Wahlberg is attached to executive produce and costar with Peter Berg in Cocaine Cowboys, a drama Berg is slated to direct based on the true story of a Vietnam vet who ran a powerful cocaine syndicate in south Florida in the 1970s.
Per the Hollywood Reporter, the drug drama will be adapted by gonzo journalist Evan Wright (Generational Kill) from his in-the-works book about a Vietnam soldier (Wahlberg) who returns home after getting injured and goes to work as a drug dealer, moving from New York nightclubs to the Miami scene. A documentary, also titled Cocaine Cowboys, chronicled the same story in 2006.
