Ah, REAL STEEL…DreamWorks has put a ton of faith (dough) in you. Will you leave the public ring a victor come October 7th?
To help, we’ve got a bunch of new REAL STEEL goodies to share with y’all. First, we have a trio of new clips from the film…all of which feature star Hugh Jackman mixing it up with a legion of combative machines. One question, what’s with the glowing headgear?
As you sit on that, I’ll have you know a neat, interactive Facebook promotion for the film is available as well. Dubbed “Facebook Bot Banner Builder,” simply follow the directions HERE to create your own customized REAL STEEL banner that will temporarily appear on your Facebook page. Not a bad way to pass some time at work I suppose…
As for the film, it also stars Evangeline Lilly (below), Anthony Mackie, Kevin Durand, Dakota Goyo, Hope Davis, Phil LaMarr, Olga Fonda and Karl Yune.
A gritty, white-knuckle, action ride set in the near-future where the sport of boxing has gone high-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.
