Apparently, having tough-guy actors like Christian Bale and Mark Wahlberg around isn't enough to deter a curious fan from trying to sneak a peek at their co-star, Amy Adams, while in her trailer on the set of The Fighter.
According to RadarOnline.com, shortly after 1,500 extras participated in a major boxing scene at Paul Tsongas Arena in Lowell, Massachusetts, an unidentified man climbed the stairs to Adams' trailer and stuck his head inside. Adams, who was speaking with a production worker inside the trailer, was startled and scared the intruder off by yelling at him. The man ran off and is currently at large. In the wake of the incident, security around the set has been tightened.
Inspired by a true story, The Fighter tells the story of "Irish" Mickey Ward (played by Wahlberg) and his half-brother and trainer, Dickie Eklund (Bale), who fought former world champion Sugar Ray Leonard in 1978. With the assistance of Ecklund, Ward fought throughout the '80s and 90s and his fights against Arturo Gotti are considered some of the greatest in boxing history. Adams plays Charlene, a tough bartender and former athlete who falls in love with Wahlberg's character.
Variety reports that Amy Adams is in negotiations to star in The Fighter alongside Christian Bale, Mark Wahlberg, and Melissa Leo, who was nominated for an Oscar for her performance in Frozen River.
Due for release sometime in 2011, The Fighter is being directed by David O. Russell, who helmed I Heart Huckabees, Three Kings, Spanking the Monkey, and the upcoming political comedy Nailed starring Jessica Biel and Jake Gyllenhaal. The Fighter is based on the true story of "Irish" Micky Ward, a boxer from South Boston who rose to prominence on the welterweight circuit during the mid-1980s.
Wahlberg will portray Ward, while Bale will play Ward's half-brother, Dicky Eklund, who recovered from drug addiction to help guide Ward's career. Leo will portray Ward's mother. If cast, Adams would play the part of a bartender who develops a romantic relationship with Ward.
Adams's other upcoming projects include Julie & Julia, in which she will star opposite Meryl Streep. She also recently finished filming for Anand Tucker's romantic comedy Leap Year.
