No clue how I missed this thread months ago but I saw an interview with Taya Kyle and Bradley Cooper about him playing Chris Kyle and the first question to Taya was why Bradley Cooper. She responded by saying that Chris really liked Cooper as an actor and they'd become friends several years back. So when they first started talking about possibly making a movie about Kyle in the future, Cooper was at the top of the list to try and cast.Originally posted by kbscobravert View PostOriginally posted by JesterFORGTN SOLD1ER - xbox gamerOriginally posted by DennyComment

Actor Mark Wahlberg had a few things to say about Hollywood privilege Tuesday night.
In a highly emotional Q&A session for the premiere of “Lone Survivor,” Wahlberg, sitting with Marcus Luttrell, the celebrated former Navy SEAL whom the highly anticipated film is based on, laid out the stark differences between what actors and soldiers go through.
“For actors to sit there and talk about, ‘Oh I went to SEAL training,’ and I slept on the — I don’t give a f*** what you did. You don’t do what these guys did,” Wahlberg said after the “Lone Survivor” screening, according to The Wrap.
“For somebody to sit there and say my job was as difficult as somebody in the military’s. How f***ing dare you. While you sit in a makeup chair for two hours,” he continued.
Wahlberg’s comments came after statements widely attributed to Tom Cruise went viral, in which Cruise appeared to compare shooting movies on location to serving in Afghanistan with regard to being away from his daughter. Wahlberg didn’t name Cruise, and Cruise didn’t actually make the comparison: an attorney made the suggestion, and as TMZ later reported, Cruise said, “Oh come on.”
But Wahlberg made no bones about the fact that the effort behind filmmaking isn’t in the same universe as what soldiers have to endure.
“I don’t give a s*** if you get your a** busted. You get to go home at the end of the day. You get to go to your hotel room. You get to order f***ing chicken. Or your steak. Whatever the f*** it is,” he said.
Wahlberg then mentioned Luttrell by name, honoring his and all soldiers’ service to America, while placing what he himself does in stark contrast.
“I trained for four-and-a-half years, and I was ‘The Fighter’ and … f*** all that. It really means nothing,” Walberg said. “I love Marcus for what he’s done, and I’m a very lucky guy to do what I do, and I’m proud to have been part of it, but it’s just so much bigger than what I do.”
If there was any endorsement of the job he and the other actors for “Lone Survivor,” Wahlberg said it was all about the details and making sure the film was authentic.
Director Peter Berg “would never let any one of us forget about what was important in the course of making the movie and whether it was Marcus or the other SEAL guys,” Wahlberg said.
“If they saw something that didn’t ring true, I don’t care if it was going to be the biggest stunt sequence in the movie, they would cut, call bulls***, and grab all of us by the f***ing back of the neck and say, ‘No, do it this way, and do it right and make it real,’ and if you don’t, it’s a problem. I was really proud to be a part of that.”Originally posted by JesterFORGTN SOLD1ER - xbox gamerOriginally posted by DennyComment

Hell yeah. Chatted with Clint Bruce (founder of Trident) for a few hours yesterday and he's good buddies with Marcus, Chris Kyle/wife/family, personally knew Danny, Axe, helicopter pilot of the crashed helicopter, etc. Obviously a very small community. I've read Lone Survivor and though it was outstanding. Read it in two sittings, it's that good.
Clint recommended "Fearless" by Adam Brown as another very good book to read and I can't wait to watch the Lone Survivor movie.
Spending time with Clint yesterday, it's just so apparent these guys are a different breed. They literally wake up pissing excellence every single day and never ever ever give up or take mediocrity as an acceptable substitute. It's humbling and really makes you question yourself when you bitch about stupid little things at work and at home.Ford

Fearless was a great story about one man, The Only Thing Worth Dying for is another great story but about a special forces team.Comment
