"The Dark Knight" and upcoming "Terminator: Salvation" star Christian Bale is
reportedly in negotiations to star alongside Dorchester homeboy Mark Wahlberg in the
set-in-Boston thriller "Prisoners."
Bryan Singer, director of "Superman Returns," is said to be interested in it, but he
hasn't confirmed.
The project, generating major buzz on the Left Coast that has piqued the interest of
nearly every major studio in town according to the Hollywood Reporter, centers around
a Boston father whose 6-year-old daughter and her best friend are kidnapped. The
film's protagonist, a role that seems to be a better fit for Bale than Wahlberg, takes
matters into his own hands by kidnapping the man he suspects is responsible.
There's also a young, brash detective in charge of the investigation. It's a role perfect
for Wahlberg.
Insiders say the tone of the revenge-fantasy flick penned by previously unknown
Aaron Guzikowski is a cross between “Silence of the Lambs” and “Seven.”
