Mark Wahlberg and Brie Larson in ‘Gambler’ remake?
Mark Wahlberg finally got his high school diploma and now he wants to play a professor? Apparently. Deadline.com reports that Wahlberg and “21 Jump Street’’ actress Brie Larson are in negotiations to star in a remake of “The Gambler,’’ the 1974 film that starred James Caan as a professor with a serious gambling problem. Rupert Wyatt, whose credits include “Rise of the Planet of the Apes,’’ would direct, from a script by “The Departed’’ scribe William Monahan.
