The Fighter - Irish Micky Ward MOVIE

[pigdestroyer]

Any of you wonder why you've been seeing MORE of Mark Walhberg at boxing events, or hearing him saying he's been training? (not saying he hasn't been around the boxing scene before, or a fan of it) Well, here it is, folks.

He's going to be starring in a movie called The Fighter, playing the role of Irish Micky Ward and rumors of actors such as Brad Pitt, Matt Damon and more to play his brother and close friend, ****y Eklund.

From the looks of it, Walhberg is in, and his co-star to act aside him is yet to be confirmed.

Walking in the directors shoes, is Darren Aronofsky. Aronofsky has directed films such as, Requiem For A Dream, The Fountain, The Wrestler and is supposed to be the directors of the new and re-made Robocop.

Whatcha guys think?

Yea that news has been out for a while now.

The thing is that Walhberg really wants to do the picture, and has been training intensly to get into shape for the role.

HOWEVER, the movie may or may not be made. Its DEFINETLY in some trouble right now, and its unkown if they are going to be pulling the plug on it or not.

I would love to see this movie, should be amazing.

considering how well The Wrestler turned out (it was a low budget film that many didn't think would raise many eyebrows), I'm guessing it will get the funding it needs to be made.

I wonder how he will pull that off...Ward did not look physically strong (muscle mass) Marky Mark always looks cut up..

I searched. Didn't see anything come up. Can you post link? I'll delete, or get rid of all of that if you do.

Rather have John Leguizamo as Gatti

Why didn't get the Tyson movie a good budget limit?
I mean the guy playing as Tyson did a superb job but there were so many flaws and so many dialog errors for example the part where the guy says bowling balls, I mean what the ****? The guy playing Tyson fixed it though.
