Beau Bridges Joins Max Payne

BeauIt has been announced that Beau Bridges will be joining Mark Wahlberg in Max Payne; we get news of this team from the far off caves of yahoo:

Beau Bridges has joined the cast of the dramatic thriller “Max Payne,” based on the hit Rockstar video game. Mark Wahlberg plays the title character, a maverick cop determined to track down those responsible for the murder of his partner and family.

Bridges plays B.B. Hensley, a former cop and mentor figure to Payne, who helps him track down a cunning, ruthless killer.

Beau Bridges has a mentor quality about him, and I think he is a great cast for this type of role. Films adapted from video games have a horrible track record, but surely one day the trend will be broken and a victor will emerge. Is this the film to do it? I don’t know. I will say that with Beau and Mark on board, the cast is shaping up better than most and if any film has a shot of bucking the norm – this may be it.

Max Payne was an enjoyable game and it would be cool to see a decent film adaptation.
