Mark Wahlberg’s Pete Rose movie needs these Hollywood stars

Mark Wahlberg is working on a Pete Rose movie. So, who should be cast in the film?

“We’re talking about doing Pete Rose, right now,” Wahlberg said during his April 8 appearance on the “Throwbacks” podcast, hosted by Matt Leinart and Jerry Ferrara.

He explained the movie would follow Rose when he’s older and returns to the Cincinnati Reds as a player/manager. Rose was a player/manager from 1984-1986 and continued as the team’s manager after retiring from playing through 1989.

“We’ve been actively developing (that movie) right now and speaking to filmmakers, so we’ve got a script,” Wahlberg said.

The Enquirer wanted to figure out which Hollywood stars would be great for the movie. We took two strategies: We asked the people of downtown Cincinnati, and we put together a dream cast ouselves.
