Last night David O. Russell’s The Fighter starring Mark Wahlberg, Christian Bale, Melissa Leo, and Amy Adams had it’s first ever screening at AFI Festival. The secret screening was only announced yesterday morning and over 100 people were turned away at the door.

JustJared has posted some photos of Christian Bale on the set of his upcoming film The Fighter with the headline “Christian Bale Looks Crack Cocaine Addicted.” Yet once again, we see that Bale has gone all out and has changed his physical appearance and weight to reflect that of his characters Dickie Eklund.

While promoting his upcoming film Public Enemies, Christian Bale gave Collider some details on his upcoming role in Fighter including a possible start date. Until now, nothing had been confirmed for the film, but Bale’s biceps seem to think they’re going to begin shooting soon. He seems to be eager to jump into Fighter, not only because it’s being made by recently Academy Award nominated Director Darren Aronofsky but because of the fact that he has been boxing like crazy to get in shape for the role.
Bale also spoke breifly about the chances of Batman 3 and Terminator 5 being made.
Check out what he had to say below…

It looks as if somebody’s decided to give Christian Bale a “fighting” chance. The actor has landed the role of a boxer turned trainer opposite Mark Wahlberg in The Fighter. According to Variety, Bale will star as Dicky Eklund the half-brother of Wahlberg’s ”Irish” Mickey Ward. After kicking a bad drug habit, Eklund turns his life around and helps his brother to the world lightweight championship.

The lackluster marketing campaign for Street Fighter:The Legend of Chun Li is getting worse by the minute. The powers that be have released a follow up promotional item to that dismal, Japanese trailer they released last month. The Legend of Chun Li has a new poster that features co-stars Kristin Kreuk, Neal McDonough, Michael Clarke Duncan, Moon Bloodgood, and Chris Klein. Yes, as in Chris Klein from American Pie.

The film is set for release on February 27, 2009, but I haven’t seen any US promotion for it. Do they want this movie to do good?
