Dreamworks Studios has provided two production stills to Coming Soon.net for the Shawn Levy-directed film Real Steel, along with an official plot synopsis. Read on to find out more about the plot and to take a look at the stills!

From ComingSoon.net:

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.

Lookin’ cool so far! I am anticipating this one a lot, since it is being filmed in my home state of Michigan, and I actually will be participating in the production as a movie extra. Probably won’t show up in the final cut though. 🙂

Real Steel stars Hugh Jackman, Evangeline Lilly and Dakota Goyo, and will be released in theaters nationwide November 18, 2011.
