Mila Kunis is set to play ‘Mona Sax’ in the upcoming movie ‘Max Payne’ across from Mark Wahlberg. The movie which comes out on October 17th, 2008 is based on the video game that came out a few years ago.

Mila’s character Mona Sax is an assassin who is seeking revenge for the murder of her sister.

It’s been recently reported that Max Payne producer Scott Faye has been working on popular 90’s game ‘Duke Nukem’.

“I’m working diligently at making a Duke Nukem movie scenario that will live up to the character and its import in the video game world,” said Faye. “As is the case with all of my game adaptations, I’d rather not make the movie than make a poor adaptation.”

Faye claims that he’s not going to pitch the project to the studios until he feels confident that the preliminary work is to his satisfaction.

John Moore, the director of Max Payne, has had his hands full with the MPAA over the R rating and hasn’t been too happy with the way the proceedings have happened so far. During an interview with Das Gamer, Moore talked about the MPAA and how they change the rules as they please.

“The MPAA will never publish the rules. They’ll never tell a director, ‘Here’s what’s going to get you an R, here’s what’s going to get you a PG-13.’ People might think that’s impossible, but let me tell you, if I’m making a TV beer commercial, I know exactly what the rules are. The MPAA changes their rules willy-nilly and it depends on who’s seeing your actual movie at the time. It’s very difficult to get a hold on what’s acceptable. The only thing you can use is current standards. So I go and see The Dark Knight and I say, ‘Gee, that’s pretty gnarly for PG-13,’ but I felt good about Max Payne after coming out of the theater. I thought Max wasn’t going to have a problem. And that’s not the case. They’re coming down on us pretty hard.”

“They said to me, the movie feels R. And I said, ‘What the fu** is that, a group therapy session?’ You can’t do that. They’re meant to judge content, not intent. They said the movie felt dark.”
