Yahoo have released an awesome new featurette which gives us a great behind the scenes look of new Christian Bale and Mark Wahlberg’s new movie, The Fighter. The featurette looks specifically at Bale’s character of Dicky Eklund, how he lost all the weight to fit into the role and how all the other attributes that all merge together to create the real life character.
The Fighter also stars Amy Adams, Melissa Leo, Robert Wahlberg, Dendrie Taylor and is directed by David O. Russell.
Synopsis: THE FIGHTER is the inspirational true story of two boxing legends. Dicky Ecklund (CHRISTIAN BALE) is a former boxing legend whose life has become shattered by drug abuse whilst Micky Ward (MARK WAHLBERG), his half brother, has become the town’s fighter and fading hope for a champion. But with Micky losing fight after punishing fight, it takes iron-willed Charlene (AMY ADAMS), to help him split with his family, pursue his own interests and train without his criminal brother.
The Fighter is released in the UK 4th February.
