New movie about Mickey Ward

oh shit oh shit, Bale is my favorite actor right now, I cant wait for this to get going

I'll like to see this shit.:boxing:

Yup. And after The Wrestler, it's clear that Aronofsky knows how to do a great athlete biopic. I was intrigued by The Wrestler cause Aronofsky never tackled a project like that, but I thought it was the best film of the year last year. Aronofsky would have made this film gold. It really fukking sucks that he's out. Is he really making RoboCop? I heard him talk about this before as a possibility. He should get Bale for that actually but I wonder how much he will change since I don't know if it is an actual re-make of the same exact story. I could see him making it rated "R" as well. Anyway, I'm not that hyped up for this movie anymore. Bale would be the only reason I would hold out hopes it would be good since he does very good movies.

Hopefully I'm wrong but I just don't see it with Russell. Isn't he allegedly a loose cannon and treats his actors like shit? Maybe he was justified since I wasn't there, but if he gives Bale shit, expect Batman to drop him. Plus, his movies are average at best like you said. Three Kings was OK. Spanking the Monkey was...eh. I Heart Huckabees was Ok as well but I didn't like it the first few times I tried to watch it. Jason Schwartzman made that movie and Naomi Watts was nice to look at. I just think you need someone better; someone with more "drama" and imagination to get this movie where it should be. But I'm not in the business and I don't know these guys so.... Just saying, based on his work, it's not awe inspiring or worth my money. Yup. And after The Wrestler, it's clear that Aronofsky knows how to do a great athlete biopic.

Production stalls and Aronofsky just got tired of it, and he moved on. That really, really curbs my enthusiasm for this movie. Aronofsky directing this=Awesomeness. O'Russell= average.

nice cant wait for this

Why is Russell directing this movie? Darren Aronofsky is way better. I know he got a lot of slack for the Fountain but I thought that was a good movie. And then he has other movies to back him up anyway for his talent. Bale is cool. I often hear having a great actor can make a below-average actor much better.

Yea they've been trying to get this movie off the ground for 2 years now. I'm eager to see how they'll pull it off though. I wonder who'll play Gatti.

Yea, but losing Aronofsky made the appeal go wayyyyy down. But this is probably a big reason why Bale was with Whalberg at Pac's camp in "24/7". I was wondering why Bale was there.
