Hugh Jackman steps into the ring October 7th to defend DreamWorks’ robot-boxing picture REAL STEEL. Think he has a chance?!?
If you’re on the fence, perhaps this new clip from the film will help shape your mind. In it, you’ll see Charlie (Jackman) make a comeback into the arena of prize-fighting. He’s met by old pal (played by Anthony Mackie), who warns he must be prepared to fight to the death with his new robot prodigy “Noisy Boy.”
With Evangeline Lilly (below), Anthony Mackie, Kevin Durand, Dakota Goyo, Hope Davis, Phil LaMarr, Olga Fonda and Karl Yune also in the mix:
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.
