With the recent popularity in toy-based movies, I'm surprised Rock'em Sock'em Robots has yet to be optioned for development. DreamWorks' Real Steel [RSTEL] sounds like the next best approximation. The trades are reporting that Hugh Jackman [HJACK] will next star in the Sci-Fi action film set in a future where human boxing has been outlawed and replaced by robots. Jackman plays a promoter who with the help of his teenage son reshapes an old fighter into a top fighting machine for a boxing tournament. Shawn Levy is directing the film based on a short story by Richard Matheson.
