Mark Wahlberg has attached his name to a sci-fi action/thriller titled THE JACKET. He would play a suspected murderer who, while being tortured by his jailors, suddenly finds himself with the power to see his own death. Using this ability the prisoner tries to stay one step ahead of his captors and remain alive while imprisoned.

British director John Maybury has also attached his name to the project which is being produced by Section 8's Steven Soderbergh and George Clooney and by Mandalay Pictures' Peter Guber. First refusal of distribution rights will be given to Warner Bros. If all can be worked out between Wahlberg and Maybury filming would commence this fall.
