According to The Hollywood Reporter, Stargate star Beau Bridges has been cast in the film Max Payne that is based on the Rockstar video game with the same name.
The movie started filming March 3 in Toronto, and according to Gaming Today, will be completed May 9. It is being directed by John Moore and was written by Beau Thorne.
Gaming Today described the movie as the “story of a New York cop whose wife and baby are killed by thugs high on a designer drug called Valkyr. Devastated, the cop joins the Drug Enforcement Agency and goes undercover with the mob to find the source of the drug. Framed for the murder of his partner and hunted down by both the mob and the police, he is forced to wage a one-man war against crime.”
“Bridges will play B.B. Hensley, a former cop and mentor figure to Max Payne, who helps him track down a cunning, ruthless killer,” according to the Reporter. Mark Wahlberg is playing the title role, and “Mila Kunis will play an assassin who teams with Payne to avenge her sister’s death.”
Bridges is also continuing to play in his recurring role as Carl Hickey in My Name Is Earl, and according to the Reporter, he’s already filmed one episode and is due back this month to film another. The Reporter also mentions that Bridges had a regular role in Stargate SG-1.
