The trade says Bridges will be playing the character of B.B Hensley, a mentor to young Payne (Mark Wahlberg). Director John Moore is in charge of lensing, based on a screenplay by Beau Thorne. Also cast is Mila Kunis as an assassin. Principal photography began March 3 in Toronto.

Plot Concept:
Based on the video game "Max Payne" by Remedy. The story of a New York cop whose wife and baby are killed by thugs high on a designer drug called Valkyr. Devastated, the cop joins the Drug Enforcement Agency and goes undercover with the mob to find the source of the drug. Framed for the murder of his partner and hunted down by both the mob and the police, he is forced to wage a one-man war against crime. Wahlberg will play the titular cop. Mila Kunis will play an assassin who teams with Payne to avenge her sister's death.

Max Payne will hit theaters Oct. 17, 2008.

I did not realize Marky Mark was the main on this one. That's cool. The Big Hit was great. Have to get the DVD on that. However I am thinking more about Blu-ray. Tax rebate=PS3

Meg Griffin as an assasin, neat....although, now eveytime I hear her voice, I picture a dorky girl in a pink hat.....I like John Moore's movies, but he is a little hit or miss. Behind Enemy Lines was an amazing action movie, but he just hasn't been able to make another like it. I hope this is Behind Enemy Lineish. Are they going to use the bullet time from the game now that bullet time is kind of played out?

They gotta show Payne taking some drugs in the middle of a gun fight and then start tripping out seeing everything in slowwwww motion, thus he's able to kill everyone.


Bring on the God of War!!!!! Ghost of Spartaaaaaaaa!!

Mark is ideal for the role of Max. Great Likeness. and Simply put Mila Kunis is HOT as hell and id love to see her as a assasin and kick some butt. Will make her even hotter.

Yeah, a great likeness but his voice is borderline Michael Jackson! Marky Mark is code for Mickey Mouse!
