HBO's "Boardwalk Empire" has just wrapped up on October 2014, but there are already rumors circulating that the show will return to the big screen. In fact, Mark Wahlberg expressed his interest on producing the film, and even remarked that he wants legendary filmmaker Martin Scorsese to direct.

"My next goal now is to get the movie made and start talking to Martin Scorsese about directing it," Wahlberg stated during an appearance on the radio show "Ralphie Tonight" to promote his new film "The Gambler." According to NJ, the actor wants to pattern the "Boardwalk Empire" movie after the upcoming adaptation of "Entourage" to the big screen on June 5. Wahlberg produced "Entourage," which ran from 2004-2011 on HBO.

Scorsese directed the pilot episode of "Boardwalk Empire" when it premiered in 2010, Cinema Blend reports. The director won an Emmy Award for Best Direction in a Drama Series for the episode, NJ added. He also established "the look of the show during discussions with its creator, Terence Winter," and served as one of the Prohibition drama's executive producers.

"Boardwalk Empire" wasn't the first project that Scorsese and Winter collaborated on. The two worked together on Scorsese's "The Wolf of Wall Street," with Winter penning the script, Cinema Blend noted.

But how would "Boardwalk Empire" work on the big screen? NJ noted that the show's lead character Nucky Thompson, portrayed by Steve Buscemi, met his death in the final episode. This plot would be difficult to pursue if the producers still want Buscemi to headline the film.

Wahlberg, however, dealt with this setback, saying, "We can always go back," and apply a prequel structure to the movie, NJ reports.

Cinema Blend also noted that a young Nucky was shown in the show's final season. He was excellently portrayed by British actor Marc Pickering, who "uncannily captured Buscemi's ticks and mannerisms to a near-perfect level," according to NJ. The last season also featured the gangster's rise to power in Atlantic City during the late 1800s and his struggles with New York's top thugs.

Martin Scorsese's and Mick Jagger's New HBO Project

HBO has officially green lighted Scorsese's and Mick Jagger's still-untitled show set in the 1970s. According to Rolling Stone, the project will revolve around "drug and sex-fueled music business as punk and disco were breaking out," and will star Bobby Cannavale as Richie Finestra, the president of American Century Records.

Other actors involved in the show are Olivia Wilde, Ray Romano, Juno Temple, Jamie Vine, Max Casella, Jack Quaid, P.J. Byrne, and J.C. MacKenzie. Scorsese will direct the pilot and will continue as the one of the show's executive producers alongside Jagger. Winter, on the other hand, will be the showrunner, Rolling Stone reports.
