(laughter) >> rose: joining me now, mark wahlberg, christian bale and director david o. russell, i am pleased, obviously, to have them here. how long have you wanted to make this movie? >> for over five years. >> rose: what was it about the story? >> everything about it. i grew up a huge fan of micky ward. i met him as i started to grow in my career and i thought, you know what? i've got to go out and find material that i want to make and stuff i want to develop and there was a rights issue then paramount called me and said not only did they have the rights secured but they had a script they wanted to make and that's where it started. >> that rights issue, right, that was that dicky had sold the rights? >> there were a few people who had claims to the right. >> your character, dicky eklund, sold the rights? >> well, mark knows better than me. >> dicky sold the life rights to micky. micky didn't know. that's whey heard. >> there's the movie right there. >> rose: there's a good movie ri
