On October 7, 2011 Dreamworks newest film, Real Steel, opens in theater across the country. I was very lucky to see a screening of the movie while I was out in Los Angeles just recently.
I honestly thought the movie was going to be a combination of Rock ‘em Sock ‘em Robots and Transformers. Its not. It’s so much much then that. Yes, the movie does have some pretty amazing robots, but the movie goes much deeper then that. The movie is more so about the relationship between a father and his son, believing that anything is possible, and redemption.
I love Hugh Jackman. He could act out ads in the yellow pages and still do an amazing job (ha ha). Dakota Goyo, who plays Hugh’s son in the movie, is the one to watch. That young man is going to be a star.
Here is a clip from the film that gives you a glimpse behind their father-son relationship.
I had the wonderful opportunity to participate in a round table interview with Hugh Jackman, Anthony Mackie, and boxing consultant Sugar Ray Leonard as well as others behind the film. I’ll be posting those interviews here over the next week.
To get you excited about the film I have a giveaway of some Real Steel promotional products to give to a lucky winner. The prize includes…
- Real Steel shirt (S, M, L and XL). I will try and get your size choice if possible.
- Real Steel bottle opener
- Real Steel Stickers
- Real Steel temporary tattoos
My husband actually has the same shirt that is in this prize package. He likes it because it has the feeling of being an old, worn shirt. Meaning, it feels like it’s been “broken in”. Its not stiff and scratchy like new shirts can be. He says it has that soft, well loved and well worn feeling to it.
