Regular collaborators Mark Wahlberg and Peter Berg, the duo behind “Lone Survivor and the upcoming “Deepwater Horizon”, are teaming for a third film “Mile 22”.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Graham Roland’s script tells of a CIA agent (Wahlberg) stationed in Indonesia who is tasked with transporting a compromised informant from the center of the city to an awaiting getaway plane at an airport 22 miles away. While en route, they must battle corrupt police, criminal overlords and heavily armed locals, all hell-bent on taking them out before they reach their plane.
Ronda Rousey (“Entourage”) and Iko Uwais (“The Raid 2”) are also aboard.
STX Entertainment, the newly launched film and TV studio, are producing the film alongside Berg, Wahlberg and Stephen Levinson.
“I have had a working relationship with Adam Fogelson that dates back longer than almost any other relationship I have in this town,” said Berg. “I consider him a genuine talent with a strong understanding of the business. He’s not only a trusted creative collaborator, but a true friend. Mark Wahlberg and I are thrilled to have this project with Adam and the team at STX, and we are excited to be working with Iko Uwais and Ronda Rousey to create a fresh and daring new take on the action genre.”
Berg and Wahlberg are also developing a feature film take on TV’s “Six-Million Dollar Man”.
