Mark Wahlberg Joins Oscar Isaac, Garrett Hedlund in ‘Mojave’

William Monahan wrote, directed and produced the movie for Atlas Independent

Mark Wahlberg has revealed that he has filmed a supporting role in William Monahan‘s “Mojave,” which stars Oscar Isaac and Garrett Hedlund.

Wahlberg was promoting “Transformers: Age of Extinction” at CinemaCon where he told Collider that he plays “a small part” in Mojave.

Wahlberg and Monahan have a long history together, as Monahan wrote Wahlberg’s movies “The Departed” and “The Gambler,” which recently wrapped production.

Monahan also wrote “American Desperados,” a feature adaptation of the documentary “Cocaine Cowboys” that Wahlberg said he plans to start shooting in September under the direction of his “Lone Survivor” collaborator Peter Berg.

“Mojave” is an Atlas Independent production that follows a near-suicidal artist (Hedlund) who escapes into the desert to take an existential crisis head-on, only to encounter a doppelganger-like antagonist in the form of a brilliant, homicidal drifter (Isaac).

Wahlberg’s role remains under wraps.
