Yes, you heard me right – Mark Wahlberg, a.k.a.Dirk Diggler/Marky Mark/Izzy Cole (ad nauseam) will be playing Max Payne in the new motion picture to be directed by John Moore (Behind Enemy Lines). According to Variety online, the live-action adaptation of the bestselling Max Payne franchise from Rockstar Games will begin filming early next year.
That is all fine and dandy, I mean Mark Wahlberg is a decent actor, despite being Calvin Klein’s favorite underwear model, and hopefully the director and movie studio will not turn the great Max Payne into a steaming pile of… well you know. What I want to know is, when the hell is Max Payne 3 going to come out? With Rockstar getting a movie made about our favorite noir hero, hopefully a new one will be in the works – and have NOTHING to do with the movie.

Oh great, another movie my wife can drool over.
What does Rockstar have to do with max payne?
I’m with ya, when is the next Max Payne coming out?
???? – Because Remedy Entertainment is affiliated with Rockstar Games.

hmm I forgot that rox was the…. producer? And maybe owns the rights to the name. But when you speak about games… who cares a **** about who produces/publishes them. No matter how good they are, the game is made by developers
Remedy is far too busy turning Alan Wake from a tech demo into a game. Since Rockstar owns the Max Payne IP, they could technically do whatever they want with it… like hand it off to another developer.
Being the huge Max Payne fan that I am, I’d rather wait until Remedy frees itself up to dedicate itself to any possibility of a Max Payne sequel. Any other developer trying to tackle a Max Payne sequel would have a lot to live up to. Fans being rabid dogs and all…
