HeyUGuys, courtesy of Momentum Pictures, has managed to finagle the UK quad poster for David O. Russell’s predicted Oscar frontrunner The Fighter.
The film tells the story of Dicky Eklund, played by Christian Bale, a real life boxer-turned-trainer who rebounded after a run of drugs and crime. Mark Wahlberg plays his half-brother “Irish” Micky Ward who rises to fame in the world lightweight championship despite facing adversity at every step. It’s your classic Academy Award winning boxing movie formula.
The Fighter is due in cinemas February 4th.
