Hugh Jackman in talks for Real Steel
Posted by Rodneyon 30. 09. 2009in News Chat
Hugh Jackman has had a lot of physical roles which he does really well. So when I heard he could be fighting robots in “Real Steel” I was instantly curious, but it appears he is in talks to star in a film about battle robots for sport. He wouldn’t be fighting them himself.

Hugh Jackman is “in talks” to star in Shawn Levy’s Real Steel, the BattleBots-like movie about a father and son who take a robot to the Bot Boxing Championship. However, the bots in this aren’t small. The film is set in the near future, where people control human-like 2000-pound robots that duke it out in the boxing ring.
This does sound like the Rockem Sockem movie, and frankly I am surprised they didn’t license the classic toy property to attach it to this vaguely related plot.
We already have Battleship and Stretch Armstrong coming, so why not Rockem Sockem Robots?

Sounds a lot like that Simpsons episode, cept it’s in the future.
Sounds like Jap animation stuff.
Medabots ftw.
Because you can’t take “Rock’em Sock’em Robots: The Movie” seriously.
Can he be in talks for a date with me?
