Mark Wahlberg to Star in Dog Adventure Movie ARTHUR THE KING

Mark Wahlberg is set to star in the true-life canine adventure story "Arthur the King". The film is based on the 2017 non-fiction book "Arthur: The Dog who Crossed the Jungle to Find a Home" by Mikael Lindnord, which tells the true story of a Swedish adventure racer who won the hearts of millions when he and his team adopted Arthur, a badly wounded but big-hearted stray dog who tagged along with them during an epic 435-mile endurance race across Ecuador.

The adaptation is penned by Michael Brandt ("3:10 to Yuma", "Wanted"), who will also serve as executive producer alongside Dorothy Canton ("After"). Mark Canton, Tucker Tooley, Courtney Solomon and Tessa Tooley are on board as producers

Wahlberg will also star in Netflix's upcoming crime drama "Wonderland" from director Peter Berg ("Lone Survivor"), which is based on the novel of the same name by Ace Atkins. He has also completed filming on the drama "Good Joe Bell" in which he stars opposite Connie Britton and Gary Sinise. He is attached to star in "The Six Billion Dollar Man", an adaptation of the popular 1970s TV series of the same name, as well as Antoine Fuqua's sci-fi "Infinite", based on D. Erick Maikranz's novel.
