While the idea of a movie about bccing robots always sounded rather cool, the first teaser trailer for the movie didn’t reallly have enough bot-on-bot action to give us a proper feel for Real Steel. However now a new promo has arrived, which has plenty of very impressive looking robot effects, as well as a better look at the film’s story. Here’s the synopsis: 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.’ The film hits cinemas, October 7th, 2011.
