Paramount Pictures try to bring The Departed co-stars Mark Wahlberg and Matt Damon together, reports Variety.
Studio has fast-tracked The Fighter, a drama about boxer Irish Micky Ward's unlikely road to the world lightweight title. His Rocky-like rise was shepherded by half-brother Dicky, a boxer-turned-trainer who rebounded in life after nearly being KO'd by drugs and crime.
If they like the script, Wahlberg and Damon will commit, and each will make The Fighter his next film.
Shooting will begin in early summer in Massachusetts.
