Eminem was initially considered for the role that ultimately went to Mark Wahlberg in 'The Fighter'
“The first person that we thought would star in this film was Eminem,” Lieberman said. “Eminem was going to be Micky Ward.”
The producer explained that discussions surrounding Eminem followed the success of director Curtis Hanson’s 2002 film, which featured the music superstar playing aspiring rapper B-Rabbit in a story that incorporated autobiographical elements of the Grammy-winning performer’s actual past. Although Lieberman emphasized that there was “real life” to the possibility of Eminem playing the role, he did not specify how close this came to happening or why it didn’t work out.
He added that there was then a plan for the film to star Matt Damon as Micky and Brad Pitt as Dicky. Indeed, the project saw notable names come and go throughout the development process, as Darren Aronofsky was intending to direct before Russell took over. Eventually, Wahlberg and Bale landed the roles, and the movie collected $129 million worldwide . It earned seven Oscar nominations, with Bale winning best supporting actor and Melissa Leo prevailing for best supporting actress.
