The Lexington Flick movie theater was closed last night for the filming of “The Fighter,’’ the biopic about Lowell boxer “Irish” Micky Ward. Actor Mark Wahlberg, who plays Ward in the film, and Amy Adams, who costars as his girlfriend, were working at the Mass. Ave. cinema well into the evening, filming in front of the Flick building and in one of its screening rooms. “The Fighter,’’ which costars Christian Bale, wraps next Wednesday.

Christian Bale’s setting off all kinds of alarms again.

Filming of The Fighter is underway in Massachusetts, and we have a super spy on the set giving us some dee-lish deets. Seems the big three (Bale, Mark Wahlberg and Amy Adams) were all on location at the retro-hip Olympia Restaurant, a frequent hang for past real-life fighters like Mickey Ward.

You remember that perfectionist Bale likes to do things as realistically as possible, right? He’s slimmed down dangerously for parts before (like The Machinist), and now the emaciated actor’s doing it again.

“[Christian] has lost almost as much weight as he did for The Machinist. He is so gaunt,” blab our eyes, standing right next to the Batman star. (Read full story …)

If you have a nice older car you could be in a movie this weekend.

Boston Casting is looking for extras for scenes in the new Mark Wahlberg movie “The Fighter.”

They’re shooting Friday and Saturday night in Lowell.

According to the Eagle-Tribune, they’re “looking for a couple of nicer cars (re: Mercedes, BMW, Lexus, etc.) from before 1993.” People can also work as extras with their cars. (Read full story …)

Mark Wahlberg was rushed to hospital after inhaling smoke on the set of his latest movie.

According to RadarOnline.com, The Italian Job star was taken to Massachusetts General Hospital after a mishap while filming The Fighter.

“Mark was working on a scene where a smoke machine was being used for atmosphere and apparently he breathed in too much smoke,” a source said.

“When he woke up the next morning he was gasping for breath, so he was taken to Massachusetts General Hospital where he was put on a breathing device that helped clear his lungs.”

Wahlberg was released from hospital and back at work the same day.

Remember five years ago when that trilogy about the midgets trying to return jewelry to Pompeii made billions of dollars and swept the Oscars? And how two years later its director tried his hand at resuscitating another famous property and was met with a lot of “meh”s and “it’s too long!”s? And how in the intervening four years everyone has asked “is he doing The Hobbit?”, “what about Halo?” and various other sweaty, agitated questions?

Well fret no more, Peter Jackson fans! The Lord of the Rings director is back this December with his adaptation of Alice Sebold’s The Lovely Bones, the first trailer of which went live yesterday. Check it out:

Mark Wahlberg has finally made it official! The actor and his longtime girlfriend, model Rhea Durham, tied the knot on Saturday, PEOPLE has confirmed.

The couple, who have three children – Ella Rae, 5, Michael, 3, and 10-month-old Brendan Joseph – were married Saturday in an intimate and romantic ceremony attended by their children and about 12 close friends and family at Good Shepherd Catholic Church in Beverly Hills.

Wahlberg donned a dark suit and the bride wore a white strapless Marchesa dress with silver embroidery and a Neil Lane diamond-and-platinum cushion-cut ring complemented by a diamond bracelet and earrings. “She looked like a princess and beyond stunning. Mark looked ecstatic,” says an eyewitness shortly after the ceremony, which lasted for about 45 minutes in the church, which was decorated with candles and pink and light purple roses.
