The world’s most attractive male, Hugh Jackman, and his spectacular abs have signed on to star as a boxing promoter in the sci-fi movie REAL STEEL, so says Variety. If you’ve ever seen old episodes of THE TWILIGHT ZONE then you’ve probably already seen this movie since the original story was also adapted into an episode.
The basic premise is that human boxing has been outlawed because it is to violent, so the only boxing that is allowed is robot boxing. So there is Hugh Jackman and his abs, an ex-boxer who tries his hand at promoting but because he’s poor he can’t afford good parts and crap so he loses a lot…that is until he stumbles upon an old robot that always seems to win. Along the way he mends the relationship he has with his son and there are scenes that pull at your heart strings and what-not.
Maybe it’s just me, but I dig movies like this. The underdog scrapping against the big guys in hopes of reaching the top where there will be money and women waiting…with robots. Hugh Jackman is a great actor too, though I think he may be a little too pretty to play a hardened old boxer, though maybe they can ugly him up through CG or something or other.
