The Fighter - Irish Micky Ward MOVIE

[The RealDeal]

This might just be a good film.

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.

The success of THE WRESTLER was almost ENTIRELY due to ROURKES outstanding performance.

Mark Walhberg is a very fine actor, no doubt about that, but pulling off that kind of epic performance is no easy task obviously.

Anyways, i think the movie will get its funding regardless simply because Boxing movies do well at the box office more times then not. Not because Boxing is such a popular sport, because its not, but because fighting is very easy to understand and fighters offer up very interesting character studies

I'm sure they'll have a decent budget, getting Mr. Walhberg to look like him more.

I wish... Someone mentioned John playing him, that would be legit. I wonder WHO could play him well?

That and it was a great movie. Aaronofsky did a fantastic job directing it. He's always been one of my favorite directors, although I didn't care much for The Fountain.

If I remember correctly this movie will be about Ward's life growing up and getting involved with boxing. I'm not so sure it will get into his career at all meaning no gatti.

I think it will. I think it'll show the highlights of it. I don't think it'll get into each fight, but be somewhat how the Cinderella Man showed the fights and the dude's life.

I hope that Walhberg can make a believable fighter, but Mickey Ward was great fan fighter to watch and I look forward to seeing a movie that's about him.
