Ever since Mark Wahlberg's Oscar nomination he has been lining up roles with gifted directors like M. Nigh Shhymalan, Darren Aronofsky, and Peter Jackson, so I guess it is okay if he seems to be taking one role just for a pay check. Wahlberg will star as the title character in the adaptation of Rockstar's video game Max Payne. John Moore (Behind Enemy Lines) will direct the film, which will tell the story of a cop, haunted by the tragic loss of his family, who has little regard for rules as he investigates a series of mysterious murders and battles an adversary trying to destroy him. Beau Thorne wrote the script.
