James Franco and Mark Wahlberg to star in Date Night film

Posted By on Thu, Apr 16, 2009 at 4:36 PM

James Franco and Mark Wahlberg will star in Shawn Levy's Date Night film. Read more in the Paste Magazine article below.

James Franco has shown us his amazing comedic skills in his FunnyorDie videos, as well as in Pinneaple Express. He will now put them into practice once again and join the supporting cast of Shawn Levy's Date Night, along with Mark Wahlberg. The comedy stars Steve Carell and Tina Fey, a married couple who find themselves on a date night from hell.

Levy's all-star cast also includes Gossip Girl's Leighton Meester, rapper Common, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button's Taraji P. Henson, and Knocked Up's Kristen Wiig, who has worked with Fey previously on Saturday Night Live.

Common will play the villain in the comedy, putting the couple in danger and with only Henson's good cop character on their side. Wahlberg and Franco will join the mayhem as a successful and flirtatious securities expert and a not very bright conman, respectively.
