I tend to think Shawn Levy has some kind of incriminating dirt on Hugh Jackman…why else would such a good actor appear in the equivalent of ROLLERBALL meeting “American Gladiators”?
As I’ll try to lighten up, you may be interested in knowing a pair of new one-sheets for REAL STEEL have been mounted. As you can see, Jackman, even with his dukes up, is a far cry from Wolverine intimidation. Still, dude looks ready to throw it down.
Also featuring Evangeline Lilly, 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.
REAL STEEL enters the ring October 7th.
