First of all, this movie looks awesome! AWESOME!! I was actually able to attend a talk with one of the movie's producers David Hoberman this week and was shown a glimpse of his upcoming work on "Irish" Mickey Ward.
The Fighter was filmed mostly in Lowell last year. Mark Wahlberg and Christian Bale play the two leads in the movie, boxing brothers Dickie and Mickey. The chemistry of these two was electric in few scenes I was shown. That electricity was heightened by documentary footage of the real brothers he put together when researching for the film. Powerful stuff.
And as for the movie, it looks like they nailed the Boston feel, the accents and I'm dying to see where they take it. I mean they make Lowell look like Lowell the way Good Will Hunting made Southie look like Southie. A release date is hard to find, but I'm told it should hit theaters this fall.
Hoberman was quoted in an article this week by the Boston Herald with his views on the ongoing film credit discussion in Boston. Here's the article.
