Filming for The Fighter is now in session over at the Lowell Superior Court House. Actor Christian Bale is a definite for star spotting in downtown today. Bale is playing Lowellian, Dicky Eklund, in the boxing bio-pic who has had a few fights with the law in the past.

Last week, film crews were on Chelmsford Street at the former Gus & Paul's, now Buck's Bar. It's rumored the Highlands watering hole will play a pivotal role in the movie in a scene where Mark Wahlberg's character, Micky Ward, has his hand broken by a Lowell Police officer who responded to a bar room brawl.

Actress Amy Adams signed autographs, as did Wahlberg, after wrapping a day of filming on Christian Hill in the Centralville section of Lowell. Anyone have pictures to share?
