The creator of The Shield TV show will work on the big-screen adaptation of Max Payne.

According to Reuters, Shawn Ryan--the creator of the FX TV show The Shield --has entered into an agreement that will allow him to adapt Max Payne into a feature film. "Max Payne is an incredible character with a rabid fan base," Ryan said. "As a writer and a gamer, I was ecstatic when [Dimension chief] Bob Weinstein offered me the opportunity to pen this potential franchise."

In Max Payne, players assume the role of an undercover DEA agent who has been framed for the brutal murder of his wife and child. Max Payne features a "bullet time" gameplay mechanic that allows players to slow the game down in order to take precise shots at the enemies onscreen. For more information, take a look at our full reviews of the PlayStation 2 and Xbox versions of the game.

I think this and MGS + Next RE movies are going to be great movie versions of video games. All 3 have perfect plots for movies. Max Payne- revenge for killing his family/drug bust. MGS- A top secret military nuclear robot has been found out by terrorists and Solid Snake must stop them before it is to late at Shadow Mosses. RE- A deadly desease (t-virus) is being spread turning dead people into Zombies. A group of people are sent in to take care of the problem before it spreads to far.

All 3 are going to be great IMO unless they mess with the story lines.

That\'s more than likely gonna happen.:(

But your right, they all have great potential for movies. It\'s just that certain directors (damn Paul Anderson) have different "views" on what should be in the film. And almost always that\'s a different view than us gamers.
