Hooray!

This is worth a second blog today, if for no other reason than the fact that my dream of seeing Mark Wahlberg shirtless, post-Oscar nomination, IS going to come true. (Thank you Hollywood movie gods.) And also because I happen to really love boxing and think this will be a great movie.

Damon, Wahlberg tapped for boxing movie:
Paramount is set to put Matt Damon and Mark Wahlberg in the lead roles for The Fighter, a drama about boxer ''Irish'' Micky Ward's rise to the lightweight title with the help of half-brother Dicky, a boxer-turned-trainer who rebounded after struggles with drugs and crime. The actors will commit after evaluating a rewrite by House executive producer Paul Attanasio. Shooting will begin in early summer in Massachusetts. Like the real-life Ward brothers, Damon and Wahlberg are both from Massachusetts.
