It seems like hardly a week has gone by in 2005 without a movie studio scooping up the rights to a video game.
This week, it was Max Payne's turn. The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that 20th Century Fox is bankrolling a film version of the gritty third-person shooter from Rockstar Games and Finnish developer Remedy. The studio has inked a deal with the production companies Collision Entertainment and Firm Films to produce the Payne adaptation, which had been previously linked to Dimension Films. Scott Faye (the upcoming The Reaper) and Julie Yorn (Formula 51) will produce the project, which currently has no cast, director, or release date.
Easily one of the most cinematic games of the last few years, Max Payne profiles the titular antihero, a modern-day New York undercover cop whose wife and baby daughter are brutally murdered. If that wasn't bad enough, Payne is also framed for a fellow cop's murder and becomes the subject of a massive manhunt by the police, the Mob, and a shadowy criminal organization. Besides sporting John Woo-style action and Matrix-esque bullet-time effects, the game also borrowed heavily from graphic novels, even using comic book-style storyboards in lieu of cutscenes.
Immersion only goes so far when a game prompts users to insert another disc. The upcoming Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, once rumored to be featured on up to nine discs, will come on one standard Xbox 360 disc. The clarification was made by an employee of the game's developer, Bethesda Softworks, on the game's official forum. The Xbox 360 uses the current-generation DVD-9 as media, which can hold around 9GB of data. Microsoft recently announced that it will release a next-generation HD-DVD peripheral, but only for video playback
