In the future, children will watch Australians beat the hell out of one another for fun!

And only when we run out of Australians will we turn to robots. Real Steel is one of those dumbass movies nobody asked for but, at the end of the day, have the potential to be a great deal of fun. We've already seen trailers for this one, but if some new footage comes out of Comic-Con, we'll be there to cheer the rock 'em sock 'em robots along. Hopefully, we'll also get to hang with:

  • Hugh Jackman (Charlie, the boxing Dad)
  • Hope Davis (The Mom, we're guessing)
  • Anthony Mackie (The friend, no doubt)
  • Director Shawn Levy (possibly a robot)

Set your gears here for all the news about Real Steel at Comic-Con 2011.
