Could this really be happening? Could we be looking forward to the Mark Wahlberg flick that follows up The Happening? Are we looking forward to a video game adaptation we were skeptical about ever since production started.

This new trailer brings up all those questions, because Max Payne doesn’t look half bad. The fe parts that have us worried look like the above screen-cap, which will always remind us of the promise of Schwarzenegger and Gabriel Byrne in End of Days that ended up being “that under-performing and under-written movie End of Days.”

As it stands now, Max Payne has a 45% chance of failing on an End of Days scale, a 50% chance of being tolerable and a 5% chance of being awesome.

Just the fact that we have raised our expectations based on a few posters and two trailers is staggering.

Because it’s Marky Mark and Mila Kunis in the lead roles.

Oh, well, see you in October.
