Actor Mark Wahlberg says "the biggest responsibility" for himself and the makers of the new movie Deepwater Horizon was to honor the real-life victims of the 2010 oil rig disaster.
"The oil can ultimately be cleaned up, (but) those 11 men can't be replaced," Wahlberg said at the film's London premiere on Monday.
"Those were fathers, brothers, husbands, uncles, cousins. We can't replace those guys and so when they approached me about doing this film, I thought, 'What better way to promote their story'," he says.
