Christian Bale & Mark Wahlberg together? Yes please!
The story of Irish Rocky Mickey Ward and the half-brother, Dicky Eklund, a fellow boxer who kicked a drug habit and served jail time before helping him to the world lightweight championship, is finally coming to the big screen. Mark Wahlberg, long attached to the project, will play Ward, while Christian Bale will play Eklund, Variety reports. David O’Russell (Three Kings, I Heart Huckabees) will direct.

Maybe they’ll punch each other into oblivion. Bale has a documented rage problem (not to mention no lips and a nose that is too thin) and as a teenage punk, Wahlberg once beat a Vietnamese guy so badly he lost the sight in one eye. These two princes deserve each other.

It’s David O. Russell, not David O’Russell. Other than that, yes please on this collaboration!

David Russell and Christian Bale? I hope *that* screaming match gets released… It’s bound to happen!

David O. Russell, worst director ever. The only decent movie he’s made is 3 Kings. I hope Chris wipes the floor with him.
