Beau Bridges Joins Max Payne Movie Cast

9
The Wizard and Charlotte's Web veteran Beau Bridges (pictured left) has been cast in the upcoming game-to-film adaptation of Max Payne, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

In the film, Bridges will play B.B. Hensley, who acts as Max Payne's mentor. Max Payne will be played by Mark Wahlberg, with Mila Kunis portraying a female assassin attempting to avenge her sister's death--a character known as Mona in the two games.

No release date has been announced for the movie, which is currently shooting. It is being directed by John Moore (Behind Enemy Lines, The Omen) and was penned by freshmen writer Beau Thorne.

Despite the expected surge in the franchise's popularity, property owner Take-Two has remained mum on the possibility of another Max Payne game.

Chris Faylor was previously a games journalist creating content at Shacknews.
