Beyond that, I think Mark can really fit the part. He's a damn good actor, so there's no reason why he can't portray Max. Who else would you pick? Jason Statham?

Max doesn't wear a floral shirt in the second game. Marky's obviously portraying the Max Payne from Max Payne 2 instead of Sam Lake's original version of Max Payne.

@Mr.SithNinja: All of these have been candid shots... they aren't from the movie itself.

I keep laughing at people saying "Payneish" cause it sounds like a drunk guy referring to his junk. Surely my immaturity knows no bounds.

@Witzbold: Those look to be candid set photos. I seriously doubt they would have Max running around, jumping through the air in bullet time in suit and tie.... but you never know I guess...

i think the correct facial expression is secondary to his ability to melodramatically wax philosophical about ANYTHING in a monotone voice...

seriously, i hope he does that, and does it well :-P

He doesn't look constipated enough. In the top picture he's close but not quite there yet.

Now, if he just keeps the face he's got in the first pic throughout the whole film... we may have a winner on our hands.

I am actually kinda excited for this one... if anyone can play a brooding badass its Marky Mark. I point to his work in 4 Brothers as an example of this. The announced Mila Kunis to the cast who I can only imagine will be Mona Sax although her voice is a bit too high for Mona's usual tone, but she is hot which I'm sure was the bigger consideration for the casting people

@LittleBigPlaneteer: Behind Enemy Lines as people have said, was pretty good but it got a bit of a beating from the snotty film critics.

Omen however, well.. how could any respectable director touch that thing? Catholic possession and/or demon films are a career death trap.

i actually like that they chose him.
i mean, ok, he isnt a max payne-lookalike, but it could have been worse.

my personal favorite was the young bruce willis. he has that desperate facial expression that max payne had in the first game.

Hope they can fix his costumes in the rest of the shooting/post-processing. Looks far too clean-cut and rigid for Payne.

@Ocelot13: Nah, that's the GTA3 movie. Amazing similarities to GTA3(already a criminal, shot by loved one, all about revenge more or less), not so much to Max Payne(originally/still a cop, loved ones killed, about revenge and conspiracy).

Didn't know about Payback being a Point Blank remake though, I'll have to go check that out.

@LittleBigPlaneteer:

Well one of the characters from Behind Enemy Lines has inspired the main character in GTA4. So it has all come around full circle.

Saw the post earlier about this, and based on that, doesn't seem like it maintains much of the plotline of the game. Oh well, that doesn't necessarily mean it'll be bad - I hope.

Malmer — Tue, 11 Mar 2008 02:48:55 MDT

@platinum: I second that. The ugly colorful shirt/tie really set a contrast to the series' dark nature.

Seems they went with the extreme dark hard-boiled with no tint of humor whatsoever.

Technically, those are picture of Marky on set, not really Marky as Payne... Can't you see he's... smiling ?! Max Payne don't smile, Max Payne shoot you.

And yes, the Hawaiian shirt and white t-shirt need to happen.

I'm cautiously Optimistic about this, Walhberg usually picks good movies to be in, and of course... as long as it's not Boll, I think we'll be fine.

Now that I think about it... couldn't they have gotten Timothy Gibbs to play the part?
