Touchdown for Marky Mark
Mark Wahlberg portrays true-life hero Vince Papale in his latest rags-to-riches movie.
Apr 13 2005
Mark Wahlberg has been hotly tipped to play underdog hero Vince Papale in 'Invincible', a film that is sure to be a crowd pleaser with fans of American football.
In this true-life rags-to-riches tale, Wahlberg plays bartender Papale, who enters a Philadelphia Eagles gridiron tryout and gains a place on the team.
Walt Disney Pictures is in talks with 'Marky Mark' after signing up 'Daredevil' cinematographer Ericson Core as director.
Shooting for the provisionally titled 'Invincible' starts this summer and will be based on a script by Brad Gann and Mike Rich.
2005 has been a busy year for Wahlberg; he's just completed John Singleton's 'Four Brothers' and is soon to start filming Martin Scorsese's 'The Departed' with Leonardo DiCaprio.
'Invincible' will be a return to form for Mark Wahlberg, whose previous chest-baring heroes in 'Boogie Nights' and 'Rock Star' have been winners with his fans.
And do we sense an opportunity to show off a naked Wahlberg in the locker room? Of course we do - cinemas would be wise to include a bucket of cold water for his female admirers.
