Mark Wahlberg Fan http://www.markwahlbergfan.org Sun, 07 Feb 2010 20:31:04 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 en hourly 1 Paramount, Wahlberg eyeing “Four Brothers” sequel http://www.markwahlbergfan.org/2010/02/07/paramount-wahlberg-eyeing-four-brothers-sequel/ http://www.markwahlbergfan.org/2010/02/07/paramount-wahlberg-eyeing-four-brothers-sequel/#comments Sun, 07 Feb 2010 20:31:04 +0000 admin http://www.markwahlbergfan.org/?p=218 Mark Wahlberg, the star of “Four Brothers,” hatched the sequel idea with that film’s writers, David Elliot and Paul Lovett.

The original movie, directed by John Singleton, revolved around four adopted brothers (Wahlberg, Tyrese Gibson, Andre Benjamin and Garret Hedlund) who come together to avenge their mother’s death in what at first appears to be a random robbery. Although not a massive hit, it still grossed a tidy $74 million at the domestic box office.

Plot details are being kept under wraps, and it is not clear which of the other actors, if any, would return. Hedlund would appear to be out, as his character was killed in the first movie. Wahlberg stars in Peter Jackson’s “The Lovely Bones,” which opens nationally on Friday, and appears in the upcoming “Date Night” with Steve Carell and Tina Fey.

“Yeah, I’m the youngest of nine. So, the more the merrier,” he says, “but my wife has always wanted four — two boys and two girls, so miraculously she got everything she wanted.”

Asks Ellen: “And, is she saying she’s done? You want more?”



Mark: “She’s saying she’s done but she did start hinting to the fact that this would be the last time that we’re in the hospital and she loves being a mother. So she may end up wanting one more. We’ll see what happens.”

He continued: “She likes hanging out at the hospital. It was the first time we had a couple of days of peace and quiet even though she had to go through the pain of giving birth. She actually liked the fact that we were in a hotel room, alone. Well, it’s kind of like a hotel room, the hospital room. She had a TV. I could watch my TV at the same time. She didn’t really want to go home.”

To which Ellen replied, “Mark, you’re making good money. Take her on a vacation.”

The original film, directed by Óskar Jónasson, was released in 2008. Baltasar Kormakur, who produced and starred in the original, is attached to direct the English-language remake. And Aaron Guzikowski, who wrote the spec script Prisoners, is writing the new remake script. The plot centers on a security guard and former alcohol smuggler on the Iceland-Netherlands route who is tempted back into illicit business by a dubious friend after encountering financial problems.

The original Reykjavik-Rotterdam is Iceland’s submission for this year’s Foreign Language Oscar race and won five of that country’s film awards previously. The English version likely will be relocated to other places rather than Reykjavik, which is the capitol if Iceland, and Rotterdam, a port city on the edge of Holland. Baltasar Kormakur also has another thriller called Jar City that is already being remade over at Overture. At one point Wahlberg was attached to Guzikowski’s script Prisoners, but that project recently dropped all of its actors. We’ll keep you updated on the status of this Reykjavik-Rotterdam remake as any news comes in.

Filming for the movie “The Other Guys” is expected to generate an economic spinoff of $1.4 million, according to the Albany Convention and Visitors Bureau.

The stars of the movie, Will Ferrell, Mark Wahlberg and Eva Mendes, won’t be in town for the shoot. The film is an action comedy about two New York City Police detectives who try to fill the shoes of their “super-cop” predecessors.

The crew will be filming car chases, car crashes, simulated gunfire, helicopter aerobatics and other stunts. The filming wraps up Oct. 4.

Columbia Pictures personnel are working with Albany city officials and the state Department of Transportation to minimize the impact on weekday traffic. Filming won’t be done on Tuesdays while the state Legislature is in session.

A Columbia Pictures crew was in Albany in May to film stunt scenes for “Salt,” a moving starring Angelina Jolie.

Fresh on the heels of their Aug. 1 wedding, Durham was spotted on Sunday at The Grove in Los Angeles sporting quite the baby bump. Though no official announcement has been made, a source says the couple are expecting their fourth child.

Already parents to Ella Rae, who is about to turn 6, Michael, 3, and Brendan Joseph, 11 months, the couple have made no secret of their desire for a big family.

Last summer, Wahlberg – 38-year-old executive producer of HBO’s Entourage – joked that “when the kids are good, we want eight or nine.” He went on to call life in a full house “hectic … but a lot of fun.”

The actor’s rep did not respond to requests for comment.

Next up for Wahlberg is the Peter Jackson-directed feature film The Lovely Bones opposite Rachel Weisz, in theaters on Dec. 11.

On Saturday, he took wife Rhea Durham and kids Ella Rae, who turns six on September 2, Michael, 2, and Brandon, 11 months to American Girl Place in L.A.’s The Grove shopping center.

The family was there for an early birthday party for Ella Rae who came away with a new doll and other goodies.

Mark Wahlberg looked to be in amazing shape as he danced around the ring and exchanged blows with the actor playing Sanchez, real life boxer Miguel Espino. Wahlberg received some movie boxing advice from director David O. Russell when his punches started getting too strong and later was dressed with makeup to make it look like he had received a beating. The fight being recreated had Wahlberg’s Ward getting beat to a bloody pulp before taking control in the 7th round with his signature devastating body blow, knocking Sanchez out cold. It was a major comeback for Ward after 3 years out of the ring working construction and manual labor.
