According to Variety, Hugh Jackman is in talks to star in Real Steal; a Shawn Levy directed film for DreamWorks.
The film is being called a "Rocky-with-robots saga" where Jackman would play an ex-fighter who becomes a promoter when human boxing is outlawed due to violence. The boxers are replaced with 2000-pound robots with "human qualities" but Jackman's character only has access to sub-standard parts. Like any good underdog story, it seems that the ex-fighter comes upon a discarded robot that always seems to win.
The film is being produced by Steven Spielberg, Robert Zemeckis, Jack Rapke and Steve Starkey as well as the director.
