Top talent on board for Mandeville Films' Irish boxing bio

Mandeville Films' David Hoberman ("The Proposal"), a Visiting Assistant Professor in the UCLA Producers Program, is supervising the production of David O. Russell's bio-pic about Irish boxer Mickey Ward (Mark Wahlberg).

“The Hollywood Reporter” names Christian Bale and Amy Adams as likely co-stars.

The movie revolves around ... Mickey Ward (Wahlberg) and trainer-brother Dick Eklund (Bale), chronicling their early days on the rough streets of Lowell, Mass., through Eklund’s battle with drugs and Ward’s eventual world championship in London. Adams will play Charlene, a tough, gritty bartender and former college high-jumper from Massachusetts who ends up dating Mickey.
