This month marks the two-year anniversary of the Boston Marathon bombings, which killed three people, injured at least 264 others, and subsequently placed the nation in the widely televised grip of a terribly complicated (and just plain terrible) manhunt. Two years really doesn’t seem like a big enough buffer between actual tragedy and big-screen movie, but that hasn’t stopped at least two movie studios from launching their own Boston Marathon features. Of course, it’s understandable that there is a level of interest regarding the events of April 15, 2013, but it’s increasingly difficult to separate that from general looky-looism, especially now that Hollywood is launching such projects with the same regularity as new takes on the Robin Hood mythos.

It just feels kind of wrong.

We’ve long known about Boston Strong, a Fox feature that is being penned by RoboCop scribe Joshua Zetumer from a first draft by Paul Tamasy and Eric Johnson, as based on Casey Sherman and Dave Wedge’s book of the same name. Casey Affleck was originally attached to produce and star in Boston Strong back in October, though hastily left the project mere weeks later, around the time that Safe House director Daniel Espinosa signed on to direct the feature. The film is reportedly a “big priority project for the studio,” and Fox is hoping that Espinosa will be able to shoot footage from this month’s marathon.

(Again, I get it, you’re going to need that kind of footage for the film, but that doesn’t dilute the vaguely nauseated feeling I get when I imagine how it will be explained to people running the marathon who might have endured a tragedy that is barely old enough to be considered a toddler.)

Now Deadline reports that CBS Films is launching its own project about the bombing and the manhunt that followed. The studio is apparently fast-tracking Patriots’ Day, which “will tell the story based on the firsthand account of Boston Police Commissioner Ed Davis, with help from research done and footage shot by 60 Minutes.” The film’s screenplay is coming from Bridge Of Spies scribe Matt Charman, and is reportedly “nearly complete.”

The outlet also reports that Mark Wahlberg, who will produce the film, is hoping to play Davis. Per Deadline, “they hope to move quickly to lock down an A-list filmmaker and make this the next outing for Wahlberg, who conveniently doesn’t have his next film set.”

Patriots’ Day is “envisioned as an intense thriller, spanning the five-day search up to the infamous siege where Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was pulled from a boat in Watertown.” Tsarnaev is currently on trial for 30 counts related to the bombing, 17 of which come with the possibility of the death penalty. The defense rested its case just yesterday after a 15-day trial. Closing arguments for both sides have been scheduled for April 6, two weeks before the 119th Boston Marathon will take place.

Both Patriots’ Day and Boston Strong will reportedly focus on the same story elements—the bombing, the subsequent tragedy, the following manhunt—but Lionsgate is also planning its own feature, with a more personal twist. Last July, the studio bought the rights to Stronger, a book penned by bombing survivor Jeff Bauman and co-writer Bret Witter, which chronicles Bauman’s recovery after losing both his legs in the bombing. That film is still in development.
