New REAL STEEL Poster Of Hugh Jackman And His Robot

Check out the official, new REAL STEEL movie poster. On the film, director Shawn Levy said, “I want the audience to be conscious of the fact that although the film has a science‐fiction premise, these are not science‐fiction robots. The robots are things that we’d like to believe humans could have built. Apart from the scale of them––they’re not ‘Transformers’ scale and they’re not indestructible––we’ve given them some frailty and humanity in a way that reminds us of such antecedents Iron Giant or Wall•E.”

Hugh Jackman added, “All my professional life I’ve wanted to be in a movie that affected me in the way ‘Rocky,’ ‘Chariots of Fire’ and ‘Dead Poets Society’ did when I was growing up. Those movies inspired me, got me jumping out of my seat, made me laugh and totally involved me emotionally. This is the realization of a dream for me. I feel we’ve made a movie that will entertain and inspire people in the way those movies did for me.”

Synopsis:

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.

REAL STEEL stars Hugh Jackman, Dakota Goyo, Evangeline Lilly, Anthony Mackie, and Kevin Durand.
