‘Real Steel’ With Hugh Jackman Gets the Green Light
The robot action fighting film Real Steel starring Hugh Jackman has been greenlit by the studio and will begin shooting in June 2010.
The Rocky-esque giant robot fighting sports drama “Real Steel” has been greenlit by DreamWorks Pictures reports Variety.
Hugh Jackman portrays 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 film has an $80 million budget, so expect this one to be a major summer release in 2011. There’s been a lot of robot action in the theaters in the last few years, namely Transformers. Visual effects technology lends itself easily to effective robot work nowadays. Hopefully this movie will actually have more than cool effects.
