Category: Trailers
A gritty, white-knuckle, action ride set in the near-future, where the sport of boxing has gone hi-tech, Real Steel stars Hugh Jackman as Charlie Kenton, a washed-up fighter who lost his chance at a title when 2000-pound, 8-foot-tall steel robots took over the ring. Now nothing but a small-time promoter, Charlie earns just enough money piecing together low-end bots from scrap metal to get from one underground boxing venue to the next. When Charlie hits rock bottom, he reluctantly teams up with his estranged son Max (Dakota Goyo) to build and train a championship contender. As the stakes in the brutal, no-holds-barred arena are raised, Charlie and Max, against all odds, get one last shot at a comeback.
This film is actually based on a Twilight Zone Episode (Steel #5.2) and the Twilight Zone had some amazing story ideas. I can also imagine movies on the next few years will no doubt start making XFiles episodes.
I have to say Shawn Levy is an odd choice to direct an action film. He is a comedic director having made The Night at the Museums, Date Night, Cheaper by the Dozen, The Pink Panther and so on. Hopefully he will have a fresh take on the action. It is about time Hugh Jackman got back onscreen!! This one is a way off with October 7 2011 slated in for now.
