Mark Wahlberg And Wife Expecting A Baby Girl

29 October 2009 11:06 PM, PDT | icelebz.com | See recent iCelebz news »

Mark Wahlberg and his wife are expecting a baby girl. The "Shooter" actor has revealed the sex of his fourth child with Rhea Durham, which is due next year.

The 38-year-old star said: "I'm having another girl. So I'll have two girls and two boys."

Mark and Rhea - who already have three children together, Ella, six, Michael, three and 13-month-old Brendan Joseph - are eagerly awaiting the latest addition to their family, but Mark is hoping it will be their last.

He explained: "I'm the youngest of nine, and my dad has a few others. No, four is enough. We were all raised with a lot of love. But we didn't get the kind of attention I think that we all needed."

"My parents had to provide to put food on the table. My mission in life is to raise my kids right. With all the success I've had in the world, »

Antoine Fuqua Set To Take ‘Prisoners’

30 September 2009 10:27 AM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »

Risky Biz Blog is reporting that Training Day director, Antoine Fuqua, is in negotiations to helm Prisoners, (no longer “The Prisoners”) a film taken from a “hot spec script” written by Aaron Guzikowski. The script was said to have created a stir when it first appeared earlier this year, with high-profile actors Christian Bale and Mark Wahlberg once attached to star, X-Men helmer Bryan Singer eyeing the director’s chair and a number of different studios looking to pick up the project.

However, soon after the producers of Prisoners sold the film to Alcon, reconfigured the project to have a lower budget (around the $30-40 million mark) and went forward without a cast for the time being, so that they could get things in motion faster. And it appears that the approach is working; the film is on the fast-track, and may go into pre-production shortly, with a “likely” January »

Warner Bros. Apprehends Prisoners

29 September 2009 10:55 PM, PDT | Atomic Popcorn | See recent Atomic Popcorn news »

Warner Bros. has set Prisoners, a film that Antoine Fuqua is in talks to direct, on a fast track. The film is now in preproduction and scheduled for release on October 22, 2010. Andrew Kosove and Broderick Johnson of Alcon Entertainment will produce the film, which is only sparsely detailed.

What we do know is that Fuqua is a talented director — the man behind Training Day. He’s also had some duds, namely Tears of the Sun and Shooter. Writer Aaron Guzikowski is new on the scene, and the project generated buzz earlier this year as Mark Wahlberg and Christian Bale were attached to star in the film — the latter with previously slotted director Bryan Singer.

Film School Rejects described the plot of the film back in April as “the story of a desperate man trying to find his kidnapped daughter, fighting resistance from law enforcement, seeking a very real revenge against his daughter’s captors. »

Antoine Fuqua Directing Aaron Guzikowski's Prisoners Spec

29 September 2009 4:37 PM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »

A big change of pace for this project. Aaron Guzikowski's Prisoners started gaining buzz back in March when Mark Wahlberg was first attached. The script has been compared to Silence of the Lambs and Se7en and was one of the hottest scripts in town over the summer. The Risky Biz Blog reports today that Prisoners eventually sold to Alcon Entertainment instead of being setup at a studio. The producers reconfigured the project without a cast or director and a lower budget (around $30 to $40 million) so it could move forward quickly. Now they've brought on Training Day, King Arthur, and Shooter director Antoine Fuqua. Fuqua, who last directed Brooklyn's Finest, is currently in negotiations to direct Prisoners. The project is being fast-tracked, with pre-production set to begin shortly for a January or February shoot. Alcon is planning to release the film through Warner Brothers next October.

Asteroids Headed to the Big Screen

2 July 2009 2:44 AM, PDT | TheMovingPicture.net | See recent TheMovingPicture news »

A big screen adaptation of the classic 80s arcade game Asteroids is in the works. According to the trades, Universal has won a four-studio bidding war to pick up the film rights to the Atari video game with Lorenzo di Bonaventura (Transformers) on board to produce. In Asteroids, initially released as an arcade game in 1979, a player controlled a triangular space ship in an asteroid field. The object was to shoot and destroy the hulking masses of rock and the occasional flying saucer while avoiding smashing into both. As opposed to today's games, there is no story line or fancy world-building mythology, so the studio would be creating a plot from scratch. Universal, however, is used to that development process, as it's in the middle of doing just that for several of the Hasbro board game properties it is translating to the big screen, such as Battleship and Candyland.

Grisham’s The Testament Getting Movie Treatment

22 June 2009 9:36 PM, PDT | TheMovingPicture.net | See recent TheMovingPicture news »

John Grisham has made a deal to bring his 1999 bestselling novel The Testament to the big screen, report the trades. Producers Mark Johnson (Shooter) and Hunt Lowry (Shorts, Donnie Darko) have teamed with 821 Entertainment Group to option the book. In the novel, a billionaire defies his greedy relatives and leaves his $11 billion fortune to a mysterious illegitimate daughter doing charity work in the Brazilian wetlands. A down-and-out lawyer helps her battle her relatives over the fortune. Producer Johnson has been trying to bring the book to the screen since it was first published. Grisham hasn’t been interested, but things changed when Johnson joined forces with Grisham's old friend Lowry, who previously produced the author’s A Time to Kill in 1996. The deal will also give Grisham the right to provide creative input, something he hasn’t always had in the past and one of the factors that has pushed »

Foreign Objects: The Sniper (Sun cheung sau)

10 June 2009 10:22 AM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »

Foreign Objects travels the world of international cinema each week in search of films worth visiting. So renew your passport, get your shots, and brush up on the local age of legal consent, this week we’re heading to… Hong Kong! There's a brilliant scene in the upcoming Kathryn Bigelow film, The Hurt Locker, that features two snipers duelling from hundreds of yards apart.  It's tense and suspenseful, but it's also intentionally slow and grueling.  You'll hear more about the scene when the film opens wide this summer, but trust me that it will instantly take a top spot in the pantheon of sniper cinema.  For reference, Mark Wahlberg's under-appreciated Shooter is in the top half of the spectrum while Tom Berenger's Sniper 3 is at the far other end. Somewhere in the middle sits the new film from director Dante Lam.  The Sniper opens with two young cops who find themselves outnumbered in a »

Kate Mara, Clark Gregg Join Iron Man 2; And is Mad Men’s John Slattery Playing Tony’s Dad?

23 April 2009 9:13 AM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »

The folks over at the Hollywood Reporter have announced this morning that Kate Mara (Shooter) and Clark Gregg have officially signed on to the production of Iron Man 2, which is currently shooting at Marvel's Manhattan Beach, California studios. They join the already solid cast of Robert Downey Jr., Mickey Rourke, Gwyneth Paltrow, Sam Rockwell, Samuel L. Jackson, Scarlett Johansson and Don Cheadle. Kate Mara's role is being kept under wraps for the time being, leading this reporter to believe that it is either (a) super insignificant or (b) a very recognizable comic book character that Jon Favreau is going to surprise us with. That is assuming that the beans don't get spilled over the course of the next year. Either way, Kate Mara just adds additional hotness to the project. Clark Gregg will reprise the role as Agent Phil Coulson of S.H.I.E.L.D that he played in the first Iron Man. In »

Iron Man 2 Update: Sequel is “Risky”, Kate Mara Joins Cast

23 April 2009 7:45 AM, PDT | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »

A pair of “Iron Man 2″ updates for ya. In an interview with Collider.com while promoting his “The Soloist” (which co-stars crude loudmouth Jamie Foxx), “Iron Man 2″ star Robert Downey Jr. chooses some strange things to say about the upcoming sequel. Besides guaranteeing a 2009 Comic Con appearance, Rdj also calls the story of the sequel “incredibly risky and artistic for a big genre movie”, which I’m not so sure about. Making a movie about two drunks in a bar talking about their ex-wives is risky; making a sequel to one of the biggest comic book movies of all time is not so much. Meanwhile, THR reports that actress Kate Mara has joined the cast of “Iron Man 2″, while actor Clark Gregg will reprise his Agent Phil Coulson of S.H.I.E.L.D. role from the first movie. No word on what role Mara (previously »

Kate Mara (Shooter) and Clark Gregg (Choke) have joined the cast of Jon Favreau’s Iron Man 2. Gregg will be reprising his role as Agent Phil Coulson of S.H.I.E.L.D., which isn’t completely unexpected. Especially considering that the sequel partly bridges into the big Marvel superhero team-up, The Avengers. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Agent Coulson [...] »

Kate Mara Joins Iron Man 2

23 April 2009 2:00 AM, PDT | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »

The ever-increasing cast of Iron Man 2 already includes Robert Downey Jr, Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle, Jon Favreau (who, of course, also directs), MIckey Rourke, Sam Rockwell, Samuel L. Jackson, Scarlett Johansson, Garry Shandling and John Slattery, but it landed two more names today, in Kate Mara and Clark Gregg.Mara, who you may remember from Brokeback Mountain (as Ledger's character's daughter) or Shooter, plays a character who's still under wraps. Looking at her, we're kinda wishing she was a little bit older and had been cast as Mary-Jane in Spider-Man, but we don't know who she's playing here.Gregg, however, returns as S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent Phil Coulson, having taken time out in between to direct Choke.Iron Man 2 is out on May 7, 2010. »

Mark Wahlberg Ready for What Sounds Like an Alt-'Max Payne'

6 March 2009 4:22 AM, PST | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »

Mark Wahlberg hit a high note with The Departed in 2006, but since then it has been Shooter, We Own the Night, The Happening and Max Payne. Not an impressive line-up if you ask me. Of course he still has the potentially good The Lovely Bones later this year directed by Peter Jackson and he is also attached to Darren Aronofsky's The Fighter, but the chances of that being Aronofsky's next feature are looking slim. So, when word comes down Wahlberg is set to star in what sounds like a second rate kidnap thriller you begin to think his best days are already behind him. The film is Prisoners and it was written by first-time scribe Aaron Guzikowski. The story centers on a Boston man who turns vigilante after his daughter and her best friend are kidnapped. No director is attached, but perhaps they can find John Moore and turn »

Wahlberg's a Prisoner

5 March 2009 7:24 PM, PST | JoBlo.com | See recent JoBlo news »

Mark Wahlberg has starred in a caper flick, he's done the whole sci-fi thing, and he's flexed his abs while wearing a pair of sexy panties for Calvin Klein. But Marky Mark seems most comfortable playing the vigilante, the guy who's been so wronged that he's gotta bust some fat skulls in order to do right. After proving his penchant for revenge in films like Shooter and Max Payne, Wahlberg plans on taking it to the next level with Prisoners, which will see the ab-tastic actor portray a Boston... »
