Looks like Mark Wahlberg is going to get a different blond haired, blue eyed co-star that he expected for his upcoming film, “The Fighter”. 

The Paramount Pictures drama about Boston boxer “Irish” Mickey Ward and his unlikely path to become world lightweight champion will replace Matt Damon with Pitt, who had been looking forward to a reteam with Wahlberg, his co-star in “The Departed” and a fellow Bostonian. Damon just had too many projects on his dance card to make the film on the schedule Par wanted.

It’s believed Damon gave his blessing to Pitt, his co-star in the “Ocean’s Eleven” film series.

Nice to see so much of Papa Pitt back in the theatres!
