The Fighter is one of those movies that’s production echoes it’s script, to the point where it’s less seconds and more months out for Marky Mark’s punishing and passionate pugilistic effort, but despite the nebulous involvement of a galaxy of stars (Matt Damon and Marty Scorcese can take a bow) it turns out to have been well worth the wait….

NewsGush: Real Steel Trailer!

So, looks like Hugh Jackman’s latest ‘Real Steel’ has a trailer then. Jackman will be playing a meatsack who trains giant rock ‘em sock ‘em robots to punch each other’s lights out, eventually facing off against the unstoppable ‘Collosus’. Why is he unstoppable? Well, I can’t imagine it will be anything like the extraordinarily similar short story by Peter F. Hamilton, and turn out that there’s a human brain inside the robot or anything.
NewsGush: Wolverine Vs Robots!

We all know the best part of the X-Men movies was when Wolverine stuck his in-built kebab skewers through some moron in a cape, so the thought of Hugh Jackman becoming a sort of Robocop/Rocky hybrid is pretty alluring.
Jackman has signed up for Dreamworks’ Real Steel, playing a futuristic pugilist who teams up with an unbeatable mystery robot for some iron-on-iron ring action, not to mention – this being Dreamworks – some father/son bonding.
The director (Night at the Museum’s Shawn Levy) unfortunately leads us to believe this will be more cutesy family Rock ‘ em Sock ‘em Robots than Robot Jox, but hey, low tech automated smackdowns are always good for a few yuks so fingers crossed!
