   Mark Wahlberg is Max Payne
  Well, at least according to this. Sure, it says "in negotiations" but from what I've read elsewhere its really a done deal.I liked most of the stuff Wahlberg's done recently, but I still think he's no good for the role of Max Payne. I think the best cast for Max Payne would be Christian Bale. I saw him in "Equilibrium" the other day and he looks just like Max Payne in that (the Max from Max Payne 2). Plus, he's a really good actor.Discuss. ;-)   
  I like Marky Mark.  Four Brothers was good (I liked it anyway) and Shooter has me almost convinced that he could play a certain snake that is solid if he wanted to...  But if Max Payne is it then great.  Can't really complain about this. [smile]   ;  Cant forget about The Departed.Hes a decent actor and he has a hardass look about him too. Hes as good a choice as anyone.   ;  It's funny, because Max Payne in the first game looks a lot like Mark Wahlberg, but in the second game looks more like Christian Bale.  But notice how the actress they have rumored to be playing Mona Sax, appeared in an episode of Entourage, a show which Wahlberg "executively produces".  Coincidence?  I think not!  But they really need to find a good Mona Sax.  That decision can really make or break the movie since she's an important part of the romantic subplot.Overall I'd much prefer a third game over a movie, but what can you do.   ;Quote:Original post by Harry HuntI think the best cast for Max Payne would be Christian Bale.

Otherwise, that plot is going to be wasted :);  Well I still think that its Eric Mabius from Resident Evil (film) and Ugly Betty. Is it just me?   ;  Wahlberg can do it.  I hope he spends the first ten minutes walking into shit and knocking it down.   ;  Can't wait to see this, and I'm pleasantly surprised that this thread isn't full of redundant Wahlberg bitching. I really liked the story of the first Max Payne game. I should grab the second one some time.   ;Quote:Original post by Iron Chef CarnageWahlberg can do it.

I really liked him in the movie The Big Hit. That movie was great, with all the humour and all. It even includes some awe-inspiring technology like the Tracebuster, the Tracebuster-buster, and the Tracebuster-buster-buster.
