Max Payne

Mark Wahlberg

USA Today released the first shot from the upcoming "Max Payne" adaptation, which stars Mark Wahlberg in the title role as DEA agent who teams with an assassin (Mila Kunis) to solve a string of murders.

Talking to the paper, Wahlberg conceded that he was not a "Payne" gamer but said that one of his assistants "plays it all the time, and I probably watched him play more than I should. It's got a story line more complex than most video-game movies."

Kunis added that it's daunting to try to please video-game fans. "I made the mistake of stumbling on an Internet site of fans and what they thought of the casting," she says. "I hope I don't cross them on the street before the movie. Maybe they'll change their minds when I'm in leather pants and bustier."

The new film is directed by John Moore (Behind Enemy Lines) and is scheduled to hit theaters on October 17th.
