You may have read - heck, you may have even read it here - that Mark Wahlberg is set to star in a film based on the life of infamous 1970s drug kingpin Jon Roberts (the guy featured in the doco "Cocaine Cowboys") for director Peter Berg ("Friday Night Lights"). Well, that's still the case - only now it's taking the form of both a) a two-hander b) a "Basketball Diaries" and "Departed" reunion. Yes, Leonardo DiCapio is set to join Marky Mark in the film, says the foxy femmes of Page Six.And who is Leo to play in the film? "the airplane pilot who travels with Mark's character to obtain kilos of cocaine from Pablo Escobar."
Cool.
On a side note, Did you know that when Berg was attached - he isn't any longer -to helm the film version of the video-game "Splinter Cell" that he wanted Mark Wahlberg to play Sam Fischer? Yup, true.
Seems he's got a big man-crush on Wahlberg.
