TFC Morning Report – Friday, March 6, 2009 – Mark Wahlberg attached to ‘Prisoners’
Top Story: Mark Wahlberg is attached to what is being called the hottest script in Hollywood. Written by Aaron Guzikowski, Prisoners follows the father of a kidnapped girl who kidnaps the man he suspects of snatching his daughter. Wahlberg is the family-man/vigilante, but I imagine he’ll be a little rougher around the edges than Liam Neeson in the similarly-themed Taken. (HR)
