Based on Richard Matheson's 1956 short story "Steel",[8] the original screenplay was written by Dan Gilroy and was purchased by DreamWorks for $850,000 in 2003 or 2005 (sources differ).[8][9] The project was one of 17 that DreamWorks took from Paramount Pictures when they split in 2008.[8] Director Peter Berg expressed interest in the project in mid-2009 but went no further.[9] Levy was attached to the project in September 2009,[10] and Jackman was cast in the starring role in November for a $9 million fee.[11] In the same month, Steven Spielberg and Stacey Snider at DreamWorks greenlit the project.[8] Les Bohem and Jeremy Leven had worked on Gilroy's screenplay, but in 2009 John Gatins was working on a new draft.[9] When Levy joined the project, he worked with Gatins to revise the screenplay,[12] spending a total of six weeks fine-tuning the script. Advertising company FIVE33 did a two-hundred page "bible" about robot boxing. Levy said he was invited by Spielberg and Snider while finishing Date Night, and while the director initially considered Real Steel to have "a crazy premise," he accepted after reading the script and feeling it could be "a really humanistic sports drama."[13]

Jason Matthews of Legacy Effects, successor to Stan Winston Studios, was hired to turn production designer Tom Meyer's robot designs into practical animatronic props. He said, "We have 26-and-a-half total live-action robots that were made for this film. They all have hydraulic neck controls. Atom has RC [radio-controlled] hands as well."[19] According to Jackman, executive producer Spielberg "actually said to Shawn, 'You should really have real elements where you can.' ... Basically if they're not walking or fighting, that's a real robot."[20] Levy added that Spielberg gave the example of Jurassic Park, where Winston's animatronic dinosaurs "got a better performance from the actors, as they were seeing something real, and gave the visual effects team an idea of what it would look like." As Real Steel was not based on a toy, Meyer said that "there was no guideline" for the robots, and each was designed from scratch, with an attempt to put "different personality and aesthetics," according to Levy. In Atom's case, it tried to have a more humanizing design to be an "everyman" who could attract the audience's sympathy and serve as a proxy to the viewer, with a fencing mask that Meyer explained served to show "his identity was a bit hidden, so you have to work harder to get to see him."[21] Executive producer Robert Zemeckis added that the mask "became a screen so we can project what we want on Atom's face." Damage was added to the robots' decoration to show how they were machines worn out by intense battles.[13]

For scenes when computer-generated robots brawl, "simulcam" motion capture technology, developed for the film Avatar, was used. As Levy described the process, "[Y]ou're not only capturing the fighting of live human fighters, but you're able to take that and see it converted to [CGI] robots on a screen instantaneously. Simulcam puts the robots in the ring in real time, so you are operating your shots to the fight, whereas even three, four years ago, you used to operate to empty frames, just guessing at what stuff was going to look like."[22] Boxing hall-of-famer Sugar Ray Leonard was an adviser for these scenes[14] and gave Jackman boxing lessons so his moves would be more natural.[23]

"Steel" is not The Twilight Zone's finest hour. "Boxing was legally abolished in 1968," intones host Rod Serling. Fortunately for fight fans, robotics have somehow leapt ahead to the point where humanoid robots can plausibly stand in humans in the ring. Lee Marvin plays "Steel Kelly," a human former boxer who pretends to be a robot after the robo-boxer he manages breaks down ahead of a bout with its robo-opponent. Needless to say, the fight goes poorly for Kelly, and Serling solemnly informs us that his loss is "proof positive that you can't outpunch machinery" (is that really a lesson we needed?).

-The scenes are about entertaining situations with obstacles and conflict and reversals in a way that they can stand on their own. 

-The main character is entertainingly douchey, but still always functions because he gets knocked down constantly and also interacts with a type of characters who can handle his douchyness without feeling like victims.

-The relationships have enough emotional baggage and unresolved conflict to get invested in, in a way that the audience can really wish for them to be resolved. 

-The theme connects all external and internal plotlines into one united story about finding gold inside discarded things, whether it's an abandoned robot or an abandoned child.

-There's also something incredibly cinematic about boxing.

It really is a bit of a marvel how well ThreeA is able to take these preexisting complex designs from Real Steel, dissect them down to the smallest bit, then rebuild them into functional, fully articulated toys.

Charlie Kenton (Hugh Jackman) is a former boxer living at an undisclosed time in the future after it has become illegal for human beings to engage in boxing matches for money. In this new world only robots are permitted in the ring, and they win money for their owners. Charlie travels around trying scare up some matches for his battered second-rate robot, but when he books a fight that virtually destroys his pile of junk, he is in real trouble because he no longer has a robot, and he owes a lot of money for past bouts that his machine has lost.

"Without that boy being that good we really don't have a movie," Jackman says. "The movie exists on the strength of that relationship and the relationship with that discarded robot. It's the redemption tale of these three and this kid is phenomenal. He is funny, he's full of life. He's a brilliant actor and the nicest kid imaginable. I have no doubt he's going to become a huge star and I'll be in the old person's home saying 'You know, I was in his first movie' and they'll be saying 'Shut up, Jackman.'"


Many big Hollywood movies with robots as central characters rely on big, loud action scenes. "Real Steel" has some of that, but director Shawn Levy pairs the action with the emotional father-son story.


"The self-given mandate of "Real Steel" was to do science fiction with sentiment, to do as much heart as action," Levy says. "My feeling is that was the chance that "Real Steel" had of being unique because robot action sequences in 2011 do not bring an inherent newness and I thought that to pretend they do would be delusional, silly and short-sighted."


Guided by producer Steven Spielberg, Levy used full-sized real robots instead of computer-generated images whenever possible. 


"There is no comparison in what you get from your actors. If you're asking them to fake it, that's tough. But if you're asking an actor to play a scene with a real two-meter tall robot, you get something different altogether," Levy says. "My co-star is 10 years old; the reason those scenes have magic to them and the reason it looks like that boy loves that robot is because that actor loved that robot."


The robot boxing looks authentic thanks to the special ring advisor on the movie, former welterweight champion Sugar Ray Leonard. 


"I tried to make sure that it stayed close to boxing," Leonard says, "but they are robots and they can do some things that normal boxers can not or are not allowed to do."


Leonard also worked with Hugh Jackman on the moves, attitude and bearing of a boxing champ, help to give 'Real Steel" a realistic edge along with its emotional heart.



It is a small part but in a really good movie. I am credited as the Twin Cities Controller. My job in the movie is to control Twin Cities, the red two-headed tyrant/robot with spinning heads, who is currently getting his ass kicked in all the trailer spots.

It was a little jarring at first to see the supposed main character Charlie Kenton be such a award-winning douche at the beginning of the movie, not the kind of hero that you want to be rooting for (as the case goes for these Rocky-type movies). He tries to make a fast buck from three delightful (reel and real) siblings for taking a picture of his fighting robot, swaggers into a custody hearing with no intention of staying long, and finally gets the money he desperately needs by demanding $100k in exchange for relinquishing full custody of his son. And all that in the first 20 minutes!

Real Steel is a movie about the very opposite of real. A movie with no heart, with the humans and their emotions and interpersonal conflicts merely filling the gaps between robot boxing, and for that it is a perfectly average, entertaining movie.

\u201CReal Steel\u201D takes place in a sort of alternate reality where humanity has invented sophisticated robots, and since these robots can engage in far fiercer carnage than mere humans, \u2018Robot Boxing\u2019 has now become America\u2019s pastime of choice (I wonder if there\u2019s Robot Baseball in this world?). Hugh Jackman stars as Charlie Kenton (and it\u2019s a testament to the strength of the film\u2019s characterization that for the first time in a few weeks, I actually remembered the name of the protagonist without looking it up), a down-on-his-luck operator of robot fighters who used to be one of the best boxers in the world before machines put him out of a job.

Most of the success of the story can be attributed to the cast, because if we didn\u2019t believe in these characters, the movie would promptly fall apart. Hugh Jackman, never content to half-ass a performance, inhabits the role of Charlie with the same confident, roguish charm he brought to Wolverine, but he also lends the character a greater sense of heart than he ever got to exhibit in \u201CX-Men.\u201D As Max, young Dakota Goyo is a real find; unlike most child actors, he has a real screen presence, and though some of the dialogue he\u2019s saddled with is cringe-worthy, Goyo makes it all look natural; the highest praise I can give is that I never got the sense this kid was \u2018acting,\u2019 and that\u2019s also a testament to Shawn Levy\u2019s direction. 9af72c28ce
