The teaser trailer for Shawn Levy’s fighting robots movie (no, not that one) Real Steel has debuted online. It stars Hugh Jackman as a former boxer who “trains” a scrappy young robot to become a champ.
In case you are getting lost in the mire of all these new robot flicks, here are the films Real Steel is not:
It’s not Steven Spielberg’s Robopocalypse.
It’s not Steve Pink’s How to Survive a Robot Uprising.
It’s not Michael Bay’s Transformers: Dark of the Moon.
Check out the trailer for Real Steel and share your thoughts below!
The film imagines a future in which there is no such thing as human boxers, as they have all been replaced by mechanized fighters. Although motion capture technology will be used on the robots during the fighting sequences (legendary boxer Sugar Ray Leonard is working as an adviser), 19 animatronic robots were created for the rest of the film.
Jackman plays an ex-fighter who bonds with his 11-year-old son (Dakota Goyo) while grooming a junk-yard robot named Atom for the World Robot Boxing league. The film also stars Evangeline Lilly, Anthony Mackie and Kevin Durand.
Real Steel hits Australian cinemas late 2011.
Discuss: Does this look too much like Transformers for your liking?
>i never understood. what was the interesting part of the real steel..but anyways…its fine..not too very interesting..
>What`s wrong with Mr. Jackman. Real Steel and then wolverine 2.He is far more talented for these type of movies. Isn`t time for an Oscar or what!I hope he starts picking up scripts in the future with the quality of Inception.
