Boston-born Wahlberg's expression of interest in Bulger's story, however, is not sitting well with some family members of those Bulger is accused of having killed.

Tue, 15 Nov 2011 17:40:02 +0100 (Reuters) - Two potential customers walk past a Chevrolet Volt electric vehicle and a gas-powered Chevrolet Cruze on display at the Suburban Chevrolet dealership in Ann Arbor, Michigan, October 22, 2011. At the Chevrolet dealership here, customers want to see and touch the Volt, the gasoline-electric hybrid hailed by enthusiasts as the kind of innovation that could secure the future of General Motors. But they usually kick the Volt's tires and move on, often to a Cruze. The compact Chevy gets up to 42 miles per gallon, and you can buy two of them for the cost of one $40,000 Volt. Call it the revenge of the internal combustion engine. Photo taken October 22, 2011. To match Feature AUTOS/ENGINES REUTERS/Rebecca Cook (UNITED STATES - Tags: TRANSPORT BUSINESS EMPLOYMENT)
