Is this a first look at Mark Wahlberg filming ‘Pain and Gain’ in Miami?

Last week we reported that Dwayne Johnson and Mark Wahlberg were set to begin filming Pain and Gain in Miami on April 6, but it looks like the movie’s start date may have been moved up.

We’ve had at least three tips in as many days from readers who have spotted a movie filming in the Miami area and when they’ve asked the crew  what the production was, they were told it was Pain and Gain.

Also, one of our readers, Lois, sent us some photographic evidence from a shoot at 102nd St and W Bay Harbor Dr in Bay Harbor on March 30. In the photo, which you can see above, two men are driving in a Porche with mid-90s Florida license plates in a scene they were shooting. Though we can only see him form the back, it does look like the driver could be Mark Wahlberg.

The car and license plate also fit in with the movie which revolves around a gang of Miami bodybuilders, known as the Sun Gym gang, who got involved in selling drugs in the 90s.

Pain and Gain is expected to spend a significant portion of the shoot at 8000 Biscayne Blvd, which they are redesigning to look like Sun Gym. Permits have also been issued for the movie to shoot on “Overtown District Streets” in the coming weeks.

Pain and Gain isn’t the only production in town though. USA’s Burn Notice also began filming season 6 in Miami a couple of weeks ago.
