Amy Adams
The sausage party Christian Bale and Mark Wahlberg are having on the set of The Fighter should be rectified with the addition of Amy Adams. That is, if she agrees to join the cast of the biopic.
Amy Adams In Talks for The Fighter
Written by Scott Silver and Lewis Colick, The Fighter tells the story of Boston fighter "Irish" Mickey Ward and how he was helped to the world lightweight championship by half-brother Dicky Eklund. Eklund once decked Sugar Ray Leonard and went the distance against the boxing legend before forfeiting his career to drugs and crime. He redeemed himself by training Ward through his Rocky-like run to the title.
Adams would play a gritty bartender from Massachusetts who ends up dating Wahlberg's character, "Irish" Mickey Ward.
Adams can next be seen opposite Meryl Streep in Julie and Julia.
