Wright Lives In "Broken City"

Jeffrey Wright has joined the Allen Hughes drama "Broken City" reports Variety.


The film follows an ex-cop turned private detective (Mark Wahlberg) who is hired by the mayor (Russell Crowe) to see if his wife (Catherine Zeta-Jones) is cheating on him. When the mayor's wife's cheating partner ends up dead, the private eye immerses himself in the mayor's business and uncovers a real estate scandal that involves dealing himself choice city-owned properties.

Wright will play the police commissioner who has a complicated history with Crowe's character.

Barry Pepper will play a closeted councilman, while Natalie Martinez and Alona Tal play women in Wahlberg's life in Brian Tucker's Black Listted script.
