What do Mark Wahlberg, Lebron James and the “Rocky Steps” all have in common? They’re all connected to a movie being filmed in Philadelphia this weekend called “Weekend Warriors.”<\/p>\n

Philly photographer HughE Dillon shared video with CBS News Philadelphia showing Wahlberg atop the steps at the Philadelphia Art Museum shooting the film, produced by Apple Studios, Plan B Entertainment and The SpringHill Company, the production company founded by Lebron James and Maverick Carter.<\/p>\n

Wahlberg appears to take a few bites of a sandwich in the clip \u2014 we can guess it’s probably a Philly cheesesteak \u2014 and then throws a few pretend boxing punches with a young actor. Then he throws both fists in the air \u2014 just like Sylvester Stallone does in “Rocky.”<\/p>\n

According to its IMDB page, “Weekend Warriors” is a film about a father and his son with autism who visit every NBA team in search of the son’s favorite. The film is based on a 2023 German film “Wochenend Rebellen” or “Weekend Rebels,”<\/a> about a father who takes his son with autism to see every team in the Premier League.<\/p>\n

Dillon says the film will be shooting at Sunday night’s Philadelphia 76ers game against the Detroit Pistons at Xfinity Mobile Arena.<\/p>\n

Stephen Chbosky, known for “The Perks of Being a Wallflower” and the Emma Watson-led remake of “Beauty and the Beast,” is writing and directing “Weekend Warriors.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"What do Mark Wahlberg, Lebron James and the “Rocky Steps” all have in common?
