Hugh Jackman is in talks to star in the sci-fi boxing thriller "REAL STEEL" for DreamWorks Pictures says Variety.

Jackman is to play an ex-fighter who becomes a promoter when human boxing is outlawed for being too violent. The new gladiators are 2,000-pound robots with human qualities.

The ex-fighter's access to sub-standard robot parts hampers his hopes for glory in Robot Boxing, until he discovers a discarded robot that always seems to win.

The ex-fighter has also discovered he's the father of a 13-year old son, and they bond as the robot brawls its way toward the top.

"I AM LEGEND" author Richard Matheson penned the original short story which was previously adapted into an episode of "THE TWILIGHT ZONE".

Shawn Levy directs the project which John Gatins is currently rewriting. Don Murphy and Susan Montford are producing. Filming kicks off in May.

Synopsis : A gritty, white-knuckle, action ride set in the near-future, where the sport of boxing has gone hi-tech, Real Steel stars 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 (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.
