Max Payne Movie Trailer is Live

[H.Bogard]

Shacknews (http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/53528) has the new Max Payne Movie Trailer featuring Mark Walberg as Max Payne.

Do yourself a favor and check this out.

Looks FUCKING awesome! As moody as the original... anyone know the name of the soundtrack playing in the background ?

[evilgoodwin]

Cool. I liked the original Max Payne and hope the movie will be good.

As long as there's no nightmare levels. Stupid blood trails...

[SilentScreams]

Looking good.

I think the soundtrack is a Marilyn Manson track. Can't think of the name.

Edit: It's 'If I Was Your Vampire'.

[lost]

Damn that actually looked quite good.

1 concern. Did I see Devon Aoki in there?

[SilentScreams]

Damn that actually looked quite good.

1 concern. Did I see Devon Aoki in there?

As long as all she has to do is stay silent and maybe kill a few people every now and again as in Sin City, I have no problem with her.

[Blue]

Wasn't too shabby. Not really into the way he dives or the part involving the shotgun (also diving) as it seems like they're trying to implement a gameplay mechanic into the film, but other than, pretty okay. I'll see it one way or another.

[Norse]

Everybody should pay to see this movie. Supporting it might be the best way to get a another game sequel out the door.

[Kryopsis]

That looks surprisingly adequate. I like Max Payne a lot and I'd love to have a good video-game-to-movie adaptation for once.

[kababa]

Game based on the movie based on the game.

[Eric_T_Cheng]

Mila Kunis is in it?! I thought she was cute in The 70s Show but lately she looks very hot and yummy.

[Sensei-X]

I want to like it, but Ludacris being in it really makes me doubt it'll be any good, then again he might surprise me. I'll hope for the best, but expect the worse.

[SuicideKing]

Ok, it was pretty much a must see for me anyways, what with the Max Payne + Markey Mark, but yeah, that trailer looks amazing.

[chirz]

Holy shit!! That looked great! I can't count the number of times I played through the two max payne games. I'm super excited. The article attached to the trailer says they're shooting for a pg-13 rating though... a bit bullshit. The game was dark and bloody, and I think the movie should be as well. I didn't appreciate the pg-13 Die Hard. I hope the same thing doesn't happen here.

[bapenguin]

Wow. Great atmosphere. Looks like they nailed it. Also, Mark has the "Max" voice down.

[H.Bogard]

Actually, 100% of the violence shown in the games would, when translated into a movie; be rated PG 13.

Hypocrites in the rating system, I say.

[jeffool]

I want to like it, but Ludacris being in it really makes me doubt it'll be any good, then again he might surprise me. I'll hope for the best, but expect the worse.He did one of the better jobs acting in Crash, and there were some pretty good people in there.

[Purple Santa]

Looks all kinds of awesome. I loved the games...but hearing that cheesy dialogue made me laugh out loud again. But that's the charm of MP...the cheesy dialogue...putting this on my fall movie list to see...

[Demo_Boy]

Looks dark and gritty. Does not appear on the surface to compromise the source material.

Now all they need to do is get a metacritic over 70 and ill go see it.

[Grey]

Any source for a HD DL version?

[Yeti2005]

I played Max Payne a while back. Were there supernatural elements in the game? I just remember shooting a lot of people in slow mode (I don't remember evil flying angels or anything like that).

[Mr.Green]

Well that came out of nowhere.

It looks like it might not suck completely. I think Walberg is a pretty good actor so I have hope.

[Qoz]

In the nightmare scenes all sort of weird stuff happened.
Perhaps an angel? Can't remember.

Saw Mila Kunis in "Forgetting Sarah Marshall".
she is seriously hot!!
It feels a bit odd, that she is the voice of Meg in Family Guy, when watching her in movies.

[AboveAvgCharles]

Yeah, I'm with Yeti. They nailed the Max Payne "look", but what is with the dark angels? Now, I can see this being a surrealistic interpretation of Max's perception of the world... very akin to the nightmare levels and such. But if he's actually fighting evil angels? Uh, yeah, that is a huge departure from the games... and makes it more like a hackneyed sequel to Constantine.

[Rafer]

But if he's actually fighting evil angels? Uh, yeah, that is a huge departure from the games... and makes it more like a hackneyed sequel to Constantine.

Cops vs. Angels? Sounds like "The Prophecy" from 1995.

[CoachCrazyMcScot]

I like the lack of hype about this movie, so far. If ever there was a possible sleeper hit it would be here.

[Flatpicker]

Yeah, I'm with Yeti. They nailed the Max Payne "look", but what is with the dark angels?

He alliterates in the game about Valkyr having something to do with angels. He also compares Mona to a dark angel at times. Chances are, this scene is either a drug induced nightmare or fever dream.

[Exodus]

It actually looked interesting! I haven't liked a movie based on a game in a while thanks for the heads up!

[Kem0sabe]

Mila Kunis... i would hit that in some many ways *sigh*

[Veregon]

Looks like they nailed the feel of the game, definitely interested in seeing this.

[EvilTheBadger]

Aw man, Devon Aoki? I've never understood her appeal. There's a million more accomplished actresses out there, who are actually asian. Plus she looks like an owl.

I'm excited for this though, who wouldn't be? Marky Mark in plenty of gratitous slow-mo shoot-outs.

Please don't suck... please don't suck...

[Dukefrukem]

Wow my expectations are completely blown away.

[EvilTheBadger]

Phew, it's not Devon Aoki. ++interest

[Uniqueusername]

Huh. It actually looks good.

I honestly did not consider this possibility.

[Slack3r78]

PG-13 is a disappointment, but it looks great otherwise. Did Sam Lake have any involvement in this project? /me heads to IMDB.

EDIT:

Sam Lake is the headline credited writer. Consider me fully captivated by the prospect of how good this movie could be. I actually have a lot of faith this will do Max Payne justice now.

[H.Bogard]

I played Max Payne a while back. Were there supernatural elements in the game? I just remember shooting a lot of people in slow mode (I don't remember evil flying angels or anything like that).

My guess is that it's a metaphor for 'Death'. He speaks of dead bodies calling to him while drowning... as well as the scene where the guy's falling out from the window and the Angel (of Death) taking him away.

Awesome.

[Venkman]

Try as he might, Wallberg can't sound grizzled.

[abso]

I'm so there. And for what its worth, to the guy that mentioned Ludacris, he is a decent actor if you just ignore the fact that he was in fast and the furious.

[Slack3r78]

HAHAHAHA

Police Chief Jim Bravura is played by.... Ludacris.

I must see this now.

[Typical_Michael]

That looks really cool. Really good trailer, I am excited.

[asimonk]

He alliterates in the game about Valkyr having something to do with angels. He also compares Mona to a dark angel at times. Chances are, this scene is either a drug induced nightmare or fever dream.

Max Payne: There was something disturbingly familiar about the note on the desk. The handwriting was all pretty curves.
Michelle Payne: [the note reads] You're in a computer game, Max.
Max Payne: The truth was like a green crack through my brain. Weapon statistics floating in the air, glimpsed out of the corner of my eye. the repetitious act of shooting, time slowing down to show off my moves. The paranoid feeling of someone controlling my every step. I was in a computer game. Funny as Hell, it was the most horrible thing I could think of.

Wasn't it a comic book that he was talking about? I could've sworn it was...

[LilAbner]

Time to install MP again, or pick it up in the Xbox bargain bin and fire it up on the 360.

[Psykoboy2]

"I don't know about angels, but it's fear that gives men wings."

[fishbang]

Holy Hell! I honestly never thought this film would be able to deliver the production style of the game, but I am very happy to be so very wrong.




EDIT:

Sam Lake is the headline credited writer. Consider me fully captivated by the prospect of how good this movie could be. I actually have a lot of faith this will do Max Payne justice now.

I am in complete agreement - this just seals the deal.

[Psykoboy2]

I had hope when:

1. Uwe Boll wasn't involved in any way.

2. Marky Mark's first picture as Payne.

Then I got scared when I saw "The Happening", but now I'm okay after that trailer. They look to be getting a lot of things right, and I hope Lake puts in a voice over about how he thinks he's in a movie this time.

[bryan]

Marky Mark was just seriously miscast in "The Happening", don't hold that against him.

[DraggnKnucks]

That looks pretty damn good. I won't hold my breath until I see the movie and find out it is as decent as the trailer. It would be nice to see a good game to movie transition for a change.

[JasonGrey]

I'll agree with it looking at least decent. The game-mimicking dives look a bit cheesy though.

Max Payne 2 was glorious. If they don't include some version of "Late Goodbye," I'll... well, I don't know WHAT I'll do.

[asimonk]

Wasn't it a comic book that he was talking about? I could've sworn it was...

There were 3 segments. I forget the order, but one was him realizing he was in a graphic novel, one was him being told he was in a video game and the third was Valkyr calling him on the phone.

[H.Bogard]

There were 3 segments. I forget the order, but one was him realizing he was in a graphic novel, one was him being told he was in a video game and the third was Valkyr calling him on the phone.

Ah, in MP 2 you can see V(with an injection drawn across the letter) = Vladimir writton on a wall during a dream segment.

[Conco]

Any source for a HD DL version?

VE3D Has a HQ version (http://ve3d.ign.com/videos/31425/PC/Max-Payne)but it isn't HD.

[oldschooldimo]

that looks fucking awesome. i cant wait.

[Libuke]

At about 50 seconds I think he is talking some pain killers.

[Smoof]

Looks cool. I'll be seeing it.

Hell, I still use my Max Payne mouse pad I got when the game first released. I've been using the thing for something like seven or eight years now, the longest I've ever used one, I like Max Payne that much :P

[Flatpicker]

I have to break out 1 and 2 for a replay.
Any word on an updated graphics version of them on the way?

[LongStepMantis]

I never played 2...so am I missing something with all the winged demon looking things?
The crazy nightmare level aside, there was nothing supernatural about the first game.

[Slack3r78]

No idea, but MP2 actually holds up relatively well graphics wise, for its age.

[LongStepMantis]

Marky Mark was just seriously miscast in "The Happening", don't hold that against him.

No one could have saved that movie. No one.

I think Marky Mark is at least an entertaining actor. I loved his part of the whiny, pushover hitman in The Big Hit.

[Food Nipple]

You just answered your own question.

[LongStepMantis]

You just answered your own question.

Unless I blocked it out, there weren't any crazy demon skeletons in that level.

I remember the blood trails and jumping through the darkness, but no skeletal demons. I guess I could be wrong, it's been a long time since I played it.

[Ultima Thulian]

Guess I'm in the minority, but I thought it looked kinda stupid. But it may be okay. But I wasn't really feeling it.

[Food Nipple]

I remember the blood trails and jumping through the darkness, but no skeletal demons. I guess I could be wrong, it's been a long time since I played it.

There weren't any, but I'm just assuming they decided that a demon made for a more interesting dream sequence than having Marky Mark jump over pits following a trail of blood.

[LongStepMantis]

There weren't any, but I'm just assuming they decided that a demon made for a more interesting dream sequence than having Marky Mark jump over pits following a trail of blood.

Point noted.

As a gamer geek however, having him jump over pits following blood trails in the darkness would fill me with glee. Because I could go "Hey, I remember that part!"

We love that kind of shit. ;)

[Flatpicker]

My guess is that it's a metaphor for 'Death'. He speaks of dead bodies calling to him while drowning... as well as the scene where the guy's falling out from the window and the Angel (of Death) taking him away.

Awesome.

From looking at Chud, it sounds like the angels are seen when under the effect of the Valkyr drug.

[Eric_T_Cheng]

Aw man, Devon Aoki? I've never understood her appeal. There's a million more accomplished actresses out there, who are actually asian. Plus she looks like an owl.

Thank God I'm not the only guy who thinks that! Her face looks like someone punched it in. Everytime I see her I want to punch in her face even more!

[tombofsoldier]

What was with the demon flying things?

[straximus]

http://www.penny-arcade.com/images/2001/20010730h.gif

[straximus]

What was with the demon flying things?

"The flesh of fallen angels!"

[Ultima Thulian]

http://www.penny-arcade.com/images/2001/20010730h.gif

That just made my day. Thank gawd fo Peny Arcade.

[LongStepMantis]

The reason I was concerned about the flying things is because they show them in the trailer repeatedly. If they're hallucinations, then either they decided to show every part that had them in the trailer, or they're just always around throughout the movie.

I guess you could say i was more curious as to how they fit in. Now that I kind of get why, I just want to know how often we'll be seeing them.

[ResistanceAddict]

That looks badass! The only thing that worries me is that it says the movie is rated PG-13. How can this NOT be rated R? That makes me think that some of the graphic things that made Max Payne memorable won't be in this movie, although I suppose they might have found a way (that trippy shit with Max running through the hallway with blood on the walls to walking on a blood trail in fucking space is so memorable I can't imagine it not having a place in the movie). Either way I can't wait to see it.

BTW, does anyone know the song that playing in the background?

[asimonk]

"The flesh of fallen angels!"

My first thought was "Look Mr. B, an aaaaangel....."

[GigaFuzz]

The music is "If I Was Your Vampire" by Marilyn Manson
iTunes link (http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?i=256012036&id=256012030&s=143444).

[ElfShotTheFood]

No, it was the game:

[GigaFuzz]

No, it was the game:

As someone else pointed out, it's both. I can't remember which comes first, but there are two sequences with similar formats. They probably both end in "It was the most horrible thing I could think of".

[ResistanceAddict]

Now I just hope the movie gets all of the story right, such as the whole Valkyr shit and Mona (that woman on the elevator has to be Mona), assuming they are making this movie a combination of both games.

[straximus]

The green light washed the lies away. My whole life was just frames, words hanging in the air like bubbles. I was in a graphic novel. Funny as Hell, it was the most horrible thing I could think of.

[Disgustipated]

Awesome, awesome, awesome. Max Payne deserves a great movie and here it is.

[Darkbase]

Guys...
nobody went to the website shown at the end?
I was hoping for a better quality trailer but all I got was a horrible confirmation...
those angels/demon things are real and Max will be battling them...
"Max is forced to battle enemies beyond the natural world and face an unthinkable betrayal"
well maybe it'll be like The Prophecy... that wasn't so bad.
*cries*

[straximus]

"Max is forced to battle enemies beyond the natural world and face an unthinkable betrayal"

Aww, damnit...

[muddi900]

Mary Mark vs. Freaky Angel-things. PLUS, Ludacris is in it. Directed by the guy who directed the Omen. Not the awesome classic, but the newer crappy one.

Count me out please.

It's good to know I'm not the only one! It's Marky Mark people! As gamers, we all know the epic level of phail he is capable of!

[MrBibbz]

Curiouser and curiouser ... I look forward to this hopefully this will make Uwe Boll bow out of the game movie business.

[MrE]

Woot! I cannot believe how awesome this looks. And yea, its Marilyn Manson's "If I was your Vampire". Already psyched for this movie.

[Xerxes]

I'm down. I like the visual style, the voice over, but I am one of the few freaked out about flying goblins.

[Xerxes]

No one could have saved that movie. No one.
Will Smith could of got it $100 million first weekend. And people would still give him another chance. I mean that's the facts.

[LongStepMantis]

You know what...you're right. The Fresh Prince phenomenon is one of the untapped mysteries of our universe.

[Vandabo]

I liked the trailer. However, I don't think Mark Wahlberg is doing much acting when he delivers that voice over. He's just mumbling to sound intense, like David Duchovny. It was the same thing in the movie Shooter. I still liked Shooter, though (surprised the hell out of me, too) and I may still enjoy this.

Seriously? Wow, I was totally 100% psyched for the movie until I read that. Please don't let it be true... which I would think not, just as I don't believe this will be a PG-13 movie.

[H.Bogard]

Huh? The Angels are real?

Whafuck?

[Exodus]

Hmm i think this talk of angels and demons is over reacting. They are more like an interpretation.. just like the game max payne has trouble deciphering reality from his mental problems.. I remember he describes people in the scenes as things knowing they aren't but giving off the symbology through dialogue coupled with comic art.

bahahaha symbology :)

bahahaha symbology :)

I'd figure the same thing. What I'm thinking is that after Max (and maybe thugs and whatnot in the movie) is drugged he encounters these things and can't determine whether they are real or not.

In any case, if it gets the story right at all I'll love the movie. It's nice to see a real dramatic story in an action atmosphere. This could potentially be a game-based movie people could take seriously as a whole. How great would that be? I'll keep my fingers crossed.

[Slack3r78]

Once again, if Sam Lake wrote the screenplay, it's been in good hands. As amazing a job as he did with the games, I have a hard time believing he'd jump the shark with literal angels here. My hunch is that they're more of the blur between reality and the surreal that the whole series has been steeped in.

[Pirate715]

From the official web site:

Based on the legendary, hard-hitting interactive video game. MAX PAYNE tell the story of a maverick cop determined to track down those responsible for the brutal murder of his family and partner. Hell-bent of revenge, his obsessive investigation takes him on a nighmare journy into a dark underworld. As the mystery deepens, Max (Mark Wahlberg) is forced to battle enemies beyond the natural world and face unthinkable betrayal.

I dont know but to me that last line makes it kinda sound like the winged things are not just a bad v-trip. Although after spending most of my afternoon watching the trailer, it seems to me like its the story form the first game. Some of those quick flash shots are sceen for sceen from the game.

I will chose to hold my breath

Well that would suck, but hopefully it is a V-trip. Let's also consider the fact that the movie might not implement Valkyr at all, but with Lake being involved, I have faith the story will at least be somewhat faithful to the game.

I just wonder if the movie will go as far as the second game goes and encompass Max's love affair with Mona.

[Schnoogs]

Looks all right...kind of generic. I'll wait for an HD trailer to get a better feel for the cinematograhy, etc.

You can grab a DVD quality version, it is linked a few pages back.

[Darkbase]

Yeah I already quoted the text you had there Pirate, but oh well. I hope the demon things are just dream sequences when he's on V. And for you Marky Mark haters, I think he did a great job in The Departed. The voice over in the trailer is pretty lame but it's better than no voice over, a likely decision because Hollywood and most people (i.e. idiots) hate voice-over narration. But like someone said, the art direction and cinematography look very promising, but then again that was the only good thing about the Hitman movie.
Ugh, it's like for every pro there is a con.

Don't sweat it. People bash great actors all the time for whatever stupid reason. I could care less. I don't care how much trash anyone will talk about Leonardo DiCapprio, it's not justified. The man is such a talented actor and has proved it, yet people talk a a lot of shit about him. Mark is a fine actor as well.

[Krispy]

I thought I would give you guys a bit to mull over: Leaked Script Here (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0467197/board/thread/109271654)

Seems to stay in tune with what was seen in the trailer so I think it is the real deal. The interesting part is it predicted the black angels and hallucinations. Good news :).

Awesome, now I have something to read on the flight to E3.

[Krispy]

A bit of a follow up. After reading through the script and doing some comparisons, it is an actual copy albiet and early draft since some of the characters in the script are not actually included in movie. You can find a lot of the lines from the trailer in the script though, and it firmly concretes that the black winged creatures are HALLUCINATIONS. A side effect of V being so prevalent, it is supposed to give you the feeling of being suffocated, making you hear flapping and the brain interprets it as wings of fallen angels, or in the script they call them Valkyries.

[Krispy]

Can I not edit my own post?

Anyways, a quick side note. No pill popping. Sorry, folks.

I sure hope so, seeing as the more I watch the trailer the more they seem real based on a few things, like the woman in the alley seeing the shadow of the angel, as well as the man who says, "The Devil is building his Army." Of course, a LOT of characters in the story use Valkyr if I remember correctly. If they are hallucinations, I hope they don't overdo it on the angels (seeing as how they are shown so much in the trailer this worries me) and pay enough attention to Max's other hallucinations (His son's room, etc.).

Wow. I just clicked that link and read some things that pleased me and shocked me, but also some things that just made me disappointed. But that's me. I'd recommend not clicking that link... seriously...

[Krispy]

If the final cut is anything like the script, the winged black figures just signify how deep you are into V hell. It starts as something passing and builds up to overpowering hallucinations. I think they cut the trailer that way to get people who aren't familiar with the game interested in the movie. It wouldn't be the first time a movie's trailer was cut in a misleading manner.

[Slack3r78]

Eh, you can see shot blockings and the like, but, no, you don't get a full feel for cinematography at Youtube resolutions.

Max Payne has never really been about telling the story literally.

[Grey]

Is there any downloadable version online yet anywhere?

Is there any downloadable version online yet anywhere?

IGN has a slightly different trailer (added scenes) in HD (720p):

There's an interesting scene were you can seen a couple of "Angels of Death" flying towards Payne when he's in some building and he breaks/shoots the window from which they are coming and when the glass shatters, the angels disappear.

I actually think the other one flows a little better editing wise, but HD is yummy.

I HAVE SPOKEN. in HD

Looks meh. I think an M rated game should make for an R rated movie.

I was actually impressed because I seem to remember that being a frame from one of the games.

That's odd. I don't have an Insider account and I'm not even logged on to IGN and I can still download it fine.

Try the direct link:

if not, Demonoid has it (legal; this is a torrent of the trailer):

Could be a 'not available in Europe' thing, as the same thing applies to me.

I keep having the same problem. The thing is, it says Free Downloads. Insider content is usually marked by a little logo next to the download. Some bug somewhere?

Hm thanks but demonoid registration is closed.

You don't need to register. There's a 'click here to download torrent' link on that page.

Edit: My bad, doesn't work any more. Looks like I downloaded it just in time.

[Ozeki]

I uploaded it on mediafire for those who can't seem to get it from anywhere.

Here goes:

Thank you very much.

Wow okay, this looks really nice, didn't expect something like that.

Could be the second good game movie (the other one would be Silent Hill. No, Resident Evil isnt one that list cause the Zombies were lame :P)

[Ulysses]

Well the -trailer- seems ok, still sense failure about this. Although this is harder to screw up than say, Hitman, given the amount of plot in the game - so who knows. Mila Kunis certainly has the look of Mona (at least in Max Payne 2) down.

I paid to see xXx long ago, so I suppose I'll have to see this.
