Anyone else pumped for the Max Payne movie?

Shawn Ryan's involved in this project (creator of the Shield, The Unit). This was one of my favorite PC games. And the good thing is Uwe Boll isn't involved in this one!

If done right it could be good. I am scared of movies from games though. They never seem to work out.

I was hoping they'd get Justin Timberlake. He's a brilliant actor I tell you.

puff daddy is neither white nor italian. how will that work? I dunno, it would have to be someone really awesome to play max payne, maybe a younger robert dinero, that would definitely work.

Puff Daddy is Black Italian, from a region near Naples.

Bruce Willis.

Clive Owen would be good

That's what I was thinking. Or maybe Hugh Jackman.

I don't like Bruce Willis in the role, it's too cliche.

The storyline is generic and tired. It would make a terrible movie; just like all other movies based on games. However, the games were awesome!

After seeing Running Scared...I'd even say maybe Paul Walker might be pretty good. He was SUPRISINGLY good in Running Scared. Like, to the point where i was like, "Holy crap, he can act!"

I can't wait to see a movie based on a game that is actually made well. It's refreshing to see that Uwe Boll has nothing to do with it though, it's definitely a good start.
