Tweet

Checkout the first two photos of Hugh Jackman's robot boxing flick "Real Steel". USA today reports that "19 real-life animatronic giants were created for scenes with the human actors".

“Real Steel” follows the story of Charlie Kenton (played by Hugh Jackman), 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.

Directed by Shawn Levy and it will hit the theaters on November 18, 2011.
