Mark Wahlberg to
Produce Boston Marathon Bombing Film ‘Patriots’ Day’
by Kipp Jones1 Apr 2015Boston, MA
Mark Wahlberg is on
his way back to Boston to pursue a leading
role in an upcoming CBS Films project about
the events surrounding the five-day manhunt for Dzhokhar
Tsarnaev, an alleged co-conspirator in the 2013
Boston Marathon bombings.
Wahlberg, a Massachusetts native, has already been
announced as a producer of the project, titled Patriots’ Day, and Deadline
reports the actor hopes to play the role of Boston Police Commissioner Ed Davis.
Commissioner Davis was present at the marathon finish line,
but walked away to answer his phone just moments before the April 15, 2013
explosion that left three people dead and an additional 264 wounded.
Per Deadline, Patriots’ Day will follow
Davis’s account of the events, as he immediately played a major role in
collaborating with the FBI, the Watertown Police, the Boston Police Department, and
the Massachusetts State Police — along with first responders — to
identify and hunt down the two terrorists.
After an unprecedented manhunt,
which included an order to put the city of Boston on lockdown, the
commissioner’s efforts helped authorities catch up to Dzhokhar and his older brother
Tamerlan, who was killed after a skirmish with police.
CBS has acquired Davis’s life rights and will be using a
2013 60 Minutes segment following the ordeal as a project compass.
Michael Radutzky, who acts as senior producer and head of the creative
development unit for 60 Minutes, will also co-produce the project.
Deadline also reports Patriots’ Day will
compete with 20th
Century Fox’s upcoming project,
titled Boston Strong,
which also covers the events surrounding the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing.
