Okay, this has Merchant in it. Epic. The fights actually look like they are being aired as they normally would. Epic.
really looking forward to this, shame it doesn't get up to the gatti part of his career, lotta people going to see this and not know about his best work
Looks half decent. When Christian Bale takes on a role, he really goes for it doesn't he...looks like he's lost a load of weight again.
I guess Wahlberg was the logical choice for the role, but I never was convinced he's got the talent to play a complex character based on a real person such as Ward. I guess Bale is OK as Eklund, he's got the talent and we all know he's got the anger inside (lol), while Adams is a question mark, her success depends on the chemistry. I loved the idea of Aronofsky directing it (though IMO The Wrestler hugely overrated), but with O. Russell, I have my concerns. Anyway, the trailer was ok, and it rarely tells about the quality of the film, so I look forward seeing it.
Yeah, bit disappointed with that tbh. They're using the WBU fight with Neary as his big title win atsch
I adore ward but this looks ****!!! Why are they not speaking like dickey and mickey? Dickey is a crackhead and bale looks far to healthy to play him!! should have got into the role more and honked on a crackpipe!!
Surely a sequel is possible then? His career and life post-Neary is as interesting, with the Gatti connection.
Looks decent to me.. If it stops at the neary fight, then i can only assume that a sequel is in the pipeline depending on how well this one does... Christian Bale looks crazy in this film...He looks mad skinny and about 10 years older than he is..
