Mark Wahlberg is taking a global tour. The actor has come on board to star in "
Reykjavik-Rotterdam," a remake of an Icelandic thriller that has been set up at Working Title.
The plot centers on a security guard and former alcohol smuggler on the Iceland-Netherlands route who is tempted back into illicit business by a dubious friend after encountering financial problems. The original, which Oskar Jonasson directed, is Iceland's submission for this year's foreign-language Oscar race and won five of that country's film awards.
