oOMax Payne: The MovieOo

I have been waiting for max payne to come along as a film since the day that i bought the game and claimed a film soon after would follow. although the thought of a release is good, i don’t like the director all that much, who has done only one decent movie called ‘Behind enemy lines’ as well as some awful ones that i don’t care to mention.

i hope they stick to the graphic novel approach that gave a life to the story, but couldn’t save all of the gameplay (the bullet time was nutts). i hope there were some rights to get the bullet time methods and technology usable in the picture, otherwise it completely defeats the purpose of making the picture.

Bullet time is the signature style in the game that made the game play attractive. another thing is that they got mark wahlberg to do max payne, which shocked my system to the accord, that they did a wolverine cast.
A “wolverine cast” is when they cast someone who just doesn’t seem to be in the same size exchange as the actual character in the previous medium.

wolverine is small and hugh jackman was really tall in comparison, that threw the nature of the character off.

hence, you have the wolverine cast. bram stoker’s dracula did the same thing with the main character, pitting him in a very regal sort of attire and a kind of king’s crown situation, that screamed “different”. dracula is always the same that i have seen and remembered him to be, from bella legosi to the typical rendition seen in monster squad from the 80’s.

mark wahlberg is small and max payne has a taller likeness. but there are so few that could play him. i think about how i would wolverine cast someone, because it makes me think as someone that aspires to do film in the future, to look at the style that i want to create and manage to build a viable career in film.

i think that wolverine casting, which is an old, old thing that has been taken advantage of in film, opens my eyes to something more creative. I just hope they get this flick right, because i have been waiting for a long time for this film.
