Apparently, this is a real thing. TMZ reports that producer Mark Wahlberg is fully invested in bringing a Caron Butler biopic to the big screen:
Mark Wahlberg is GOING BIG in his search for the perfect director for the Caron Butler biopic — we’re told he’s lasering in on 3 names … Peter Berg, Spike Lee and Barry Jenkins.
Wahlberg has been gung ho about the project since securing the rights to make a movie based on Butler’s life story last year.
