Miller Tones Down Max Payne Film Criticisms

PC - Max Payne - Miller Tones Down Max Payne Film Criticisms

Edge writes: "After expressing "bewilderment" at specific inconsistencies between the Max Payne games and the recently-released movie adaptation, 3D Realms CEO Scott Miller, whose company produced the game series, has toned down his criticisms.

"To be clear, I'm proud of this film," Miller told Edge in a follow-up statement.

"Making films is much different than making games, because there's a lot more money involved, and a lot more people involved. What often happens is people get involved who do not fully understand the property and therefore try to take it in the wrong direction."

PC - Max Payne - "Nobody ever cried over a videogame character's death" claims film critic

Having recently viewed Max Payne and written up a review for it, where it was discussed how the film is an insult to the game and loses all of the interesting aspects of the game's intelligent and thought provoking plot, TVGB went online to see what fellow film critics had to say about it. We were confronted with one of the most insulting and ignorant statements about gaming we have ever read: "As good as a couple of its action beats are, Max still suffers from the heartlessness that makes games emotionally inferior to movies. Nobody ever shed a tear over a video-game character's death."

Mark Wahlberg lands Max Payne movie role

PC News | Max Payne

Former rapper turned actor Mark Wahlberg is to play Max Payne on the silver screen. Reported on Variety, the move adaptation of the gritty bullet-dodging action series will begin shooting next year, and will be directed by John Moore, whose directing credits include Behind Enemy Lines. Question is, will he carry the permanent expression of needing a really good shit? We're also wondering whether this means a third Max Payne game is on the offing. It's been some time, after all, since The ... » Read More
