Dirk Diggler is a major PAYNE... kinda like Damon Wayans!
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. I know. Lame headline. Gimme a break. I'm tired and the only thing I could think of was a reference to a mediocre '90s comedy that still somehow holds a small place in my heart.
The news is that Mark Wahlberg is in talks to star in the MAX PAYNE video game adaptation Fox is gearing up for. I've never played it, but I've heard good things. Makes me wish I had a Gamefly account for stuff like this. I'm too lazy to hit the video store now... hell, I don't know if I even still have a membership...
Anyway, John Moore (THE OMEN remake) is directing the actioneer. What's the consensus from you folks? Fans of the game... bad casting? Good casting! Inquiring minds want to know!
