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]
