PETALING JAYA: Hollywood star Mark Wahlberg has been spotted filming scenes in Penang on Saturday (July 11), with the shoot believed to be part of Netflix’s upcoming movie The Big Fix.<\/p>\n
Based on videos uploaded across social media platforms by members of the public, Wahlberg was seen wearing a dark green long-sleeved shirt and jeans as he stepped out of a car before walking into a shop.<\/p>\n
The short clips quickly went viral online, with netizens expressing excitement over the sighting of the Hollywood actor in Penang.<\/p>\n
The video also captured the scale of the production, with crew members seen setting up large camera rigs, lighting equipment and a lifting platform, and some roads temporarily closed to accommodate filming activities.<\/p>\n
The production, which stars Wahlberg alongside British actor Riz Ahmed, is believed to have filmed selected scenes in the state as part of the movie’s international shoot.<\/p>\n
The Big Fix is believed to follow an Interpol officer linked to FIFA who uncovers a global match-fixing operation, leading to a high-stakes investigation.<\/p>\n
The Netflix movie is primarily being filmed in Sydney, Australia, with additional scenes shot in other locations to support the film’s global storyline.<\/p>\n
The film also features an international cast, including Singaporean actor Chin Han, Indian actor Vipin Sharma and Malaysian actress Nuha Jes Izman, who is based in the United States.<\/p>\n
Wahlberg, known for films such as Transformers, The Departed and Ted, is one of Hollywood’s most recognisable actors and producers.<\/p>\n
