How much money do videogame movies actually make? (Feature)

Mar 19, 2009

Yeah, yeah, videogame movies suck. We're bored of saying it. But regardless of the suckage and widespread critical kicking they receive, they just keep on coming. Why so? We doubt that they're made for the love of it, so it must be because they can actually make a few bucks at the box-office. Can it really be true and, if so, how much money do video game movies actually make?

We picked 10 videogame movies and found out how ...

Miller Tones Down Max Payne Film Criticisms (News)

Oct 23, 2008

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."

3D Realms "Bewildered" by Max Payne Flick (News)

Oct 20, 2008

20th Century Fox said over the weekend that revenues from the new Mark Wahlberg-starring game-movie Max Payne hit $18 million in North America, topping the box office.

Reviews have been roundly terrible, however. Even Scott Miller, CEO of 3D Realms, the producer behind the Max Payne games, found the flick straying significantly from its source material.

"There are several fundamental story flaws ... in the film that have me shaking my head in bewilderment," Miller told Edge

"Nobody ever cried over a videogame character's death" claims film critic (News)

Oct 16, 2008

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."

Max Payne: The first great videogame movie? (Feature)

Aug 4, 2008

Last time out, Mark Wahlberg was fighting a mighty wind (The Happening). He didn’t look too comfortable… There was much brow-furrowing and air-gazing and short-sleeve shirt wearing…For Max Payne, Wahlberg is ditching the elemental for the supernatural and, in a hangar-sized suite at London’s Mandarin Oriental, he’s comically at ease: slumped back on a sofa in trainers and worryingly tracksuit-like ...

New Max Payne movie shots emerge (News)

Jun 20, 2008

Three new pictures from the new Max Payne movie have emerged online, revealing an NYPD squad vehicle, a darkened car and a whole lot of snow. Check 'em out here.

Considering that the movie is being directed by a chap most famous for remaking The Omen, it's looks both authentic to the game and quite atmospheric.

Fan films gone wrong: Part 2 (Feature)

Feb 6, 2008

We all know that professional movies of videogames completely miss the point nine times out of ten. They're usually made by people who seemingly have no clue what makes the IP great or the faintest idea of what its fans want. But gamers haven't got that excuse, so why do our fan films so frequently incite the urge to explode oneself to death? ...

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.
