'The Fighter': December 10, 2010

Director David O. Russell (Three Kings, I Heart Huckabees) is at it once again with his next film entitled, The Fighter. The movie, tells the story of Irish boxer Mickey Ward (Mark Whalberg) and his rise to welter weight champion status with the help of his boxer-turned-trainer brother, Dickie Eklund (Bale). The film delves into the lives of both these men's rocky lives both in and out of the ring, touching on issues such as crime, drugs, and utter perseverance from a questionable boxer. Both Bale and Whalberg prepared mentally and physically for this role, as both men lost and put on weight for their respective characters. The Fighter, currently doing some re shoots for it's December release date, also stars Academy Award Nominees, Amy Adams and Melissa Leo. With a star studded cast, including two amazing male leads that bring intensity on screen to every role, look for David O. Russell's project to have plenty of potential for success.
