The screenplay for the project is currently being penned by David Guggenheim (Safe House), while the search for a director is currently underway.
Nearly a year after acquiring the rights to the Mark Wahlberg-led project, Neflix’s action-thriller Our Man From Jersey has found its second A-lister for its cast list in Oscar and Golden Globe winner Halle Berry (John Wick: Chapter 3 — Parabellum).
The story, based on a pitch from Stephen Levinson (Entourage), is being described as a “blue collar 007,” which fits neatly into Wahlberg’s wheelhouse of action star roles.
Guggenheim previously worked with Netflix for the revived third season of Designated Survivor following its cancellation at ABC, though the Kiefer Sutherland-starring political thriller was cancelled a second time.
