Deadline report that Paula Patton is in talks to star with Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg in 2 Guns, which is based on a Steven Grant graphic novel published by Boom! Studios.
Apparently Patton, who did a great job as the female lead in Brad Bird's
Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol, will be playing Washington's love interest in the movie.
2 Guns is being helmed by Baltasar Kormakur, who just directed Wahlberg in
Contraband. The script was written by Blake Masters. You can check out a synopsis for the comic below.
A pulp story about cops and thieves and the men that are something in between. Trench has targeted a local bank to rob, and asked Steadman in on the job. Trench figures it's a great way to score -- considering it's a cover for mob money. They'll be thieves ripping off thieves. But what Steadman doesn't know is that Trench is a DEA agent. And what Trench doesn't know is that Steadman's a Naval Intelligence officer. They're both cops! And neither one knows that they're not robbing the mob, they've been set up to steal $50 million from the CIA! A light-hearted crime romp in the vein of Ocean's Thirteen and The Italian Job from comics legend, Steven Grant!
