The film is a true story of underdog boxing champ "Irish" Micky Ward (Wahlberg) and his trainer/brother Dick Eklund (Damon). Following their lives from the rough-and-tumble streets of Lowell, Massachusetts to an internationally heralded bout at the world championships.
"The whole thing is to make it look real," said Wahlberg. "I want to do these guys justice. We don't want to do any over-the-top, unrealistic fight scenes. Their lives are incredible. The things that they went through, and the things that they overcame and endured. It's one of those amazing stories that I hope I get an opportunity to tell in my career."
Wahlberg also added that director Darren Aronofsky (Requiem for a Dream) is more than attached to help this film; he is actually already onboard. "I talked to him on the phone two days ago," said Wahlberg. "We're going to sit down with Matt and just figure out when we can start it."
