Dwayne Johnson and Mark Wahlberg to Headline HBO Athlete Dramedy Pilot

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Thu, 02 May 2013 19:05:55 +0000

After dominating the box office this past weekend with Michael Bay's 'Pain and Gain,' Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Mark Wahlberg are heading to the last place we expected to find them -- the small screen. The body-building duo will reunite for an upcoming HBO drama pilot about retired athletes in Miami, with Johnson set to star and Peter Berg attached to direct a script from 'Entourage' writer Stephen Levinson. But is there any chance HBO would pass on such a star-studded series?

'Pain and Gain' Exclusive Red-Band Clip: Meet The Rock's Beautiful Russian Girlfriend

ScreenCrush Staff — Fri, 26 Apr 2013 16:33:53 +0000

'Pain and Gain' - the new Michael Bay film starring Mark Wahlberg and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson - is insane. And we mean that in the best possible way. Don't believe us? We have a brand new exclusive 'Pain and Gain' clip that can prove it! It's NSFW and it's very funny.

'Pain and Gain' Review

Matt Singer — Thu, 25 Apr 2013 21:15:52 +0000

I watch a lot of 'Project Runway.' My wife likes it -- and, yeah, I like it too. A show dedicated to fashion design that features creative and powerful women is a weird thing to think about while watching a Michael Bay movie but that's exactly what I did during 'Pain and Gain.' Bay could learn a thing or two from that show about editing. Not in the cinematic, cutting shots together sense; that he's got. This is a different kind of editing.

It's the kind that is often called out by the 'Runway' judges when they tell the contestants (I'm paraphrasing), "This is too busy. You need to edit. That blue fuzzy hat that looks like a tribble distracts from the gorgeous, ornately sequined dress. The dress is enough. You don't need the tribble hat. Edit."

A Michael Bay movie -- particularly 'Pain & Gain' -- is a sequined dress with a blue tribble hat.

New 'Pain and Gain' Poster and Pics: Theirs Is Bigger Than Yours

Eric Walkuski — Tue, 09 Apr 2013 16:09:00 +0000

Flexing its way into theaters in a few weeks is Michael Bay's 'Pain and Gain,' an action-comedy about meatheads whose dreams are significantly bigger than their brains. A new poster for the film has appeared online accompanied by a slew of pics, and of course it's dominated by Dwayne Johnson's pecs. How could it not be?

'Pain and Gain' Red Band Trailer: Toe Loss and Trouble Awaits Mark Wahlberg and The Rock

Damon Houx — Tue, 26 Mar 2013 22:48:11 +0000

Michael Bay's 'Pain and Gain' has just released a red-band NSFW trailer, and it shows something we already knew about the film: It was going to be a bit brutal. It's been almost a year since we first saw a picture of Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson barbequing a hand, but that appears to be only one part of the demented goings on in the film, as evinced by this new trailer.

'Pain and Gain' TV Spot: Mark Wahlberg's a Pretty Bad Criminal

Damon Houx — Fri, 22 Mar 2013 23:00:30 +0000

In what amounts to the smallest film in Michael Bay's oversized career, we can't wait to see his 'Pain and Gain' for so many reasons. For one, there's Mark Wahlberg and Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson paired together, for another we're curious to see what Michael Bay will do with the source material (which, if you haven't read the article it's based on, you should). This new TV spot plays up the goofiness, which is interesting.

'Transformers 4′ Plot Details Revealed; Sounds a Lot Like All the Other Transformer Movies

Mike Sampson — Wed, 20 Mar 2013 18:52:58 +0000

'Transformers 4' - the sorta sequel/reboot to the mega-franchise - is gearing up to shoot in Michigan this spring with Mark Wahlberg and Jack Reynor filling in for Shia LaBeouf. We haven't heard much about the film's plot (aside from the aforementioned "it's a sequel but it's also totally a reboot" notes from director Michael Bay) but today we have the 'Transformers 4' plot synopsis...and it sounds like pretty much all the other 'Transformers' movies.

About That Time Mark Wahlberg Was Almost Cast in 'Star Trek'

Britt Hayes — Mon, 25 Feb 2013 21:19:30 +0000

Imagine, if you will, a world in which Mark Wahlberg played Captain James T. Kirk's father in the J.J. Abrams' 'Star Trek' reboot. As it turns out, that's something that almost actually happened, but Wahlberg had a hard time grasping the concept.

2013 Oscars: Watch Mark Wahlberg and Ted Present an Award

Mike Sampson — Mon, 25 Feb 2013 03:48:12 +0000

While Seth MacFarlane was hosting the 2013 Oscars, his cinematic alter ego Ted appeared on stage as well with co-star Mark Wahlberg to present the sound awards. Wondering how they did that? Watch Ted and Mark Wahlberg together at the 2013 Oscars to see for yourself.

'Broken City' Review

Jordan Hoffman — Fri, 18 Jan 2013 00:00:26 +0000

There are 8.2 million people living in New York City. Combine the population of Slovenia, Macedonia, Lithuania and you still aren't anywhere near what we've got. More importantly, why would you do that? New York is the capital of the world for at least a few more decades before China takes over. As such, those of us who live here can be excused for thinking that the power machinations in our city take on all the gravitas of Shakespeare or, as Chance Kelly (one of cinema's up and coming "that guy"s) in 'Broken City' calls it, an Italian opera.

Mark Wahlberg and Ted to Appear Together at 2013 Oscars

Mike Sampson — Thu, 17 Jan 2013 21:13:23 +0000

When Seth MacFarlane was announced as the host of the 2013 Oscars we wondered whether MacFarlane would bring some of his more famous characters to the big show. Well we won't have to wait until February 24 to find out. Star Mark Wahlberg confirmed that he and "Ted" will appear together on stage at the 2013 Oscars.

'Pain & Gain' Trailer: Mark Wahlberg and The Rock Want to Pump You Up

Mike Sampson — Wed, 19 Dec 2012 19:37:09 +0000

'Pain & Gain' - which stars Mark Wahlberg and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson - already feels like no other Michael Bay movie before it. Sure it's got the usual slick, lens-flared look, the girls in bikinis and dudes with guns but this movie feels more like a Coen Bros. movie on steroids. Check out the 'Pain & Gain' trailer below and you'll see what we mean.

'Broken City' Trailer: Mark Wahlberg and Russell Crowe Square Off

Eric Walkuski — Mon, 17 Dec 2012 16:25:24 +0000

It's hard to find two leading men more "Alpha Male" than Mark Wahlberg and Russell Crowe, so combing their two imposing presences in 'Broken City' should set off plenty of fireworks in the upcoming political/action thriller. The new 'Broken City' trailer has appeared online, and you can check it out after the break.

'Ted 2′ – Mark Wahlberg Says the Sequel Will Be "Sick"

Damon Houx — Sat, 15 Dec 2012 01:32:14 +0000

After this summer's surprise success of 'Ted,' it was no surprise that Universal was looking to make a sequel as quickly as possible, and if what Mark Wahlberg is saying is true, we may get it sooner than you'd think.

'Pain and Gain' Poster: Michael Bay Proves Mark Wahlberg and Dwayne Johnson Have Muscles

Fox and 'Entourage' Creators Developing Marijuana Legalization Comedy

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Tue, 20 Nov 2012 21:01:36 +0000

Well, that didn't take very long, did it? While a few weeks ago most concerned themselves with petty matters like the Presidential election, the real story came out of Colorado and Washington, where a measure passed legalizing the sale of marijuana! While perhaps symptom of a delayed reaction (hint hint), it seems Hollywood has responded in kind by developing a FOX sitcom based on the legalizing movement! From the producers of 'Entourage' no less, could 'The Happy Tree' push the movement even further?

'Transformers 4′ Searching for Hot Girls to Keep Mark Wahlberg Company

Britt Hayes — Thu, 15 Nov 2012 03:30:01 +0000

'Transformers 4' is happening and while we don't know much about the film, we do know this much: it will be directed by Michael Bay, hence it will star a hot young girl. In previous installments it was Megan Fox or Isabel Lucas or Rosie Huntington-Whiteley but with an all new cast lined up for 'Transformers 4' (headed by Mark Wahlberg), Bay is out searched for fresh blood. So what girls does he have in his sights?

First 'Transformers 4′ Details Revealed!

Jacob Hall — Sun, 11 Nov 2012 22:27:50 +0000

We don't know much about 'Transformers 4.' We know Michael Bay will be back (of course). We know that Mark Wahlberg will be replacing Shia LaBeouf as the human who gets the most lines between robot fights. We know that it'll most likely be more of the same, for better or for worse. But now we know a little more: Michael Bay spoke to TMZ about the film and revealed that part four will take place four years after the events of the last film.

Mark Wahlberg Now Confirmed For 'Transformers 4′

Damon Houx — Fri, 09 Nov 2012 01:55:45 +0000

So much of the scuttlebutt around movies is usually half-truths. Three weeks ago we reported that Mark Wahlberg might be up for 'Transformers 4.' The next day it was denied. But now it looks like Wahlberg has been confirmed for the movie by the director himself.

'Point Blank' Remake in the Works From Mark Wahlberg

Nick Romano — Fri, 02 Nov 2012 13:27:49 +0000

There's been lots of talk about Mark Wahlberg lately, what with the initial rumor that he'd be starring in 'Transformers 4' and then the follow up statement from Michael Bay himself claiming those to be false. So what is this star up to nowadays? Oh nothing, he's just working on an Americanized remake of 'Point Blank.'

Mark Wahlberg Not Joining 'Transformers 4′ After All

Mike Sampson — Wed, 24 Oct 2012 13:25:03 +0000

Yesterday, the disturbing rumor hit the web: Mark Wahlberg was in talks with director Michael Bay to star in 'Transformers 4.' But today we have an update from Bay himself who clarifies the news and explains where the confusion came from.

'Transformers 4′: Could Mark Wahlberg be Joining the Cast?

Damon Houx — Tue, 23 Oct 2012 23:06:57 +0000

Michael Bay played footsies for a while with doing more 'Transformers' movies, but has signed up for a fourth film, because... well, money. Lots and lots of it. Bay earned $80 Million from the first film (which is the lowest grossing film of the franchise), and gets 8% of the merchandising money, so it's safe to assume that he makes over $100 Million a sequel. But it looks like he's bringing in a new lead.

'Ted' Passes 'The Hangover' to Become the Biggest R-Rated Movie Ever

Eric Walkuski — Thu, 18 Oct 2012 15:30:14 +0000

Meet a most unlikely box office champion: a foul-mouthed teddy bear from Boston. ' Ted' seemed a strange proposition from the get-go, but the little guy with a big heart and extensive vocabulary (courtesy of writer-director-star Seth MacFarlane) made a hefty splash when he burst onto the scene in late-June with a $54 million opening. And now, four months later, he's the King of the R-Rated Comedies.

'Broken City' Trailer: Mark Wahlberg vs. Russell Crowe

Mike Sampson — Thu, 04 Oct 2012 18:03:02 +0000

In the 'Broken City' trailer you'll see Mark Wahlberg being the usual Mark Wahlberg ("Yauh gonna wawk away..."), Russell Crowe being the aging bad guy (when did become the actor playing the bad guy in a Mark Wahlberg action movie?) and Catherine Zeta-Jones as a slut. Can all these moving parts come together to make an effective political conspiracy action suspect thriller?

Michael Bay's 'Pain and Gain' Hits Theaters April 26, 2013, Now Has a Poster

Damon Houx — Wed, 19 Sep 2012 23:00:26 +0000

After spending the last five years making three 'Transformers' movies, Michael Bay decided to take a break and make his "Small" movie. Considering it's Michael Bay, and stars Dwayne Johnson and Mark Wahlberg, we're curious to see how small his 'Pain and Gain' is. We'll know for sure April 26, 2013, when it hits theaters.

Mark Wahlberg Teaming With Liam Neeson For 'Neuromancer?'

Sean O'Connell — Mon, 30 Jul 2012 18:42:21 +0000

They’ve each anchored their own action franchises, be it ‘Taken’ or ‘Shooter.’ But the tantalizing thought of teaming Liam Neeson with Mark Wahlberg for a long-in-development adaptation of William Gibson’s ‘Neuromancer’ has action junkies chomping at the bit … and rightfully so.

Mark Wahlberg Suiting Up For 'Armory Wars'

Jacob Hall — Sun, 15 Jul 2012 16:33:10 +0000

Mark Wahlberg and his producing partner Stephen Levinson picking up the rights to a dystopic science fiction comic book series called 'Armory Wars' is the exact kind of news you'd expect to hear in the current franchise-heavy Hollywood climate. What makes this a unique situation is that 'Armory Wars' is not just a comic: it's the backstory to a series of concept albums from the band Coheed and Cambria and it's written by the group's lead singer, Claudio Sanchez.
