Edward James Olmos Has 2 Guns

June 21, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Edward James Olmos has joined Baltasar Kormákur’s upcoming crime drama, 2 Guns, joining the already cast Mark Whalberg, Denzel Washington, Paula Patton and Bill Paxton. Olmos is set to play Papi Greco, a dangerous Mexican drug lord.

Based on a graphic novel, the film follows a Navy SEAL (Mark Wahlberg) and a DEA agent (Denzel Washington) who unknowingly work together during an undercover mission and end up getting set up by the mob to steal millions from the CIA. Bill Paxton is playing a high-ranking member of the CIA with Paula Patton portraying Denzel Washington’s love interest.

The film is set to shoot later this summer. (Source: Variety)

Bill Paxton May Take On 2 Guns Opposite Wahlberg & Washington

June 14, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

For a while now, Mark Wahlberg and Denzel Washington have been attached to 2 Guns for Contraband director Baltasar Kormákur. Now they may have some company, as Variety reports that Billl Paxton is in talks for the film.

Based on the comics by Steven Grant, 2 Guns follows a DEA agent and a Naval Intelligence officer (Wahlberg and Washington) who unknowingly go undercover to investigate each other. The pair find themselves involved with a heist and are told they are stealing from the mob, but the truth is that they have actually stolen from the CIA. Paula Patton will play the project’s female lead. If Paxton signs on, he’ll play a “high ranking CIA operative,” who probably isn’t very happy about the actions of Wahlberg and Washington.

Paxton’s a bit of a late addition, as the movie started filming this week and hit cinemas next year.

Paula Patton Joins Washington & Wahlberg in 2 Guns

April 10, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol star Paula Patton is one of those actresses who constantly seems to flit around the edge of major recognition, but never quite gets it. Now she’s adding another decent role to her belt, as Deadline reports she’s in talks to take the female lead in 2 Guns, opposite Mark Wahlberg and Denzel Washington.

The film will be directed by Baltasar Kormákur, who last worked with Mark Wahlberg on the action thriller Contraband, and is based on the Steven Grant graphic novel of the same name. Paula Patton will play the love interest of Denzel Washington’s character in this story of a DEA Agent and a Naval Officer ordered to investigate one other. It’s not the first time Patton and Washington have worked together, as they both starred in Deja Vu.

Shooting will begin later in the year on 2 Guns, after Mark Wahlberg completes filming Michael Bay’s comedic thriller Pain and Gain, as well as promoting the comedy Ted, which he stars in and is release this summer.

Denzel Washington May Join Mark Wahlberg In 2 Guns

February 8, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Denzel Washington is always a safe bet for an action thriller, and now he’s lining another one up, as Deadline reports that he’s in talks to star in Universal Pictures graphic novel adaptation 2 Guns, for director Baltasar Kormákur (Contraband).

The slightly The Departed story centres on a DEA agent and an undercover naval officer who are ordered to investigate each other. They soon realise they’ve been double-crossed by the mob, who they were both stealing money from. Mark Wahlberg has been attached to star to star for a while, although it isn’t clear which roles Mark Wahlberg and Denzel Washington will play.

No production schedule was released for 2 Guns, but hopefully that will become clearer after the Berlin Film Festival, where the movie is looking for co-financing.
