Filming right now in Los Angeles, screen legend Jessica Lange just joined to play Mark Wahlberg‘s mother in Paramount’s remake of 1974’s original movie ‘The Gambler’.

Wahlberg reprises James Caan‘s role of a college professor with a gambling addiction so out of control that he steals money from his own mother.

Two-time Oscar winner Lange who plays rich and ostentatious, is coming off of Golden Globe and SAG nominations for her amazing witch role in American Horror Story.

Great pairing.
