Real Steel, directed by Shawn Levy (Date Night, Night at the Museum), stars Jackman as an ex-fighter in a world where boxers are replaced by giant robots that compete in gladiator style battles. Lilly will play one of his friends, while Mackie will play a boxing promoter.

The film — produced by Steven Spielberg and Robert Zemeckis (Forrest Gump) — is based on the short story by Richard Matheson that was adapted into a classic episode of The Twilight Zone starring Lee Marvin.
