Denzel Washington In Talks To Star In New Mark Wahlberg Film ’2 Guns’

Denzel Washington, the star of Safe House, which comes out this weekend, is already in talks to take on another action drama… Mark Wahlberg’s new film, 2 Guns. The film is based on the novel by Steven Grant and will be directed by Baltasar Kormakur who just did Contraband, with Mark. Read on for some more of the details about the film..

Denzel just finished the high budget film, Flight, which is about a pilot with a dark secret who manages to land a commercial airliner and saves the passengers. This new film if he takes it, would show his darker side…undercover agent and intelligence investigate one another and plan to rip off the mob… kind of reminds me of Italian Job maybe? I think it is the perfect role for Denzel, in my opinion. I think he would do a stellar job on a new Wahlberg flick, their acting panache together would be electrifying. I loved Denzel in Man on Fire, Training Day and American Gangster, all “bad ass” characters…

We had news a few weeks ago about Mark also working on the Entourage film, but no details about this has been released as yet, and the time line has also not been revealed, so perhaps this new film, 2 Guns, will be out before any other projects he has lined up.

I would love to see Denzel and Mark together on the screen…lets hope this one eventuates.
