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:
“Already nature is serving all those uses which science slowly derives on a much higher and grander scale to him that will be served by her. When the sunshine falls on the path of the poet, he enjoys all those pure benefits and pleasures which the arts slowly and partially realize from age to age. The winds which fan his cheek waft him the sum of that profit and happiness which their lagging inventions supply.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Right now I think censorship is necessary; the things they’re doing and saying in films right now just shouldn’t be allowed. There’s no dignity anymore and I think that’s very important.”
—Mae West (1892–1980)
