Mark Wahlberg is making another movie in his hometown.
According to Deadline, the actor is attached to "Patriots' Day," a CBS Films project centered around the Boston Marathon bombings of 2013. Wahlberg is going to be a producer on the film and is eyeing to star in it as well.
The report says the movie will be "based on the firsthand account of Boston Police Commissioner Ed Davis" regarding the events. That includes the manhunt the city of Boston underwent to find Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. If Wahlberg gets the lead role, he will be portraying Davis.
The script is not yet finished but is being written by Matt Charman, who penned the upcoming Steven Spielberg-directed Cold War film "Bridge of Spies," which stars Tom Hanks.
"There is nothing more compelling than a real story populated by real heroes," CBS Films president Terry Press said. "The team that we have assembled for this project is determined to give audiences a very personal look at what occurred during the days when the eyes of the world were on the city of Boston and how a group of contemporary patriots faced this crisis."
Michael Radutzky, a senior producer for "60 Minutes," is also helping produce "Patriots' Day." Because of its connection to the network's program, CBS Films will use footage and information "60 Minutes" has from the bombings.
