Mark Wahlberg’s Arthur the King is Based on a True Story
Apart from the obvious loaded cuteness and the terrific plotline, what makes people more hooked to the story is its authenticity. While being based on Mikael Lindnord’s memoir Arthur: The Dog Who Crossed the Jungle to Find a Home, the book is actually inspired by a true story that is now being adapted into a movie featuring Mark Wahlberg.
The true story follows the life of a man and a stray dog who found each other during an adventure race in Ecuador. This phenomenal story undoubtedly inspired Mark Wahlberg and Lionsgate to proceed with the project. But apart from the Transformers star, the film also has other high-profile talents including Simu Liu.
Arthur the King is a story about victory, loyalty, and most importantly, friendship. The remarkable film about the dog’s seemingly impossible journey alongside his human friends is certainly one of a kind that is deemed to make an impact at the box office upon its release on 22 March 2024.
