/Film reported today that Amy Adams (Enchanted) is in final negotiations to star along side Mark Whalberg (The Italian Job) and Christian Bale (The Dark Knight) in David O Russell’s (Three Kings) The Fighter. /Film states that Adams will play ““a tough, gritty bartender and former college high-jumper who ends up dating Wahlberg’s character.”
I’ve been following this film closely as originally Darren Aronofsky and Matt Damon were involved. This cast is shaping up to be great though. I really enjoy Russell’s work, especially in Three Kings. Production is set to begin in a few weeks so look for more updates here on The Film Stage.
What do you think about Amy Adams joining the cast? Are you excited for this film?
