Remember when we told you about Natalie Portman‘s decision to produce and star in the film adaptation of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies? That story still stands but now she might be joined by noted director, David O. Russell. According to several online reports Russell has his eye on the Jane Austen inspired zombie feature.
We previously showed you a photo of Christian Bale looking highly emaciated on the set of his upcoming boxing drama, The Fighter. If images like that make your stomach turn, don’t worry because we have a few photos of a shirtless and healthy looking Mark Wahlberg to balance it out. Over at IAmRogue, they’ve posted several production stills from the film, that not only feature Bale and Wahlberg, but also Melissa Leo as their mother.
Check out the emaciated/muscular action in these behind the scenes photos…
The cast for David O. Russell’s The Fighter is shaping up to be one talent filled ensemble. The cast currently includes Mark Wahlberg and Christian Bale as half-brothers, and Oscar nominee Melissa Leo as their mother. Now according to THR, Amy Adams is nearing a deal to join the cast.
