Real Steel

Didn’t see enough robot action in the teaser trailer for Transformers 3? Well, how about a teaser for the futuristic robot boxing action movie Real Steel starring Hugh Jackman?! Check it out after the jump!

Official Plot Synopsis:

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.

Both my wife and I were privileged to be extras in this film, which was all shot in my home state of Michigan. While I am not allowed to disclose any plot details for the scenes we shot, let’s just say we had a blast and Hugh Jackman is going to charm everyone who sees the film.

Real Steel, directed by Shawn Levy, stars Hugh Jackman, Evangeline Lilly and Dakota Goyo, and will be released in theaters nationwide October 7, 2011!
