We're going to be honest and admit that we still don't get the Max Payne movie project. It's been five years since the last game in the series, and the brand power in the mass market has to be hovering around nil. We weren't even sure we believed it last month when we heard that filming was to start this month. That was, until we received this pic of Mark Wahlberg on the set of the film.To us he looks ... well, like Mark Wahlberg in a dark jacket. But since Max's face has looked completely different in both of his games, we don't know exactly what we expected. But if you're in the Toronto area, you may be able to help us get a better idea of how things are coming along. One of our readers sent in a list of shooting locales and times where you might be able to catch a glimpse, we've put it right after the jump. You know where to send it if you find anything juicy.

Any recommend Dreamcast games?
is the Dreamcast hackable? can a ripped game be downloaded to a CD-R?
i just uncovered my working dreamcast that went in the closet 9 years ago now.......wow it's been that long?!
anyway. thanks to anyone who replies.
Don't care to much for Payne. some games should stay games. Silent Hill....Tomb raider...Resident Evil are the exception.

That said, yeah, Dreamcast games can be burned to CD-Rs no problem. No mod chip or anything like that necessary. Sega didn't bother implementing any significant copy protection for whatever reason.
I personally didnt care much for the film adaptation for RE. But the box office numbers dont lie. it was a blockbuster. I saw the end of part one. the middle of part two. and the entire third one. I LOVE RESIDENT EVIL. I Got a GAMECUBE just to play 0 and 1 (again).

Glad to see productions still coming to Hollywood North, despite their dollar being so crappy. Guess I'll take a walk out at lunch and see if I can spot me some Mila Kunis...

Many people will not think of it as a game adaptation and will just think of it as a story about a cop getting revenge and killing a lot of criminals. On top of that will be those of us who knew the game & will file in to see it as well.

he was good in the Corrupted and The Departed (though that film was a hugely poor imitation of the original)
Infact, since he was Chow Yun Fat's co-star in CYF's first Hollywood movie, and Max Pain is obviously hugely inspired by CYF movies... it kinda makes sense...

Having the same voice would really help, and if you've ever watched Rescue Me, you'll know that he looks the part a LOT more than Wahlberg.

Wish I had the time to commute down to see them.

Mark W is a decent enough actor and reckon could do a good job with the role.

So even if the big money guys make a crappy movie there will be better one coming.
Still waiting for the film adaptation of Centipede

The night before, on the 25th storey roof of my building, I had a perfectly clear view of police and camera helicopters hovering next door, shining their lights in the windows for a scene. :)
