<a href=MAX PAYNE" />

The first full trailer for the Mark Wahlberg starring, video game adapted MAX PAYNE has hit the internets and it looks like a terrifically dark and gritty time with lots of shooting and a healthy dose of hotties in the form of Mila Kunis and Olga Kurylenko. They also finally explain what the hell those Angel of Death things have to do with the story (they're drug-induced hallucinations of Valkyrie's as a lot of you surmised). Check it out below. Payne goes on a revenge-fueled, supernatural rampage on October 17th. Get the trailer in HD over at Yahoo.

Extra Tidbit: Wahlberg apparently thinks Payne can kick Batman's ass.

Im There...
Never played the games but this movie looks so fuckin bad ass!!! my close friend who has played both games religiously is also as excited as i am maybe even more, so obviously it can't be that bad if it satisfies the Payne fans. I have been wrong before though:/

As a huge Max Payne fan I'm pretty surprised this looks good. Don't get me wrong, the source material would lend itself to a film very easily...but with the talentless director involved I wasn't so sure (And well I'm probably still not).

But he's got the atmosphere down pat, he's the action and some of the casting works in strange ways. The weak links for me were Mila Kunis and Ludacris (rappers should not act). However, I'm pretty surprised how very Mona Sax Kunis seems to be in her brief appearances in the trailer. And Ludacris as Jim Bravura? Retarded... but for some reason seeing him in the hat and trench coat and I completely buy it now.



I still hate Marky Mark's awful voiceover. Payne didn't put on some gravelly voice for his inner monologue, it was just his voice and Walhberg could have done the same.



I also can't believe that fans of the video game actually think there are demons in the movie... Talk about missing the point.



At the very least they've got the beginning end scene right, there's clips of Max standing on the edge of the helicopter pad.

The trailer looks great with a good Manson song in the back, but the demons and angels... i don't know. I remember from the first game he was going up against a cult that claimed to have "tasted the blood of fallen angels", right? So its got the game feel, but were there actual demons and angels? I think it looks pretty cool none the less.

Looks good, but while the trailer seems to suggest some sort of explanation for the Valkyries, it seems to possibly misplace its emphasis.

I'm going to agree If the angels are real and not drug induced I will disapprove. Other than that the trailer was impressive

For my two cents...
I will throw in with everyone else who thinks that if these creatures are actually part of the physical world in this film, it will be massively hated.



His drug-fueled hallucinations, yes. That makes sense. Real things, no no no no no.



Fox needs to market this a little better so that it makes some more sense to people other than fans of the game.

Man f*ck this, happy birthday Michael Jackson. Hah, suck on THAT titty, Marky Mark. You and yo CG demonz-ah.



P.S.: same wishes to William Friedkin, Joel Schumacher (he DID make Phone Booth), and last but CERTAINLY not least, Carla Gugino (goddess in the flesh).

Man, I'm fucking speechless.

If a trailer is any indication of how great a movie is gonna be (which it usually is)... This movie is gonna fucking RULLLEEE.

Easily the BEST game-to-movie adaption ever. I so can't wait. Looks awesome.

I'm with the rest, if those monsters are the actual plot, this is going to suck balls. Otherwise, it'll be okay, I guess.

Symbolic... Please...
If the "angels" "demons" are NOT symbolic for the drug use in Max Payne, I will be very angry... If they are "real" entities that become involved somehow in the plot line or actions of people, I will not be happy.

You may not like the movie, but you have got to give that trailer some props. Freaking awesome. What is the music that is in the background? Anyone know? Sounds like Manson, but I don't know the song.

Fuck yes.

This seems like a good ride despite the fact it´s a videogame adaptation. I´m a big fan of the game and I still cannot believe they haven´t made a third for 360/PS3 and PC. Might not be a masterpiece, far from it, but it´ll be worth the price of the ticket for sure.

Trailer looks promising but it's FOX so that's out of the question.



well maybe I'll check it out just to see what else FOX did to interfere with the movie beside making it PG-13.

VERY Constantinish
It looks pretty good and Whalberg suits the role but... is it only me or some scenes, the ones with the "angel" and showing the fire and the glass explosions in the building look like an absolute rip off of some Constantine scenes?

HOLY Shit, did any other fans catch the ending to the first game in there?!
Not to give anything away, but at least we know this'll most likely end the same way the original game did. The trailer gives us glimpses of (****SPOILERS****) Max when the police/swat arrive after he's finished his rampage and killing that evil bitch at the top of the building on the helipad.

I'm really surprised how good and pulpy this looks.

Looks cool but to those who are unfamiliar with Payne they should do more to explain that it's a drug that makes people see these angels because right now it looks like Payne is some sort of Constantine-style demon hunter.
