With the movie finally coming out tomorrow, we're getting bombarded with advertising. I was at a restaurant earlier today and it seemed that every other ad on the TV was for Max Payne.
So who's excited? Anybody going to a midnight showing?

Max Payne to be Rated R after all?
So apparently, even though Max Payne director John Moore went out of his way to take out excessive gore and language to get a coveted PG-13 rating in his latest movie, it was all for naught.
According to Kotaku, John Moore thinks that it's completely bogus that his movie got an R rating, while The Dark Knight received a PG-13.
You can read the article and see how mad he gets here.

New Max Payne Trailer!
Check it out!
Click that^ link to see the new and improved trailer, which is longer and shows a lot more footage from the film.
A lot more character dialogue can be found in this trailer, as well as a lot more footage of what appears to be drug-induced trips.
Looks sweet if you ask me.

The First Great Videogame Movie?
We all know that video game movies, in general, suck major balls.
Max Payne so far though, appears to not suck.
Read an article from Totalfilm.com on how and why this new movie will in all likelihood be the first movie that has successfully transferred from video game to film.

Videogame movies are blessed/cursed with a pre-built but purist fanbase. So far, the blog bitching has targeted Max Payne’s director, Irishman John Moore, who made 2006’s limp redux of The Omen. But from what Total Film has seen, it’s the action-angst cocktail of Moore’s 2001 Bosnia war-thriller Behind Enemy Lines that makes him a tight fit for Payne. If he can mesh his lust for Tony Scott-style pyrotechnics with the game’s Matrix-apeing bullet-time balletics and get Wahlberg playing to his strengths – taking Payne deeper than just feral vigilante – Moore just might have the first videogame-based commercial-critical hit on his hands.
