Actor John Goodman has been cast to play former Boston Police Commissioner Ed Davis in an upcoming movie about the Boston Marathon bombing.
The movie, titled "Patriots Day," will depict the events surrounding the 2013 bombing of the Boston Marathon, according to CBS Films.
CBS Films will produce the movie.
Mark Wahlberg and J.K. Simmons will also star in the movie, according to CBS Films.
Production on the movie will begin later in March in Boston. Production will begin in New York and Los Angeles on Dec. 21, according to CBS Films.
Goodman will chronicle Davis’s role in investigating the bombing, including how he worked with law enforcement officials to capture the Tsarnaev brothers.
Dzhokar Tsarnaev is serving life in prison for his role in the bombing. His brother, Tamerlan, was killed during a shootout with police in Watertown.
Authorities say Tamerlan Tsarnaev helped his brother carry out the attacks.
