Before seeing the the trailer for Max Payne, I was unsure how I felt about Mark Wahlberg in the lead role. I mean, that's one dark dude in the video game. I could more easily see a ragged leading man like a Clive Owen over a guy who carries a 4% body fat like Wahlberg. But he impressed in the trailer, and the movie looks like it's taking the most cinematic aspects of the game and leaving most of the other elements - the very drawn-out journey of the character - on the cutting room floor.

Here’s Screen Rant’s live coverage of Lionsgate’s panel for “The Spirit.” It will be starting in about 10 minutes and I’ll be live-blogging it. It’ll be interesting to see if they have any new footage that will look better than the awful trailer that was released a while ago.
This will be the last “live coverage” item that I’ll be doing today but there will be further Comic-Con updates later on today. I apologize in advance if I make any errors so feel free to make corrections in the comments and I’ll update the post accordingly.

Writer/Director Frank Miller and producer Deborah Del Prete were introduced. Frank
