Mark Wahlberg has begun work on the film adaptation of the popular video game Max Payne.
I am always skeptical of video game adaptations since they usually have a ton more story than you could ever jam into one film. (the same problem you have adapting books)
Also, in many games the story is secondary (or even tertiary) the the action segments that don’t necessarily advance the story.
I HOPE they get this one right as it did lean on the story quite a bit and the action was rather complimentary to the story.
However, when there are psychedelic freak out elements (i.e. Silent Hill) That has a bad way of going into the trim bin or being grossly mishandled.
Here’s to hoping they get this right.
