Peter Berg, Mark Wahlberg, Ronda Rousey, and Iko Uwais Team For Action Movie MILE 22

Director Peter Berg and actor Mark Wahlberg memorably teamed up for the war thriller Lone Survivor a couple of years ago, and they've worked together a couple of times since then on the HBO series Ballers and the upcoming Deepwater Horizon. Now THR reports that the duo is in negotiations to join forces once again, this time for an action movie called Mile 22 that also has UFC fighter Ronda Rousey and action star Iko Uwais attached to star.

The Graham Roland-written script tells of a CIA agent (Wahlberg) stationed in Indonesia who is tasked with transporting a compromised informant from the center of the city to an awaiting getaway plane at an airport 22 miles away.

While en route, they must battle corrupt police, criminal overlords and heavily armed locals, all hell-bent on taking them out before they reach their plane.

So it's the Bruce Willis movie 16 Blocks, but longer? I guess that could work.

Rousey had a small but memorable role in this year's Furious 7, in which her character fought Michelle Rodriguez's character in a swanky Dubai high rise tower, and she also appeared as Turtle's potential love interest in the Entourage movie. Action movie fans will recognize Uwais as the lead of both The Raid and The Raid 2, and supposedly he also has a role in the upcoming Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

What do you all think about Mile 22?
