Amy Adams has joined the cast of The Fighter, the film that already stars Mark Wahlberg and Christian Bale, as two boxing brothers with serious underlining issues, that is to be directed by David O Russell. According to Variety, Adams would play a "gritty bartender from Massachusetts who ends up dating Wahlberg's character, "Irish" Mickey Ward." Adams and gritty don't really to go well together, as frankly she seems like the sweetest person on earth. She is a fantastic actress, though, and this production was already looking impressive. Adams just wrapped shooting on the Irish-set romantic comedy, Leap Year.
