Amy Adams is in talks to join Mark Wahlberg and Christian Bale in David O. Russell's upcoming drama "The Fighter," which Darren Aronofsky was originally set to direct with Matt Damon (they both left the project).

The film focuses on the special relationship between boxer Mickey Ward (Wahlberg) and his brother Dicky Ecklund (Bale). Melissa Leo is also on-board as the guys' mother.

The Hollywood Reporter says Oscar nominee Adams is set to play Charlene, a bartender who ends up dating Wahlberg's character.

The lovely Adams is currently onscreen in "Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian." She will soon be seen in Nora Ephron's "Julie & Julia," a film that reteams her with Meryl Streep.

Relativity Media is backing "The Fighter" financially, with Paramount Pictures on-board to distribute.

Oscar-nominated actress Melissa Leo is in talks to star alongside Christian Bale and Mark Wahlberg in David O. Russell's upcoming "The Fighter," a drama about the special relationship between boxer Mickey Ward (Wahlberg) and his brother Dicky Ecklund (Bale). According to Variety, Leo would play the guys' mother.

Leo recently scored an Oscar nomination for "Frozen River," which I shockingly still haven't seen. Other recent appearances of hers include "Righteous Kill." Leo also has several projects lined up, including "Betty Anne Waters" and "Welcome to the Rileys."
