Lone Survivor, from director Peter Berg, and starring Mark Wahlberg, is about a Navy Seal who led a team into Afghanistan on a mission to kill a Taliban leader but was the only one to survive.
Lone Survivor was originally scheduled for release in 2014 but pushed up to Christmas 2013 to give Mark Wahlberg a chance at a Best Actor Oscar nomination.
Taylor Kitsch is reportedly Peter Berg’s boy toy in real life, thus received a role in this movie even though he is box office poison – because of Peter Berg’s box office bomb Battleship.
