    Did even bother to click. This image of Wahlberg was more torture than I could bear, why go further?

    Agreed. Primary reason for not viewing the trailer.

    Oh come on, Cap. I don't know the games really, but it was actually a pretty intriguing trailer...

    Looks okay thus far.

    It won't beat the game, not a chance, and it won't be as good as the game ... but will it be as good as Silent Hill's movie? Now, that, I think, is the best videogame movie out there personally.

    I think a Max Payne movie could work, it looks fairly faithful - although the angel thing is a bit "eh?", but I'll see how it is in context, no doubt it's a dream sequence or a trip or something - so I'll see.

    It'd better be rated R though, it's such a dark game, and violent.

    Max Payne 1 and 2 are AWESOME. I'd love a third - and oh yes - GIVE ME ALAN WAKE ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Agreed, Silent Hill is amazing....

    Love the atmosphere in MP1...just amazing, so dark...proper film noir...the guy's voice is evil!!!

    Also of interest - Rockstar can't make a movie called "Grand Theft Auto" anyway, because of the actual movie with Ron Howard (that film, and the R* franchise have nout to do with each other by the way).

    So likewise, if Ron Howard wanted a Grand Theft Auto videogame, he'd have to call it something else.

    A GTA movie wouldn't work anyway, it'd just be a movie, the point in GTA is that it's different from other games - that's the key - as well as being good of course.

    I understand what you're saying about GTA probably not working as a film....but what about Ron Howard's film?

    Films can have the same name. There's a film called "The Dark Knight" that was released in the 90's. There's another film called "Day of the Dead" from the 50's. It happens all the time...

    Yeah I know, but I heard recently about a specific issue with the title "Grand Theft Auto", specifically, and it was as I previously said.

    Weird, but apparently true.
