Payne & Redemption (2012 film)[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Unreleased fanfilm of questionable notability. Only references are blogs or sites I'm not sure meet WP:RS. Previously deleted at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Max Payne: Payne & Redemption. MikeWazowski (talk) 21:30, 12 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I represent HARRY PAYNE FILMS LTD, the co-producer of "Payne & Redemption", the feature film. While it is true P&R started as a tribute to the Max Payne character the rights to that character were bought by Fox for the Mark Wahlberg film. Consequently P&R was rewritten and re-envisaged. Payne & Redemption is now a very different film, professionally funded, sourced, directed, produced, acted and directed.

The film is NOT called "Max Payne: Payne & Redemption" it is called, simply, "Payne & Redemption".

As proof of this the INTERNET MOVIE DATABASE (IMDB) has accepted Payne & Redemption as a legitimate listing not least because of its association with us, having just completed another film called THE HAUNTING OF HARRY PAYNE which, again, has no connection with the Max Payne character.

Using Google to track down 5 year old references to the original short film does no-one any favours. This is a totally new FEATURE FILM. Spielberg made a student film called THX 1138 which is a very different entity to the feature film he later made as an established director, also called THX 1138. Same difference in the case of Payne & Redemption.

To call it "a fanfilm" is derogatory and libellous and we ask you to desist in this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Foreverknight474 (talk • contribs) 17:11, 13 July 2011 (UTC) — Foreverknight474 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]

Delete - Lacks significant coverage in reliable sources to establish notability. -- Whpq (talk) 13:44, 14 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as the topic does not appear to meet the general notability guideline, especially with the sources in the article not being reliable. A search for the director's name in Google News Search for the past five years shows nothing useful. Erik (talk | contribs) 14:51, 14 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
