Mark Wahlberg has fix for 'Broken City'

Mark Wahlberg spent years invested in the story of underdog boxer Micky Ward, and he was rewarded with next month’s The Fighter, which is already generating Oscar buzz for its actors. Now Wahlberg has his sights set on another project close to his heart. The actor told MTV News that he’s hoping to make Broken City soon with director Allen Hughes (The Book of Eli). Wahlberg compared the film-noir to Chinatown and L.A.
