New Mexico Business Weekly - Mark Wahlberg and Denzel Washington’s new crime drama is headed to New Mexico. “2 Guns” will shoot in New Mexico for about three weeks during August and September in and around Albuquerque and Santa Fe. The production will use 10 principal actors from New Mexico, create work for at least 100 New Mexico crew members and use more than 400 background talent workers, according to a New Mexico Film Office news release. In addition to Wahlberg and Washington, the film, a collaboration between Universal Pictures, Marc Platt Productions and Emmett-Furla Films, stars Paula Patton, Bill Paxton, James Marsden, Fred Ward and Edward James Olmos. “2 Guns” will be directed by Baltasar Kormákur, who also directed Wahlberg in 2012’s “Contraband,” according to the Hollywood Reporter. The film is based on a Boom! Studios graphic novel of the same name by Steven Grant. The Boom! Studios website describes the “2 Guns” graphic novel as “a pulp story about cops and thieves and the men that are something in between ... a light-hearted crime romp in the vein of ‘Ocean’s Thirteen’ and ‘The Italian Job.’” Read More News New Mexico
