Mark Wahlberg has revealed that he is looking to get Scott Silver to pen a sequel script to The Fighter.
The actor has talked about reprising the role of Mickey Ward since the success of the first movie and looking at his life after he won the title.
Silver wrote the first screenplay and Wahlberg hopes that he will get aboard the project to pen a second.
Speaking to MTV News the actor said: "We're hoping that Scott Silver, who really wrote the first one, will come on, write the script.
"This one we'd try to make a more commercial movie about the three big fights. Dramatically, there's a lot more at stake for Micky because [after] he won the title, people automatically thought - he's still living in Lowell [Massachusetts] - they thought all of a sudden he was rich.
"He made a couple thousand dollars for that fight when he won the title. And that's when things got really difficult for him."
We will next be seeing Wahlberg on the big screen early next year with new movie Contraband, which also stars Giovanni Ribisi and Kate Beckinsale.
