Anthony Mackie and Evangeline Lilly (Lost) are set to reunite on Shawn Levy's futuristic robot boxing movie Real Steel says Variety.
Based on "I Am Legend" author Richard Matheson's short story of an ex-fighter (Hugh Jackman) who becomes a promoter when human boxing is outlawed for being too violent. The new gladiators are 2,000-pound robots with human qualities. His 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.
Mackie will play a boxing promoter while Lilly will portray a friend of Jackman's character--both had roles in The Hurt Locker
Dakota Goyo also stars as the 13-year old son of Jackman
Levy, Don Murphy and Susan Montford will all produce
