DreamWorks has released the first look at the Shawn Levy (Night at the Museum) directed, Real Steel. The movie stars Hugh Jackman, Dakota Goyo, Evangeline Lilly, Kevin Durand and Anthony Mackie. In the film, motion-capture animation is used when the machines are brawling, but 19 real-life animatronic robots were created for scenes with the human actors (the mix of practical and mo-cap was encouraged by Executive Producer Steven Spielberg).

Synopsis:

A gritty, white-knuckle, action ride set in the near-future, where the sport of boxing has gone hi-tech, “Real Steel” stars Hugh Jackman as Charlie Kenton, a washed-up fighter who lost his chance at a title when 2000-pound, 8-foot-tall steel robots took over the ring. Now nothing but a small-time promoter, Charlie earns just enough money piecing together low-end bots from scrap metal to get from one underground boxing venue to the next. When Charlie hits rock bottom, he reluctantly teams up with his estranged son Max (Dakota Goyo) to build and train a championship contender. As the stakes in the brutal, no-holds-barred arena are raised, Charlie and Max, against all odds, get one last shot at a comeback.

Real Steel is slated to hit theaters in November of 2011.
