For Now, Christian Bale Is Just a Man
A skinny Christian Bale walked around the set of The Fighter yesterday in Boston. He's lost weight for his role as a drug addicted boxer, which is quite the contrast to his beefed-up costar Mark Wahlberg. Christian will have a reason to put the pounds back on if he reprises his role in the next Batman movie, which is apparently set to start filming next year.
Marky Mark Still Has the Shirtless Body of a Fighter
Mark Wahlberg stripped down to show off his abs and bloody face on the set of The Fighter in Massachusetts yesterday. That six-pack is part of what made him famous all those years ago in his Calvin Klein ads and the shirtless Marky Mark showed that he hasn't let himself go. Meanwhile, his costar Christian Bale's dramatic weight loss was turning heads too as he throws himself into the role.
Bloody Mark Wahlberg and Slender Christian Bale Are Fighters
Mark Wahlberg and Christian Bale were both decked out in their 80s fashion on the set of The Fighter in Massachusetts yesterday. Mark's bloody face and bruises are already living up to the movie's title, though it's Christian who looks a little worse for the wear. Bale is known for the transformations he makes for movies and this time he appears to have dropped a noticeable amount of weight already to play a boxer who becomes a drug addict.
Amy Adams Joins Wahlberg and Bale in The Fighter
Now that the filmmakers have finally settled on the two male leads for The Fighter, a lady love has been cast. The endearing Amy Adams will join Mark Wahlberg and Christian Bale in the story about a famed Massachusetts boxer. Based on a true story, Wahlberg will play "Irish" Mickey Ward and Bale will play Ward's "trainer-brother" Dick Eklund, and the movie will follow "their early days on the rough streets of Lowell, Mass., through Eklund's battle with drugs and Ward's eventual world championship in London."
Which Pairing For The Fighter Is the Best?
Over two years ago, there was news that Mark Wahlberg and Matt Damon would star together in The Fighter, a drama about "Boston fighter 'Irish' Mickey Ward [Wahlberg] and how he was helped to the world lightweight championship by half-brother Dicky Eklund" (Damon).
Then, about seven months later, Matt Damon dropped out of the project and Brad Pitt was in talks to take his place in the role of Dicky.
Now Pitt's out of the picture and Christian Bale is joining the cast as Dicky (and the movie will be directed by David O.
Brad Pitt to Replace Matt Damon in The Fighter
Yup. Pretty much what the title says.
Matt Damon was originally signed on to star opposite Mark Wahlberg in The Fighter, but due to scheduling conflicts, Damon dropped out of the project.
Matt's Cute Profile Maybe Headed Home
Matt Damon looked super cute while filming The Bourne Ultimatum in the JFK airport this week. I'm sure he misses his recent home of Miami, but if all goes as plans he may get to spend some QT in his OG home, Boston, filming his next movie. Matty is rumored to be starring alongside fellow Bay Stater, Mark Wahlberg, in an upcoming film called The Fighter.
Mark Wahlberg and Matt Damon: Fighters, Not Lovers
Pending a rewrite by "House" producer Paul Attanasio, Mark Wahlberg and Matt Damon will probably sign on to star in an upcoming boxing drama called The Fighter. According to Entertainment Weekly, the movie is about "boxer 'Irish' Micky Ward's rise to the lightweight title with the help of half-brother Dicky, a boxer-turned-trainer who rebounded after struggles with drugs and crime." It's no remake of Brokeback Mountain - though I know many of you wish it were; in The Fighter they'll play half-brothers, so the whole romance thing is (hopefully) not going to happen.
