Mark Wahlberg has arrived in New Orleans to kick off ‘Contraband’

Mark Wahlberg’s upcoming movie Contraband doesn’t begin filming in New Orleans until next week but the star is already in town for rehearsals.

He was spotted in the film’s NOLA production offices along with his co-star Kate Beckinsale on Wednesday and has also been seen around the French Quarter this week as well.

On Saturday night Wahlberg will celebrate the new movie, along with the film’s cast and crew, at the Kick Off Party which will be held at the attic at Lucy’s, 701 Tchoupitoulas St, on Saturday night (1.15, 8 pm). Just don’t expect to see him taking a hit off a bong while he’s enjoying the party.

Contraband is about a security guard who considers a return to his smuggling ways when an associate offers him a potentially lucrative opportunity.

  1. Never mind about Wahlberg if anyone spots Ms. Beckinsale around town for love of god report it!!! Immediately! Thanks.

  2. I spotted mark last monday at the windsor court hotel in new orleans. He was hanging around at a private area upstairs at the bar with about 10 guys including ribisi.

  3. There are pics of Beckinsale hopping a plane at LAX on the 14th so I doubt she was in NO on the 13th. To make it easier for the spotters Beckinsale is now sporting blonde hair now{for the role}
