Here Comes "The Fighter"

Directed by David Russell, "The Fighter" is a story about Dickie Eklund (Christian Bale) helping his brother, "Irish" Mickey Ward (Mark Wahlberg) train for a championship. Based on a true story of an underdog boxer, the film will take viewers through the ups and downs Mickey Ward has faced in his tough journey.

Rocky anyone? A real life Rocky? Hell yes. Plus Bale and Wahlberg are 2 of my favorite actors so this has loads of potential. Amy Adams is in it too. This isn't about some oldie either as Mickey last fought in 2003, finishing his career winning 38 (KO 27) and losing 13 (KO 1). He's best known for his trilogy of fights with the late Arturo Gatti, the final 3 fights of his career back in '02 and '03.

It's out Dec 10th and the official trailer made it's way online this week so here it is:
