According to Production Weekly, “Filming begins June in Michigan on “Real Steel” starring Hugh Jackman as Charlie, a downcast former boxer-turned-trainer of boxing robots.”
The script is based on a story by Richard Matheson, who also wrote several episodes of the “Twilight Zone” and authored “I Am Legend.” The film is being described as Rocky meets Wall-E and is already getting panned by critics but with Steven Speilberg as Executive Producer, how bad can it be?
Jackman also recently revealed there will be a “Wolverine II” and it will probably be filmed in the Japan. “Wolverine’s going to be back. He’s going to Japan. We shoot that probably in a year, year-and-a-half, something like that,” he added.
Be sure to stay tuned as more information and filming location information is revealed!
How can this movie be “panned by critics” when it even doesn ´t exist yet? If any “critic” said something then it´s an idiot and not a critic.
Where in Michigan?
Here’s more on the exact locations (Well speculation about the locations anyway)
