While we're still waiting for him to get the Uncharted: Drake's Fortune adaptation off the ground with David O. Russell, it looks like Mark Wahlberg just keeps finding new projects for his future slate. Variety reports Universal just picked up a spec script from newcomer Matthew J. O'Neill called Bait and Switch. Though details of the plot have not yet been revealed, it's said to be an action comedy and has Wahlberg pairing up with producer Scott Stuber (Role Models, Your Highness) again. The two are next collaborating for Seth MacFarlane's raunchy live-action/CG hybrid comedy Ted, a movie that's also set up at Universal.

As far as I'm concerned, Wahlberg taking on another action comedy is great news. The guy turned in an almost surprisingly hilarious performance in The Other Guys alongside comedy giant Will Ferrell, and that's no easy task. And honestly, with a producer like Stuber on board, a guy who has taken on comedy and action (he's also producing Safe House with Ryan Reynolds and Denzel Washington, not to mention Battleship) this has the potential to be something good
