Quote:

Twentieth Century Fox has Mark Wahlberg in the crosshairs for "Max Payne," a live-action adaptation of the bestselling Rockstar videogame that will begin early next year. John Moore will direct.

Wahlberg is negotiating to play the titular cop who is haunted by the tragic loss of his family and has little regard for rules as he investigates a series of mysterious murders. He finds himself up against an adversary bent on destroying Max and the streets he protects.

I hear Mark Wahlberg will be playing Max.

I wonder if he'll do a good job as him. I played and loved both games but I don't know if they'd make good movies. The story might be too typical, trashy noir when taken out of the videogame medium. Mark Wahlberg has also always been kind of hit-or-miss with me as he seems to always play himself in every role.
