Former Producer Believes Hollywood Can Make Great Max Payne Film Today

Expert Verified By

Max Payne Movie Producer Ready To Help With New Film!

Story Highlight
  • The Max Payne movie was released sixteen years ago.
  • The producer recently discussed this adaptation, stating that he was disappointed in the movie because the director changed the script completely.
  • He also believes that Hollywood now has the potential to make a genuinely great adaptation after recent successes.

The Max Payne franchise is already over two decades old and remains Remedy Entertainment’s most successful one.

Although the franchise saw an adaptation from Hollywood over sixteen years ago with a Max Payne movie, this adaptation was completely different from the game and wasn’t met with great reception from fans.

However, years after its release, the Max Payne producer believes Hollywood can make a much better adaptation if given another chance.

Why it matters: Shows based on video games, such as Last of Us, Fallout, and many others, have done remarkably well recently. Similarly, various films have performed well.

The Max Payne Movie Was Nothing Like Its Games

Just recently, Scott Miller, the producer of Max Payne, took to Twitter to talk about the movie released in 2008.

He stated that he saw the movie on day one and was instantly disappointed since the story was completely changed from the one they sold to FOX. He further stated that the film’s director revised the story in a way that did not resemble the game’s narrative.

The producer wrote that he sent a mail to FOX writing about a dozen key points from the movie that they changed. He believed that the film director completely changed Max’s character, which left fans of the franchise highly disappointed.

However, he has faith that Hollywood could get a new adaptation right.

I think current Hollywood has reached a point of getting things right more often than not, so they’d likely be able to do Max Payne right if they tried again.

Max Payne Is Set To Receive Remakes Soon

Recently, the likes of Super Mario Bros and Sonic have shown how Hollywood has done justice to various gaming IPs. Therefore, Max Payne would likely do just as well if given the right treatment.

According to Scott Miller, he still has the original script and is willing to help with a new adaptation. He was also glad to see that no sequels were released for Max Payne since they would’ve been just as terrible.
