Max Payne for Hours and hours just to interact with the enviroment, I absolutely loved that game! Was the first game i played with the whole new concept like Half Life 2.
My god how far games have come since my first ever experience with Chuckie Egg on the BBC Micro!!
Dun dun dun dun Duun duun duuun dun dun duuuuuun.
Good music, too.

Am i the only one who thinks the trailer looks quite good? It's one of the only games i can think of that seems ripe for a good game to film transition including alot of action.
I always thought the Hartigan sections of Sin City felt very Max Payne esque.

Ruined by Max running with folders and essentially tripping up.
I had a friend who i've not seen for five years... who looked just like him and sounded just like him...
I'm really disappointed by the trailer :(

Name one good video game film.
yeah ... playing 'Max Payne' was amazing. I enjoyed playing it in a darkened room with earphones. And .. by the way ... if you did'nt played the hardest difficulty degree ... do it: The end of the story is another there.

Doom and Silent Hill. I like the look of the Max Payne trailer too. I think Postal would've been a great film if it had been released.

Doom a good film based on a game ? you must have seen a different version to me.
I did tink Resident Evil was a good attempt though.

Crap done by Uwe Boll does not deserve a mention.
No.
All video game movies suck!
If Hollywood runs out of ideas they make this piece of shit.
those who think it's looking good... Tell me what's good about it please !

If this movie sucks I will do violence upon those who made it O_O
Max Payne is a good candidate for translation to film. The preview looks solid, but I'm confused by the demon-things. I really hope those are supposed to be Max's hallucination. If hell or the supernatural is actually involved the film will be pure rubbish.
Doom failed as a movie for two reasons. 1.) they left out hell (equivalent to a Half Life movie with no crowbar). 2.) the BFG is fired twice...and misses both times.

If you enter a movie, like I did Doom, with very low expectations, sometimes you may be pleasantly surprised.
It wasn't the greatest movie ever, but it was certainly entertaining. One thing you always must do is divorce the idea that the video games will even come reasonably close to the original game plot.
Uwe Boll, however, is just garbage.
Silent Hill was flawed, too. I like this guy's review (http://www.filmfocus.co.uk/review.asp?ReviewID=20661) of it. ;) Incidentally, that site was built and owned by an ex-Neocron GM who now works for Rotten Tomatoes.

I sense sparks ;)

j/k ofc.
Anyways, i thought "Doom", "Silent Hill" and all of the "Resident Evil" movies were goog.
Then again the only one of those I played as a game was the doom series (all the doom games).
As for the max payne film.. I haven't watched the trailer yet, but I fear that they will ruin it.
They'll either be making a poor matrix clone or a movie that has nothing to do with the game, those are my fears.

I agree. Doom sucked, resident evil sucks, silent hill sucks, hell they all suck!
Hey but think about... HITMAN ... That one was ok or not ? :)
BTW: You know what would be a cool film :P NEOCRON xD
The Storyline + The Story which we have been written with our playing ;)
greeetz*Neill*
No one liked "Hit Man"?
I thought that jumped from game to screen fairly nicely, but then with all that precision killing and a beer in hand, what wouldn't look good?

The casting is all wrong.
Meg from Family Guy is playing the moody femme fatale Mona Sax.
Great call :rolleyes:

I'll give you my signed poster from Uwe Boll, I don't want it!

You do know she Doesn't actually look like Meg from the cartoon right? If so, whats the problem? Mila Kunis is a hot looking chick.

Until she opens her mouth and then she whines like a cheerleader on her period.
We need a real woman to play mona.
This film will suck balls and can be found in your bargain bin not far from now.
