The new MAX PAYNE trailer looks nice. My only fear though is, that the movie will last five hours, because everything is in slow-motion, which makes it so much longer to tell a story...
Videogame adaption MAX PAYNE might get a PG-13 rating, making it more family friendly, than the game it's based on. According to a TotalFilm coverage, MARK WAHLBERG and the rest of the cast weren't allowed to cuss and drop die "F-Bomb". Here is a snippet:
Ludacris: "Just because it might be PG-13, doesn’t mean there won’t be action and excitement."
Wahlberg: "It’s like Sin City with a little more reality, but why swear? What are you trying to prove? Too much swearing would make it less – not more – adult. There was no need for me to drop the ‘F’-bomb, y’know? John and I just made sure that Max has an arsenal of weapons and cool dialogue – which is far more powerful than just cussing all the time. Neither of us wanted to hide behind bad language. We just wanted as many people to see it as possible."
[...] But there is gunplay, assassins, fist-fights, drugs, death, sex... In censor-board terms, there are definitely ‘adult themes’...Well, I think you can have all of that without showing too much blood,” shrugs Wahlberg. “It’s just not needed. We didn’t want to make some big gorefest."
Sounds more like SIN CITY without balls to me.
And what's up with that "we want as many people to see it as possible"-bullshit? Let them watch it, when they're old enough. I couldn't watch ROBOCOP when it came out...
Damn!
MAY PAYNE is coming to the big screen in October. MARK WAHLBERG and the beautiful MILA KUNIS will star in the movie directed by JOHN MOORE (BEHIND ENEMY LINES). The trailer already kicked ass and now two more posters were published:
In case you haven't noticed - on Octobre 17th MAX PAYNE hits the big screen. The videogame adaption starring MARK WAHLBERG, MILA KUNIS (THAT 70's SHOW), BEAU BRIDGES and rapper LUDACRIS will hopefully prove critics (and history...) wrong, that videogame adaptions always suck. At least the first official movie poster doesn't suck. That's a start...
