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:
“Anyone with any real blood in his or her ... veins cannot help being a fan ....Being a true American and being a fan are synonymous.”
—Lulu Glaser (1874–1958)
“The cinema is not an art which films life: the cinema is something between art and life. Unlike painting and literature, the cinema both gives to life and takes from it, and I try to render this concept in my films. Literature and painting both exist as art from the very start; the cinema doesn’t.”
—Jean-Luc Godard (b. 1930)
