Fan Films
Fan-made short films include Max Payne: Hero (Chris Chen, 2003) and Max Payne: The Beginning of the End (Zapruder Pictures Production, 2006).
There is an independent movie project Payne and Redemption which has been in production for years and currently continues. On April 2008, 20th Century Fox sent a letter to writer and director Fergle Gibson, asking for the immediate "cease and desist" of his work. Due to the possibility of having the film studio begin legal actions against him for the non consented use of the brand Max Payne, he decided to take out the name of the character from the title and movie plot.
Another new fan short film Max Payne: Valhalla was released in May 2012. This project was financed by crowdfunding.

Famous quotes containing the words fan and/or films:
“Hard times accounted in large part for the fact that the exposition was a financial disappointment in its first year, but Sally Rand and her fan dancers accomplished what applied science had failed to do, and the exposition closed in 1934 with a net profit, which was donated to participating cultural institutions, excluding Sally Rand.”
—For the State of Illinois, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“Science fiction films are not about science. They are about disaster, which is one of the oldest subjects of art.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
