Steven Spielberg’s Dreamworks has hired Director Shawn Levy (who brought us Night at the Museum) to helm Real Steel, an upcoming science-fiction movie. The story revolves around a father and his estranged 11-year-old son who enter the world of robotic boxing. Actor Hugh Jackman got the lead role as the father. Besides Hugh Jackman, the movie Real Steel is also starring Dakota Goyo, Kevin Durand, Anthony Mackie, Evangeline Lilly, Hope Davis, James Rebhorn, and Olga Fonda. The release date of Real Steel is set for November 18, 2011.
Plot:
“Hugh Jackman is to play an ex-fighter who becomes a promoter when human boxing is outlawed for being too violent. The new gladiators are 2,000-pound robots with human qualities. The ex-fighter’s access to sub-standard robot parts hampers his hopes for glory in Robot Boxing, until he discovers a discarded robot that always seems to win. The ex-fighter has also discovered he’s the father of a 13-year old son, and they bond as the robot brawls its way toward the top.”
The premise of the movie Real Steel is actually based on a short story by Richard Matheson that was adapted into an original ‘Twilight Zone’ episode that starred Lee Marvin.
Regarding the robots in the movie Real Steel both real robots and CGI will be used. For example in the first official picture above, Hugh Jackman is actually talking to a real robot! But motion capture and CGI will be used for the fighting scenes.
