We’ve got some more pics from the set of Broken City which is currently filming in Brooklyn with Mark Wahlberg and Catherine Zeta Jones. It’s about an ex-cop (Wahlberg) who’s trailing the wife of New York City's mayor and finds himself immersed in a larger scandal. Cops and Wahlberg seem to go together. Russell Crowe also stars, although we’ve not seen him on set yet. Can’t wait to find out where he fits in to this.

Filming just got underway and they’ll be in Brooklyn for a few weeks before moving the production down to New Orleans. I have no idea if that’s because the story calls for it or because they want to keep filming during the winter and that city can double for New York.  Catherine Zeta Jones, who will next be seen in Playing the Field due out in March with Gerard Butler, had taken a hiatus when husband Michael Douglas was ill. Now that he’s in remission, she’s been very busy of late. In addition to Broken City, she’s got Rock of Ages with Tom Cruise and Lay the Favorite with Bruce Willis and Vince Vaughn, both due out in 2012.

The rest of the cast includes Barry Pepper, Alona Tal and Natalie Martinez. Directed by Allen Hughes (One half of The Hughes Brothers responsible for The Book of Eli, From Hell, Dead Presidents), Broken City is the first feature for screen writer Brian Tucker and already has a release date of January 13, 2013.
