Amy Adams is reportedly in negotiations to join Mark Wahlberg and Christian Bale in The Fighter, which will be directed by David O. Russell.

The young actress most recently appeared opposite Ben Stiller in Night at the Museuem: Battle of the Smithsonian, which has brought in $164 million domestically since opening in May. Later this summer, she'll star opposite Meryl Streep in the the cooking comedy Julie & Julia. The Sony release opens the same weekend as G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, so it will represent a nice little bit of counterprogramming.

Russell's most recent film, Nailed, is actually sitting on the shelf right now, and it may not find its way off. The political satire was plagued by financial problems and it has some crucial scenes that still need to be shot. Jake Gyllenhaal and Jessica Biel led the cast.
