Four new “character” posters have been released for the upcoming fighting robots movie Real Steel, featuring the robots Atom, Ambush, Midas, and Noisy Boy. I hope this movie doesn’t suck, because it honestly looks pretty fantastic. Nothing like giant steel robots beating the scrap out of each other.
The movie was directed by Shawn Levy and stars Hugh Jackman, Evangeline Lilly, Dakota Goyo, Kevin Durand, and Anthony Mackie.
Real Steel hits theaters in a few weeks on October 7, 2011.
Check out the awesome posters and a viral clip after the break.
A gritty, white-knuckle, action ride set in the near-future, where the sport of boxing has gone hi-tech, Real Steel stars 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 (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.
