Here's a production still from Mark Wahlberg's upcoming movie, The Fighter. The movie tells the story of real life boxer Irish Mickey Ward, a Boston-area welterweight best known for his several bouts with Arturo Gatti. Uhm...shirtless Mark Wahlberg? Boston accents? People beating the snot out of each other? I am SO seeing this film.
The Fighter is directed by David O'Russell who previously directed Marky Mark in Three Kings and I Heart Huckabees. He's also apparently well-versed in the art of fighting himself since he came to blows with George Clooney on the set of Three Kings and then went on to brawl with Lily Tomlin on the I Heart Huckabees set calling her a 'cunt'. Look for that shit on youtube, it is hilarious watching O'Russell and Tomlin go at it while the lovely Dustin Hoffman just sits there patiently waiting for the shitstorm to pass. Comedy gold.
Anyway, below is the trailer for The Fighter. It looks pretty decent and costars Christian Bale, who apparently, went back on his The Machinist diet for this role. Seriously, someone throw a fucking Oscar at this dude already, his body is gonna say 'fuck it, I quit this bitch' any day now. No wonder he can be a real grumpy pants on set!
