'We Own The Night' For Phoenix & Wahlberg


Joaquin PhoenixJoaquin Phoenix and Mark Wahlberg are teaming up to star in the drama We Own the Night, says Variety.

The feature, helmed by James Gray, is set at the height of a bloody 1980s struggle between Gotham cops and a Russian mob that targeted law officers and their families. That led the NYPD to hang "We Own the Night" banners in precinct houses and step up their efforts.

Wahlberg and Phoenix play siblings in a cop-dominated family, with Phoenix the black sheep who ends up managing a Russian mob-controlled nightclub.

The project will shoot in New York in March.
