Los Angeles, Feb 26 (IANS) Oscar-winning actor and voice artist J.K. Simmons will join Mark Wahlberg in the Boston Marathon bombing drama “Patriots’ Day”.

The film is based on the account of Boston Police Commissioner Ed Davis. Wahlberg, Scott Stuber, Hutch Parker, Dylan Clark, Stephen Levinson and Michael Radutzky are producing “Patriots’ Day”, which begins shooting next month in Boston.
