Mark Wahlberg in Payne

This is still a rumor but a good one. The screen adaptation of Remedy Entertainment’s multi-award winning game, Max Payne, about a cop and his vengeful journey through New York, is finally being made into a movie. Max Payne was a major hit and a very popular game; the game introduced the concept of Slow-motion action, also called Bullet Time. Check out the video below to see Max Payne in action.

The movie will start shooting in March this year and if rumor is to be believed, Mark Wahlberg  will be playing the role of Max Payne, a great choice for the role. One cannot forget Mark’s strong performance in “The Departed”, just cut the crazy talk and you have a strong character resemblance. The movie is supposed to be released in 2010, here’s hoping we see a teaser soon, in the meanwhile enjoy this trailer of an indie film based on Max Payne.
