A behind the scenes look at The Fighter

This particular set of photos from David O. Russell's The Fighter have been online for a while, but nobody really noticed until /Film pointed them out. More than likely all the film festivals had our attention. There are also some video blogs as well.

The Fighter, which stars Mark Wahlberg, Christian Bale, Amy Adams, and Melissa Leo looks at the early years of real-life boxer "Irish" Micky Ward (Wahlberg) and his brother (Bale) who helped train him before going pro in the mid '80s.



There are way more photos at IAmRogue for you to get a look at. The Fighter opens in theaters in 2010.

Get your first look at an incredibly thin Christian Bale on the set of The Fighter. He isn't as thin as he was for The Machinist, but he still looks downright frightening, and the thinned hair doesn't help either. It's probably good for his career, but I can't imagine this being good for his health. [Awards Daily]

Behind-the-scenes 'Public Enemies' featurette with Depp and Bale

Johnny Depp, Christian Bale, and director Michael Mann talk about the film. This is slightly off-topic, but it is Johnny Depp related: in honor of his upcoming birthday fans sent him a gift, and he sort of sent one back. Anyway, the featurette via The Movie Blog is below:

Writer gives 'Public Enemies' his blessing

Today is a slow news day, and since I'm in the process of moving this week, for the first time in 7 years (and to the apartment above mine, no less), I've got next to nothing entertaining to write about, except some Public Enemies news and a new photo featuring Depp as Dillinger via EW:



Bryan Burrough, writer of the book Public Enemies is based on, is impressed with Michael Mann's work on the upcoming film. He hasn't seen the film yet, but from his experience as an extra on the Public Enemies set, he thinks the film will be good:

"Johnny Depp goes down on the same exact piece of pavement that John Dillinger went down on," Burrough said in a phone interview from his home in Summit, N.J. "To see what (director Michael) Mann had done with the period costumes, the period automobiles, everything looking as everything must have looked. For someone who put five years into writing about that, it just kind of gave you chills."

Not that he can yet be sure: Burrough said he hasn't been able to make any of the early screenings.

"I don't know what to expect. I assume, you know, it's a big Johnny Depp movie opening on July 4 (weekend)," he said. "I assume an awful lot of people will go see it. I assume given the people that have made this movie, I assume it's going to be pretty darn good. And I assume that I am going to go to be tickled to death."[Carrie Antlfinger: Associated Press]
