Amy news has been kickin’ the past few weeks and I apologize for once more for ‘disappearing’ on you.

So let’s get started shall we? Here is a list of all the upcoming TV shows Amy is scheduled to be on to promote Julie & Julia!

Amy Adams will star opposite Mark Wahlberg and Christian Bale in The Fighter, which David O. Russell is directing for Relativity Media and Paramount.

The drama revolves around the life of boxer “Irish” Mickey Ward (Wahlberg) and trainer-brother Dick Eklund (Bale), chronicling their early days on the rough streets of Lowell, Mass., through Eklund’s battle with drugs and Ward’s eventual world championship in London.

Adams will play Charlene, a tough, gritty bartender and former college high-jumper from Massachusetts who ends up dating Mickey.

Melissa Leo also has been cast as Wahlberg and Bale’s mother.

The movie begins shooting next month in Lowell.
