Mark Wahlberg to topline 'Reykjavik'

October 05, 2009 Aaron Guzikowski, the WME- and Madhouse-repped writer behind Alcon and Warner Bros.' thriller "Prisoners," is penning the script, and Baltasar Kormakur, the WME-repped Icelandic auteur who produced and starred in the original, is attached to helm the English-language redo. 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.
