Peter Berg Will Direct Boston Marathon Drama 'Patriots Day'
CBS Films are currently in final talks with 'Lone Survivor' director Peter Berg to helm Patriots’ Day, which recounts the terrorist attack on the 9/11 remembrance holiday from the perspective of Boston Police commissioner Ed Davis.
Berg's arrival to the project could spark a reunion betwenen himself and Lone Survivor star Mark Wahlberg, who is still in talks for the role of Davis. So far, no deal has been signed by Wahlberg due to potential scheduling conflicts. However, the actor will have some role in the movie if he doesn't end up starring, as he is on board as a producer.
