Who'll be in the movie version of the recent events in Boston

We envision Katherine Bigelow directing something that is kind of a casting mashup of "The Fighter", "Good Will Hunting", and "The Departed."

Mark Wahlberg, Ben Afflek, and Matt Damon seem obvious choices for various cops. We're thinking Jamie Foxx as Deval Patrick and Robin Williams as Thomas Menino.
