1. Trailer: Mark Wahlberg as ‘Max Payne’

    John Woo’s shoot-first-and-ask-questions-never “bullet ballet,” Hard Boiled (1992) begat many a trigger-happy copycat picture, and was an obvious creative catalyst to videogame shooter Max Payne in 2001. Payne in turn inspired so many bullet-timed, limitless ammunition games that John Woo had to answer with a game of his own, entitled Stranglehold, in 2007. Knowing now that director John Moore (Behind Enemy Lines) is rolling out a Max Payne feature (Mark Wahlberg, costarring Mila Kunis, Beau Bridges, and Ludacris) this October - what’s your next move, Mr. Woo?
