Real Steel gets its real release date
Dreamworks and Touchstone Pictures announced the new release date for Real Steel which is really far away from now within most of our minds. November 18th, 2011 is when the Hugh Jackman starring film is set to be released with Shawn Levy directing the flick.
In the sci-fi action-adventure, Hugh Jackman will 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 (Coming Soon).
Once again, the feature is based off of a short story created by Richard Matheson with Stacey Snider and Steven Spielberg acting as executive producers.
