The Fighter/Trivia
- Dyeing for Your Art:
- Christian Bale yet again lost a huge amount of weight for a role.
- Mark Wahlberg trained every day for four years waiting for the film to escape Development Hell. He wound up building a boxing gym at his house to make it easier.
- Fake American: Christian Bale as Dicky.
- Playing Against Type: Amy Adams as Charlene.
- Troubled Production: Amazingly averted. This only bears mention due to Christian Bale's bad temper and David.O.Russell's infamous anger issues and attempts at violence.
- What Could Have Been: Darren Aronofsky was originally attached to direct. He did remain on the film, serving as an executive producer. In a curious twist, David O Russell wound up nominated for Best Director against Aronofsky (nominated for Black Swan) at the 2011 Academy Awards.
