2 Comments

Actor Mark Wahlberg and NBA superstar LeBron James are working on a movie together, or at least thinking about doing that. Wahlberg confirmed this during an appearance on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon last night (via EW).

After Fallon asked Wahlberg to explain the picture of him and James working out in the actor's personal gym, Wahlberg came out and said it: "He and I are talking about doing a movie together. It's actually a great idea."

Pressed by Fallon for more information, Wahlberg said the unannounced film is "based around the fantasy league so these guys get to go to one of these fantasy camps, and me and LeBron have a situation." He didn't share any further details.

Hollywood projects have a tendency of being slow-to-develop in some cases, so you may not want to get too excited just yet if the idea of a Wahlberg-LeBron movie sounds good to you.

James is no stranger to the big-screen, having appeared in the 2015 Judd Apatow comedy Trainwreck. Looking ahead, he will star in the new Space Jam sequel.

As for Wahlberg, the Oscar-nominated actor's next film is Deepwater Horizon, which comes out on September 30. It's a re-telling of the deadly 2010 BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
