Mark Wahlberg, a Dorchester native who has gone on to star in a slew of
big-budget Hollywood flicks including the recent “Max Payne,” may return
to his Boston roots with previously unknown Aaron Guzikowski’s greenlit
script “Prisoners.”
The project, generating major buzz on the Left Coast that has piqued the
interest of nearly every major studio in town according to the Hollywood
Reporter, centers around a Boston father whose 6-year-old daughter and
her best friend are kidnapped. The film’s protagonist, a role reportedly
being eyed by Wahlberg, takes matters into his own hands by kidnapping
the man he suspects is responsible.
Endeavor, who represents Wahlberg, snapped up the script a few weeks
ago. Insiders say the tone of the revenge-fantasy flick is a cross between
“Silence of the Lambs” and “Seven.”
Wahlberg, who plays an equally distressed father in Peter Jackson’s
upcoming “Lovely Bones,” was planning to make a homecoming with the
on-and-off again Darren Aronofsky flick chronicling the early days of boxer
“Irish” Micky Ward called “The Fighter.”
Will Wahlberg take "Prisoners" instead of jumping into the ring with "The
Fighter" for his Boston return?
