Mark Wahlberg talks about Cocaine Cowboys



via comingsoon.net:
CS: I know you're producing "Cocaine Cowboys." What stage of development is that film in?

Wahlberg: We're waiting for the first draft of the script which should be in about eight weeks. I'm very excited about it.

CS: Do you have anyone attached to the film yet?

Wahlberg: Just Pete Berg to direct and produce with me.

CS: Who do you have in mind for the cast?

Wahlberg: Well there's a bunch of great, great roles so we'll have to see. I have some people in mind, but nobody set in stone.

CS: Will you be in the film as well or are just producing?

Wahlberg: No, hopefully I'll be playing Jon Roberts.

CS: What is it about "Cocaine Cowboys" that made you want to produce the film?

Wahlberg: It's just the most amazing story I've seen. The documentary was fantastic. The stuff that these guys were doing down there in Miami was just crazy. We're going to make "Scarface" times 10. I know that's a big feat, but this is the real deal.
