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.

The action packed new full trailer for DreamWorks upcoming robot boxing drama "Real Steel" is now online.

The Shawn Levy directed film stars Hugh Jackman, Evangeline Lilly, Kevin Duran, Anthony Mackie, Hope Davis, Dakota Goyo, James Rebhorn, Olga Fonda, Karl Yune and Phil LaMar.

Have to admit I am digging the look and feel of this film after seeing this new trailer. Looks a hell of a lot of fun, plus with the studio already planning a sequel that may indicate they feel they have a hit on their hands. Will surely attract an audience that was left wanting something more explosive from "The Fighter."

Watch the cool new trailer in various resolutions below;



"Real Steel" is released across the US and UK from October 7th.

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.
