Hope Davis has joined the cast of the sci-fi boxing pic 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.
Dakota Goyo, Kevin Durand, Anthony Mackie, James Rebhorn, Olga Fonda and Evangeline Lilly also star
John Gatins adapted the script.
Shawn Levy will direct and produce alongside Don Murphy and Susan Montford.
Shooting kicks off later this month.
