We have some new images for 20th Century Fox's "Max Payne" starring Mark Wahlberg, Mila Kunis, Beau Bridges, Ludacris, Donal Logue, Chris O'Donnell, Joel Gordon, Kate Burton, Rico Simonini.
Wahlberg returns to the big screen after M. Night Shyamalan's "The Happening" didn't quite live up to its title. This one, is a whole new breed and Wahlberg looks set to bring in some decent numbers for the studio.
Newbie writer Beau Thorne makes his writing debut based on the Rockstar video game of the same title by Remedy Entertainment and 3-D Realms Entertainment, "Max Payne." At the helm is John Moore, last directing the 2006 remake of "The Omen." Moore has a good history with Fox with "Omen," "Behind Enemy Lines" and "Flight of the Phoenix" all with the studio.

What's this about?
Max Payne is a maverick cop - a mythic anti-hero - determined to track down those responsible for the brutal murders of his family and partner. Hell-bent on revenge, his obsessive investigation takes him on a nightmare journey into a dark underworld. As the mystery deepens, Max is forced to battle enemies beyond the natural world and face an unthinkable betrayal.
OscarĀ® nominee Mark Wahlberg (The Departed) stars as Max Payne, a man who has little regard for rules - and nothing to lose - as he investigates a series of mysterious murders that could be tied to the death of his wife and child. But there are massive forces, both real and beyond imagination, that are conspiring to keep the devastating truth hidden - and Max forever silenced.
Joining Wahlberg in MAX PAYNE are Mila Kunis as Mona Sax, a beautiful Russian mobster and assassin; Olga Kurylenko (who stars in the upcoming James Bond film Quantum of Solace) as Natasha, Mona's thrill-seeking younger sister; Chris "Ludacris" Bridges as Internal Affairs Detective Jim Bravura; and Beau Bridges as Max's mentor, B.B.
MAX PAYNE is directed by John Moore (The Omen, Behind Enemy Lines) from a screenplay by Beau Thorne, a recent graduate of the University of Texas film program. The film is produced by Julie Yorn (Bride Wars), Scott Faye and John Moore.
