New Regency moves into 'Broken City'

WahlbergCroweNew Regency has come on board to co-produce the Allen Hughes-helmed drama "Broken City" with Mark Wahlberg and Russell Crowe attached to star. Project, written by Brian Tucker, hails from Emmett/Furla Films. New Regency is co-financing the pic, which will be distribbed by Twentieth Century Fox, per its deal with New Regency. "Broken City," set against the backdrop of contemporary NY, centers around a former cop-turned-P.I., who, while attempting to turn his life around, finds himself thrust in the middle of the seedy backroom politics of a corrupt mayoral election. Wahlberg is producing alongside Hughes, Randall Emmett, Stephen Levinson and George Furla. Wahlberg and Crowe are repped by WME. Contact Rachel Abrams at Rachel.Abrams@variety.com
