In case you missed this little tidbit of information in my report from the set of Real Steel, iconic boxer Sugar Ray Leonard was brought in to help choreograph the metal-smashing fights between the robots and teach Hugh Jackman some of his moves. A behind-the-scenes crew was around to capture the training between Leonard and Jackman to make his character and the boxing moves and punches he passes on to his robot fighter Atom as genuine and stylish as possible. Bringing in a champion boxer like Leonard for the film should help make the fights pretty damn impressive. Check out the Real Steel featurette below.

Real Steel is directed by Canadian family filmmaker Shawn Levy, of Just Married, Cheaper by the Dozen, The Pink Panther, Night at the Museum, Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian and Date Night most recently. The screenplay was written by John Gatins (Hard Ball, Coach Carter, Dreamer: Inspired by a True Story) from a story created by Dan Gilroy & Jeremy Leven (My Sister's Keeper, The Notebook). DreamWorks/Disney are bringing Real Steel to theaters everywhere starting October 7th later this fall.

Just saw the film last night at the press screening at the draft house. It wasn't an amazing film but did keep you entertained for the 2 hours it's run time was

i'm all for sugar ray but this film just looks like utter crap... i can't help but notice how much press it's gotten from Firstshowing and am left wondering, "do you guys really see any potential in a money dumpster of a CGI fest like this"?

Great shows like Firefly tank due to funding and Stephen King can't get a decent actor behind one of his film adaptations due to budget restraints no doubt and yet hollywood chooses to spend truck loads of cash on this %$#@??? i just don't get it. all you're doing here is collecting money from the parents of 10 year old kids, right? what happens when that kid is 12 years old by the time your sequel hits theaters and he's already matured beyond finding nonsense like that interesting...?
